If you’re feeling ready for support and want to learn more about working together, I invite you to start with a short application. From there, you’ll receive next steps to book your Heart-to-Heart Consultation. Start here: sally-harris.com/H2Happ
Why does your adult child seem to blame you for everything?
If you've ever laid awake wondering, "What did I do wrong?" or felt like everything in your relationship somehow comes back to being your fault, you're not alone.
In this video, I explore why adult children sometimes place blame on their mothers, what may actually be happening beneath the surface, and why carrying all that guilt may not be telling you the whole story.
This isn't about blaming your adult child—and it isn't about blaming yourself. It's about understanding the emotional dynamics behind estrangement so you can begin carrying the pain differently and find a healthier path forward.
If you're a mom navigating estrangement, I hope this conversation brings you encouragement, clarity, and hope.
