Start here: https://www.sally-harris.com/H2Happ Why You Need to Let Go of the Guilt When Your Adult Child Cuts You Off// Is my adult child’s estrangement my fault? If you’ve ever laid awake replaying your parenting mistakes, wondering what you should have done differently or asking yourself whether YOU are the reason your adult child walked away, this episode is for you. Mom guilt can become incredibly heavy during estrangement. Maybe there are things you wish you could go back and change. Maybe there’s an apology you need to make, a pattern you need to work on, or a moment you wish you had handled differently. But taking responsibility for your part is not the same as taking responsibility for the entire story. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between healthy self-reflection and unhealthy self-blame, why estrangement is rarely a story with one villain and one innocent person, and how to do the work God is asking of you without allowing guilt and shame to become your identity. Because “I made mistakes” and “I am the mistake” are two very different things. You can own what is yours. You can grow. You can change. And you can still allow yourself to experience peace and grace while God continues working on your family. ❤️ READY FOR YOUR NEXT STEP?
