OMG he gets me. I was totally driven by *Machiavellianism* to cut myself off from all of the social, emotional, financial, and material resources that maintaining a relationship with my parents would have offered me.

It seems to me that those who tell their parents they are going "no contact" are just formalizing an estrangement that happened nearly as often in previous generations. A decent number of boomers had "just get through a 5 minute phone call a few times a year" relationships with their parents.
