Yes, or childless people growing old and lonely, when people around them start dying off.
In this specific case, I'm reminded of the work of philosopher Stefan Molyneux on parenting. He insists on the fact that adult relationships are voluntary, and has claimed that victims of child abuse can legitimately cut off their parents from their lives ("defooing").
In his own words:
De-fooing, or the act of separating from a destructive family of origin, is a deeply personal decision and can be considered appropriate in certain circumstances. It involves recognizing and addressing the negative influences and exploitation that may come from one's family. The decision to de-foo should be based on a careful evaluation of the relationships within the family and whether they are supportive or harmful. It is important to consider whether the family dynamics are preventing personal growth, happiness, and the ability to live according to one's principles. If a family is consistently undermining these aspects, then de-fooing might be a valid and necessary choice to ensure one's well-being and autonomy.
Molyneux is also the author of Peaceful Parenting (peacefulparenting.com), and I wholeheartedly share his great work here.
