The Reconciled Relationships Podcast

Giving Your Estranged Child Space Without Losing Yourself


Listen Later

What happens when estrangement begins to soften—but trust hasn't fully returned yet?

In this deeply moving episode of The Sally Harris Show, a mom shares her story of a painful estrangement with her adult son that lasted over a year—and the fragile, hope-filled reconnection that began just one week ago.

This conversation explores:

  • How a single conflict escalated into silence and separation

  • What it feels like when reconnection finally happens—but on uncertain ground

  • The tension of wanting to reach out while trying not to overstep

  • Navigating guilt, fear, and "walking on eggshells" during early reconnection

  • The ache of being labeled "enmeshed" and not fully understanding why

  • How faith, prayer, counseling, and community support sustained her through the grief

  • Learning to regulate emotions, release control, and trust God's timing

This is not a "quick fix" story. It's an honest look at how healing often unfolds—gradually, imperfectly, and with both joy and fear coexisting at the same time.

If you're a mom navigating estrangement, reconciliation, or the long road in between, you are not alone—and you are not doing this wrong.

💛 If you're tired of carrying this by yourself, support matters. You were never meant to walk this journey alone.https://calendly.com/sallyharris-discoverycall/30min
