The Lie Estranged Moms Replay at Night// What do you do when you've apologized… you've tried… and your adult child still chooses no contact?

In today's episode of The Sally Harris Show, I sit down with a courageous mom who shares her heartbreaking story of being estranged from her oldest daughter. This has been a season of silence, confusion, and grief — and yet, her faith is still standing.

Her daughter has struggled with alcoholism for over 20 years, and while this mom and her husband have tried to support her through rehab, counseling, and even financial help, the relationship has now shifted into a painful season of complete separation.

Despite letters of apology and attempts to repair, they were told to stop contacting their daughter — and the weight of guilt has been heavy.

In this conversation, we talk about: ✨ What it feels like to not fully understand why estrangement happened ✨ The lies many moms replay at night ("I failed her… I wasn't a good mom…") ✨ Addiction, accusations, and the confusion that comes with both ✨ Learning how to protect your heart and not be consumed by the pain ✨ How to focus on healing while still loving your child from a distance ✨ Why your identity must be rooted in God — not in the opinions of others ✨ The power of waiting on the Lord when you can't see what He's doing

One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when she shares a personal encounter with God through nature — a reminder that God is still speaking, still present, and still working even when nothing makes sense.

If you're a mom walking through estrangement, no contact, or deep grief over an adult child… please hear me:

You are not alone. You are not crazy for feeling this pain. And your healing still matters.
