Is Your Adult Child Pulling Away? Here Is Why...

from The Reconciled Relationships Podcast · host Sally Harris

Have you noticed your adult child pulling away lately? Maybe they're calling less, sharing less, and it feels like they need you less… and now you're questioning everything. If you've been wondering, "Did I do something wrong?" — you are not alone. In today's episode, I'm sharing something every mom needs to hear: pulling away doesn't always mean rejection. Sometimes it simply means your adult child is growing into independence, and the relationship is shifting into a new season. In this video, I walk you through 4 reasons adult children pull away, and how you can respond with strength, wisdom, and peace instead of panic. ✅ Why independence can look like distance ✅ How stress causes many adult children to withdraw ✅ Why old family patterns can start to feel "heavy" to them ✅ How pulling away can be a signal… not the end If you're in that confusing "in-between" season where things feel different but you don't know what it means yet — this video is for you. ✨ RISE Retreat 2026 — Registration is OPEN!
