Should you continue financially supporting an adult child who refuses to have a relationship with you?
One of the most painful questions estranged moms face is this:
"My adult child won't even talk to me... but they still expect financial support. What should I do?"
In this special Q&A episode, Sally Harris explores the difficult balance between helping and enabling, why love and money are not the same thing, and how guilt, fear, and entitlement can keep parents trapped in unhealthy patterns.
If you've been wondering whether financial support should continue without a relationship, this conversation will help you think through your next steps with wisdom, compassion, and healthy boundaries.
In this episode you'll learn:
• The difference between helping and enabling
• When financial support becomes unhealthy
• How entitlement develops in adult children
• Why boundaries are an act of love
• How to respond when guilt and fear are driving your decisions
00:00 – A mom's difficult question
01:05 – Helping vs. enabling
03:20 – When financial support becomes unhealthy
05:55 – Should relationship matter?
08:20 – The danger of entitlement
10:45 – Are you responsible after age 18?
13:15 – Love and money are not the same thing
15:10 – Healthy boundaries without guilt
17:10 – Final encouragement
