estrangements
Bonds turned cold
Estrangements are instances of becoming distant or alienated from someone previously close.
The word typically describes rifts in relationships—between family members, spouses, or former friends: Years of estrangements from her children left her isolated.
An estrangement implies emotional separation that may or may not be permanent.
