from The Reconciled Relationships Podcast · host Sally Harris

When Your Adult Child Isn't Who You Hoped They'd Be Every mom has dreams for her children—but what happens when those dreams are shattered? Maybe your son or daughter has chosen a destructive path, is distant and cold, or is caught in the grip of addiction. It's heartbreaking, and it can leave you questioning yourself as a mother. In this video, I'll walk you through: How to grieve the child you imagined without giving up hope Why addiction changes the person you're dealing with (you're not facing your child—you're facing the substance) How to separate their choices from your worth as a mom The shift that brings healing: focusing on who you are becoming ✨ If this is your story, you don't have to walk it alone.
