Letters seem to have been universal in my family going back. There's a few cases like oh and then he moved out at 17 to the city 40 mi away, and one permanent cross-continental relocation by motorbike at 19 in the 1960s. Plenty of nearly estranged. But no one actually fully severed the connection, as far as I know.
- woofcat 5y agoI think a key difference is the level of access. Sending a letter once a month, seems like a reasonable connection to have with someone who lives many miles away. However in today's hyper connected world, you have Facebook, Instagram, E-Mail, Phone Calls, etc. People who you might enjoy some connection with, are able to connect with you a whole lot more.
