I Stopped Trying to Fix My Relationship With My Daughter. Here's What Happened.
from The Reconciled Relationships Podcast · host Sally Harris
If you're estranged from your adult child—or walking through a difficult relationship with them—you may feel like you're constantly trying to say the right thing, do the right thing, and somehow fix what's broken. I know that feeling. For years, I held tightly to the outcome I wanted with my daughter. I replayed conversations, rehearsed what I would say, prayed the same prayers, and wondered what else I could possibly do. Until I reached a moment when I realized: I can't fix this. I have to let go. And surprisingly, letting go wasn't the end of hope. It was the beginning of something new in me. In this episode, I'm sharing 4 things that can begin to happen when you stop trying to control the outcome and start releasing what was never yours to carry alone. Letting go doesn't mean you don't love your child. It doesn't mean you've stopped hoping. And it certainly doesn't mean God has stopped working. Sometimes open hands are exactly where a new kind of healing begins. ❤️ Ready for support in your specific situation?
