In today's episode we discuss the recent trend of today's adult children choosing to go no contact with their parents.  As parents ourselves, it's heartbreaking for us to consider but we agree each individual has to set boundaries they feel aligned with.   We also explore how our age of adults would rarely go no contact even when we have a potentially toxic relationship with a parent.

In this episode of The Estranged Heart podcast, host Kreed Revere reflects on the journey of estrangement, exploring the complexities of parent-child relationships and the impact of trauma. The conversation delves into a harmful question posed by an estranged parent to their estranged adult child, examining the underlying issues of shame and misunderstanding. Kreed emphasizes the importance of recognizing trauma's effects, the need for genuine curiosity in healing, and the significance of leading with love and validation in relationships.TakeawaysUnderstanding trauma requires recognizing that it does not follow legal timelines.Children often stay in harmful relationships due to biological wiring for connection.Abuse in families can be intermittent and mixed with genuine love.Cognitive dissonance can prevent parents from acknowledging their role in estrangement.Healing the relationship requires a shift from defensiveness to genuine curiosity about the child's experience.⁠www.TheEstrangedHeart.com⁠Email: ⁠hello@TheEstrangedHeart.com⁠Work with Kreed: ⁠https://theestrangedheart.com/services⁠(private coaching, mediation, support groups, webinars, etc.)The Heart Collective: ⁠https://theestrangedheart.com/membership⁠Facebook Support Group for Estranged Moms (facilitated by Kreed)⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroup⁠To support the podcast and Kreed's work with estranged and reconciled parents and adult children: ⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/kreedrevere⁠

Megan is a loving family woman, equestrian, and survivor of abduction and attempted slavery born in Southern California. Although Megan spent many of her younger years growing her love for horses at her family's idyllic Colorado stable, her life prior was anything but calm. In fact, Megan was originally named Fallon Daniel, and on November 21st, 1985, Megan's birth father would attempt to extort $90,000 from the couple who would eventually adopt and raise her. After an unprecedented case that took the media by storm, Megan has joined us to share about all that's come next for her in her journey and healing. The Broken Cycle Media team is undeniably grateful for my friend's candor and advocacy, especially as this is the first time she's shared her story at-large.

So many of us feel blindsided when it comes to the relationships with our adult children. We heard a lot about the struggles of being a parent to babies, toddlers, tots, pre-teens, and teenagers, but not a lot about our role and relationship with adult children. The reason it can be so challenging is because so many of us struggle to let go of our parenting role and we can often feel that their decisions (which we can often judge as poor) reflect badly on our parenting. In this podcast I'm speaking with Coach Brooke Oniki about how we can show up better in the relationships with our adult children. You can find Brooke at www.brookeoniki.com Here's her Women's Conference talk: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/byu-womens-conference-may-2025-keeping-a-strong/id1819510541?i=1000712108423 Brooke's podcast: Midlife with Brooke Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the new episode of Being a Parent is Hard! "The Challenge of Parenting Young Adults" focuses on our struggles as parents to understand and meet the unique developmental needs of our young adult children. This includes their often painful but appropriate need to separate from us and make their own choices about fundamental issues such as choosing a partner, a career, or even the decision to have children. This is a time when the stakes are high, as important life decisions are being made. As parents, our challenge is to accept our lack of control, while still offering guidance and support to our kids as they change and grow.

What do you do when the child you raised with love becomes controlling, entitled, or abusive as an adult? In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Laurel Slade-Waggoner is joined again by Dr. David Clarke to tackle one of the most heartbreaking dynamics many parents face: navigating a relationship with an adult narcissistic child. Together, they offer biblical wisdom, righteous anger, practical strategies, and compassionate validation for parents dealing with verbal abuse, triangulation, financial manipulation, unlaunched adult children, and more. They also unpack: What to do if your adult child mirrors a narcissistic ex-spouse How to lovingly set boundaries without self-shame Why tough love is biblical love The difference between being responsible to vs. for your child When (and how) to stop enabling—and start healing The power of strategic truth statements and righteous anger Whether you're parenting through grief, guilt, or gaslighting, this episode will equip and encourage you to stand strong, walk wisely, and release what's not yours to carry. There is help, and there is hope.

Sarah Dionne joined Tim and Mary Lee to discuss: How should parents relate to their adult children who are leaving the home (children generally between the ages of 17 and 22)?There are many books teaching parents how to care for toddlers and teenagers, but fewer about what to do with adult children who are leaving or have already left the home.How do parents handle it when their children are leaving home? It's heartbreaking, yet by the time they are 18, parents should be ready and encouraged to see them leave.How long should daughters stay in their father's home?With time, the authority of father and mother shifts from command to wise counsel. But the obligation to be a mother and father does not end when children are over 18. They still need counsel; they should not be cut off—launched and forgotten.How do you keep your children's hearts soft toward you as they grow into adulthood?Links:1.

Our brain loves a good story, and what it doesn't know in facts, it will make up with fiction. It also really like to have a villain, a hero, and a victim in its story, and it especially loves to put us in the victim mode because when there we don't have to shoulder the responsibility for solving our problems, we can just stay in a place of blame, criticism, and accusation. If we are to move out of being stuck in victim mode, we have to learn how to banish the villain from our story and even stop expecting a hero to show up and rescue us. We have to learn how to step out of being the victim and become our own hero.   Thanks for listening!  Want to learn more about this concept?  Check out these podcasts:   #29 Validation #122 Your Story About You #139 Being a Martyr #140 Still Being A Martyr #152 Victim or Hero? #250 Being a Victim #268 Drama Response #291 Divorce and Self-Worth  Are you curious about what it would be like to work with me?

In this episode of the Joyful Courage Podcast, I talk with psychologist and author Natalia Aiza about the emotional and practical challenges of parenting highly dependent young adults. We dive into the ways our own anxiety and desire to protect our kids can lead to unhelpful over-accommodation—and how to lovingly step back without stepping away. Natalia shares insights from her upcoming book and the SPACE model, reminding us that while we can't force our kids into therapy or independence, we can shift the environment. We explore real-life examples, including turning off the phone at night, reducing codependence, and letting our kids experience natural consequences. If you've ever wondered how to support your struggling teen or young adult without enabling them, this episode is full of validation, practical tools, and compassion.
