Thank you for this! It helped even today.🙏🏻💞

i’m enjoying your podcast. I wouldn’t say I’m completely strange for my children, but I noticed the contact is less and they don’t like to talk on the phone. They tell me when I tell them I miss them or want to see them that I making them feel guilty and suggestions I’m giving them more and more space but it doesn’t want to talk to me. I have three daughters we used to be so close.

I’m currently estranged from my son and I’m launching into the transformation stage. My question is should I send another text to ask what more he wants from me to have a one on one. Our estrangement started due to my drinking. I'm now 10 months sober and involved in a program. During our estrangement I have kept him up to date with my recovery. At first I would get congrats etc and then there was a text about connecting but not quite ready and then I reached out again and he lashed out because I asked him to respond and not leave me in text silence. So with my bday and the holidays coming up should I reach out to ask what more he needs from me or go the silent route. Appreciate your response. Marcia

Hi Janet , just listening to your podcasts, once again, now that my dghtr has been done ✔️ with me once again ,(too many times to count ) Do you offer, groups where there are others experiencing the same heartbreak ?💔 I would love that .. I look forward to your reply .. Blessings, Shelley

Thank you for these episodes. I am an adult child reconsidering my relationship with my father who has moved on with a new relationship less than one year after the death of my mother. Your advice is helping me understand the perspective he would have but also emboldens me to really think about my life and what this all means. I appreciate the advice to allow space to do work rather than react with regret.
