5 Myths About Adult Child-Parent Estrangement

Estrangement doesn't happen overnight—and it doesn't heal on its own. In this solo episode, Sally Harris breaks down five of the most common myths surrounding estrangement between parents and adult children. If you've ever found yourself replaying conversations, wondering what went wrong, or feeling like there's no way forward… this conversation will meet you right where you are. Sally walks through the deeper realities behind estrangement—what actually causes it, why it feels so confusing, and what it really takes to begin moving toward healing. This isn't about blame. It's about clarity, growth, and understanding the role both sides play in the relationship. You'll also hear a powerful reminder that reconciliation isn't about going back—it's about building something new. And while time may pass, true healing requires intention, emotional work, and a willingness to grow. If you've been feeling stuck, discouraged, or unsure of what's possible in your relationship with your adult child… this episode will give you a new perspective—and a renewed sense of hope. Why estrangement is usually a slow build—not a sudden break What reconciliation really looks like (and why it's not a "return to normal") The truth about blame—and why it's rarely one-sided Why time alone won't fix the relationship How hope for reconnection can still exist, even now Healing is possible—but it starts with understanding what's real and letting go of what isn't.   READY TO TAKE YOUR FIRST STEP?
