Show by Kyira Wackett
Your kids do not call. They do not visit. They do not show up the way you hoped they would. So you wait. You hope. And sometimes, without meaning to, you guilt.Here is the truth. Healthy relationships do not grow from waiting or blaming. They grow when both people take ownership of how they show up. Your kids are grown, but your part in this relationship did not end. It shifted, and it is still yours.In this episode I walk through how to take ownership of your relationship with your adult children:How to reach out regularly without expecting something in returnHow to be curious about their world without making it about your disappointmentWhy offering support works and control does notHow to respect their boundaries even when it feels uncomfortableStrong relationships are not about who is at fault. They are about who is willing to show up.If this resonates and you want deeper support, book a free discovery call and we will map out your next step.Book a discovery call: https://calendly.com/adversityrising/discovery-call More: https://adversityrising.comThis is part of my series on messy parent-child relationships.
