If your adult child has become distant, stopped responding, set boundaries, or pulled away completely, you may be wondering what happened—and why everything you try seems to make things worse.

In this episode, I share three common patterns I see moms fall into when relationships with adult children become strained:

✔️ Over-explaining
✔️ Defending yourself
✔️ Chasing connection

These behaviors usually come from love, fear, confusion, and heartbreak—not bad intentions. But they can unintentionally create more distance and make meaningful communication harder.

If you're navigating estrangement, low contact, difficult boundaries, rejection, or ongoing conflict with your adult son or daughter, this conversation will help you understand how to respond differently and find greater peace in the process.

Remember: healing starts with awareness.
