She Lost Her Son at 18… and Lives With This Regret Every Day


Listen Later

In today's episode of The Sally Harris Show, I sit down with a brave mom from Texas who shares the painful reality of being cut off by her son at just 18 years old.

What started as a moment of conflict—one conversation, one request for an apology—turned into something she never saw coming: complete no contact.

She opens up about the grief of being blocked, the confusion of unanswered silence, and the crushing regret so many mothers carry when they replay the moment they believe "caused" the estrangement. But this episode isn't just about heartbreak—it's about faith, healing, forgiveness, and learning how to survive the waiting.

We also talk about something many moms don't expect to face: how estrangement becomes even more complicated when an ex-spouse is involved, and how spiritual growth sometimes requires forgiveness that feels impossible.

This mom shares honestly about: ✨ Feeling consumed by guilt and regret ✨ Parenting a son diagnosed with autism ✨ The pain of being rejected without closure ✨ The emotional toll of estrangement and grief ✨ How bitterness can become bondage ✨ Forgiving an ex-husband who caused deep damage ✨ Trusting God when nothing seems to change ✨ Learning how to heal while still loving your child deeply

If you are a mom walking through estrangement, no contact, or the heartbreak of an adult child pulling away… this conversation will remind you:

God can still restore what feels beyond repair.

Even in silence. Even in waiting. Even in loss.

You are not alone.
