Adult Child Estrangement: We Had No Big Fight... Then He Left

from The Reconciled Relationships Podcast · host Sally Harris

Many moms believe estrangement only happens after major conflict, abuse, or explosive arguments. But what happens when there wasn't a huge fight? In this episode of The Sally Harris Show, I sit down with a mother whose 22-year-old son gradually stepped away from the family after struggles with anxiety, depression, treatment resistance, and life choices that conflicted with the values they had established together. She shares the heartbreak of watching a child drift away, the grief of nearly 600 days without meaningful contact, and the hope that still remains despite the silence. We discuss: ✔ Adult child estrangement ✔ When your adult child asks for space ✔ Grief and loss during estrangement ✔ Boundaries with adult children ✔ Mental health and family relationships ✔ Preparing for possible reconciliation ✔ Healing while you wait ✔ Maintaining hope without chasing If you're a mom struggling with a strained or estranged relationship with your adult child, I hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone. 💜 Interested in sharing your story on The Sally Harris Show?
