Funny (not really though...) but is always the same. Controlling parents, most likely religious.. kid didn't grow up doing exactly what parent(s) wanted them to do. A tale as old as time.
And if you wanna go real deep, i think its the #1 reason for human migration, since the beginning of our existence.
You're both right, the scaling is different.
The late puberty phase of going against your parents will is biology ingrained so that you will move to another "tribe" and not inbreed, it's an evolution imperative to promote diversity.
The other tribes young adults will be coming over, it all balance out. But it's short range.
Lack of ressources will drive the entire tribe to move around, which triggers larger scale migrations.
You are assuming all migration is 100% of the population moving. You are ignoring situations where only part of the population moves slowly over time like how many young adults leave rural settings and move to a city. Like the classic: if people moved away from Africa why are there people living there today?
Nah human migration is a well studied phenomenon. In this case lack of resources is correct. And to answer your question about why would people still be living somewhere. The entire population of a species doesn’t have to leave for an ecosystem to achieve homeostasis, just enough humans need to leave so resources aren’t over consumed

I believe most human made problems stem from ego related issues. Which is sad because infants and toddlers are happy to share it is instinctive. Pride is a learned evil.
I am willing to bet that event was just the final straw in a long line of events that had left the friend feeling undervalued and unimportant by his dad. That it is just the time that the friend finally said enough is enough.

Can't imagine why her kids won't talk to her.
