I dont know Theo's circumstances, but there do need to be boundaries established somewhere. I cut my parents off over a decade ago due to unrepentant, evil behavior they refused to cease engaging in. Since yeeting my parents, the number of times I've been the victim of aggravated assault, simple assault, battery, armed robbery, etc have dropped to zero. I lost count of some of those before I yeeted them. Heck, I havent even had someone scream insults at me like a IRL version of Jerry Springer since I gave them the boot, as opposed to daily before then. I get that some people are overdramatic for attention because mommy told them to clean their room or somesuch, but I wouldnt assume cutting people off is always attention seeking. Given how screwed up Theo's life is, I suspect he did it for a good reason.
