When Your Grown Child Feels Like a Stranger
The first signs are subtle: shorter visits, rushed calls, the grandchild who used to run to you now hesitating. You tell yourself life is busy—but slowly, distance grows.
It’s easy to blame work, spouses, or modern life, but often the quiet rift stems from tiny, unspoken wounds over the years.
Reconnecting doesn’t require perfection. A simple, honest message—“I’ve missed you. I’m ready to listen. Show me where I went wrong”—can open the door.
Adult children aren’t seeking flawless parents—they want parents brave enough to change, creating a home that feels safe, respected, and welcoming again. ❤️
