It’s good that communication is open between her and your husband. Maybe he can ask her to specifically list the things you do that make her feel too enmeshed, and you can maintain minimal contact while changing the relationship to what works for her.
I feel this go no contact school of thought is extremely cruel in the cases of good parents. Forgive my anger at the therapists for encouraging such severe punishment, rather than working on building healthier relationships.
