Ep. 329 Navigating Family Estrangement: Finding Peace Amidst Division

by | Feb 25, 2026 | Marriage, Family & Relationships

If you’ve experienced the deep heartbreak of an adult child cutting off contact—especially over politics, faith, or moral disagreements—you are not alone. In this episode, I speak directly to parents and families carrying this hidden grief and offer compassionate, faith-filled guidance on how to respond with love rather than division. We’ll talk about why this kind of estrangement has become so common, how to avoid the traps of anger and debate, and how prayer, silence, and affirming the good in your child can keep the door open for healing. Rooted in the wisdom of our faith and the hope of the prodigal son, this reflection is an invitation to choose love, trust God’s timing, and find peace even in a divided family. Join me for this important conversation.
