My Adult Child Started Pulling Away After Therapy... Why?

My Adult Child Started Pulling Away After Therapy... Why?

Has your adult child started therapy... and suddenly they're pulling away? If you've found yourself wondering, "What are they saying about me?" or "Is therapy changing how they see me?"—you're not alone. In this video, I want to help take some of the mystery out of what may be happening. This isn't about criticizing therapy or taking sides. It's about helping moms understand what their adult child may be processing, why they may seem more distant, and—most importantly—what you can actually control. We'll talk about the influence of therapy, friends, social media, and other voices in your adult child's life, why intent and impact aren't always the same, and how responding with curiosity instead of defensiveness can create a better opportunity for healing. Whether your relationship is strained, low contact, or completely estranged, my hope is that this conversation brings you clarity, peace, and practical next steps. 💙 Remember: You cannot control what happens in someone else's therapy session... but you can control who you become. 💙 Ready to make real progress? If you're tired of feeling stuck and are ready to focus on one specific breakthrough in your relationship or your own healing, I'd love to talk with you.

Your Adult Child Blames You for Everything — This Is Why

Why does your adult child seem to blame you for everything? If you've ever laid awake wondering, "What did I do wrong?" or felt like everything in your relationship somehow comes back to being your fault, you're not alone. In this video, I explore why adult children sometimes place blame on their mothers, what may actually be happening beneath the surface, and why carrying all that guilt may not be telling you the whole story. This isn't about blaming your adult child—and it isn't about blaming yourself. It's about understanding the emotional dynamics behind estrangement so you can begin carrying the pain differently and find a healthier path forward. If you're a mom navigating estrangement, I hope this conversation brings you encouragement, clarity, and hope. ❤️ Need personal support?
