When Your Adult Child Walks Away, Don't Make This Mistake

How do you move forward when your adult child wants nothing to do with you? One of the greatest fears moms face during estrangement is believing that moving forward somehow means giving up on their child. But healing isn't the same thing as losing hope. In this episode of The Sally Harris Show, I sit down with one courageous mom who shares the heartbreaking journey of watching her relationship with her only son slowly unravel after he reconnected with his biological father. Together, we explore the pain of rejection, the weight of regret, and the difficult lesson that sometimes the more we chase, the further our adult children pull away. In this conversation, you'll learn: ❤️ Why moving forward is different from moving on. ❤️ How chasing your adult child can unintentionally create more distance. ❤️ What to do when regret keeps you stuck in grief. ❤️ Why giving your adult child space doesn't mean giving up hope. ❤️ How to begin rebuilding your own life while continuing to pray for reconciliation. If you're struggling with estrangement, silence, rejection, or distance from your adult son or daughter, I pray this conversation reminds you that your life still has purpose. Healing is possible—even while you continue hoping for reconciliation. ❤️ Ready to explore faith-based coaching?
