Today’s episode is about mothers who have strained or estranged relationships with an adult child. A mother’s love is a different relationship than any other she may have in life. Whether you birthed or adopted your child, your love as a mother is fierce, protective, and unending.

If you are like me, you’ve experienced some rough patches throughout the rearing of your kids, and you may have rightful anger and even indignation about parts of their choices in life. But your love remained unconditionally. Because they are your children no matter what they have done in their past.

And that makes it even more difficult to deal with an adult child who has decided they don’t want you in their life anymore. It may be because of something you’ve done or not, but whatever the reason, it’s painful. But a mother’s love will not die.

Let’s dive into today’s episode to find out how to deal with an adult child’s rejection and your undying love and desire for connection with them.
