Does SDAM increase the likelihood of becoming an Expat?

Does SDAM increase the likelihood of becoming an emigrant or perhaps becoming estranged from your birth family?
I ask because it seems that SDAM could lead to weaker personal connections. As an example with limited details, recently i was considering “starting over” only to discover that the other involved people were shocked by my callousness. To them we have a long and highly connected relationship. It wasn't till i started reviewing old photographs that i was reminded about many of those connections.
If its so easy to lose that personal connectivity, maybe when the opportunity to jump on a foreign bound ship becomes a much easier decision to make. Sometimes i feel like one of those penguins with strong desires to go off on my own.
I am estranged from my birth family, but i don't know if it counts. I didn't “cut ties” so to speak; the entire family just drifted apart from one another.
