How to Become the Person Your Adult Child Wants to Reconnect With

If your adult child came back into your life today, who would they find? When you're estranged from your adult son or daughter, it's easy to spend so much time wondering when they'll come back, whether they'll understand your heart, or if they'll ever notice how much you've changed. But there's another question that may be even more important: Who are you becoming while you wait? In this episode of The Sally Harris Show, I'm talking about the work we can do as moms during estrangement—not to manipulate our adult children into reconnecting, but to become healthier, stronger versions of ourselves. We'll talk about why rebuilding a relationship takes time, what happens when both you and your adult child have changed during the separation, and why reconciliation may feel unfamiliar at first. I also share part of my own reconciliation story and the moment I realized my daughter could hear the change in me before we were even seeing each other again. I was communicating differently. I wasn't giving all of my opinions or making the conversation about me. I was becoming curious about who she was and what her life looked like. And that's what I want you to remember: the work you're doing now matters. Your healing, growth, faith, and the woman you're becoming are not wasted—even if your adult child isn't acknowledging those changes yet. 💗 READY FOR PERSONAL SUPPORT?
