Will my estranged child think I've given up on them if I start healing?
It's one of the most painful questions I hear from moms of estranged adult children.
Many mothers feel guilty about focusing on their own healing because they're afraid it will look like they've stopped hoping, stopped praying, or stopped fighting for reconciliation.
But what if the opposite is true?
In this episode of The Sally Harris Show, I answer a question submitted by one of our moms and share why taking care of yourself isn't giving up—it's preparing your heart for whatever God has planned.
In this episode, you'll discover:
Why healing yourself doesn't mean you've stopped loving your child
The two things every estranged mom should focus on
How fear and control keep you emotionally stuck
Why your health matters during estrangement
The question every mom should ask herself:
"Who do I want to be when they come back?"
How surrendering your child to God creates room for your own healing
Whether you've been estranged for months or many years, I pray this episode reminds you that your story isn't over.
With God, reconciliation is never impossible—and your healing matters, too.
