About this episode

This episode discusses the painful estrangement between a mother and her adult son, exploring the reasons behind it and offering guidance for healing.

Why Adult Children Cut Off Their Parents (And What Moms Can Do)//What do you do when your adult child says they want nothing to do with you? In this episode of The Sally Harris Show, I sit down with a mom navigating a painful season of estrangement from her 34-year-old son. What once was a close, connected relationship has become distant and unclear—marked by limited contact, unresolved pain, and a heartbreaking message that felt final. We talk about what happens when adult children hold onto past hurt, why some relationships feel "stuck," and how a mom can begin to move forward… even without answers. If you're walking through estrangement, feeling rejected, or trying to understand your child's perspective while holding onto your faith—this conversation is for you. You are not alone in this. 💛 If you're ready for support and want help navigating your specific situation, I offer 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 place to explore what support could look like for you. 👉 https://calendly.com/sallyharris-discoverycall/30min BE A CALLER ON THE SALLY HARRIS SHOW email…
