If you’ve ever looked at your adult child and thought…“How did we get here?” this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, I sit down with a mom who has been navigating repeated cycles of distance, conflict, and silence with her 28-year-old son. What started as something as simple as a birthday dinner quickly turned into something much deeper—patterns of disrespect, emotional pain, and unanswered questions.
She shares what it’s like to love your child deeply…while also realizing you can’t fix everything for them anymore.
We talk about:
The heartbreak of repeated estrangement cycles
Verbal attacks and how to process them
The guilt so many moms carry (“Did I do something wrong?”)
Letting go of control without losing hope
And how to take care of yourself when your family feels broken
If you’re feeling stuck, confused, or emotionally exhausted in your relationship with your adult child, I want you to know—you are not alone in this.
There is still hope. But it may not look the way you expected.
✨ If you’re ready for deeper support, I offer something called a Heart-to-Heart Consultation—
A guided call to help you find clarity and direction in your healing process.
This is not a coaching call, but a space for us to look at what kind of support would best serve you right now.
