109. A Guide for Moms Dealing with Parental Estrangement, Part 1
Join us as we talk about the great amount of compassion, humility, tenderness, and trusting God required to navigate parental estrangement. Learn how pride impacts your strained relationship and how to write a letter of amends.
Script for the Letter of Amends:
“Dear Son/Daughter, I’m writing to see if it’s possible to open up a dialogue with you. I know that you wouldn’t have this time apart from me if it wasn’t the healthiest thing for you to do. With that being said, I don’t completely understand why you cut off ties with me. It’s clear I have significant blind spots in either how I raised you or things I’ve done while you're an adult and I’m writing to have better understanding. Would you feel comfortable letting me know? I promise to read it from the perspective of listening and learning and not in any way to defend myself. Love, Mom”

Customer Reviews
Embracing the journey
I love finding a faith based podcast focusing on empty nest season! I have 4 adult children and can attest to the fact that it does not happen in 1 fell swoop— it is a journey through different stages of empty nest. Pamela has a great way of sharing her wisdom on the navigation of this journey.
Thanks Pamela!
As a midlife mama myself, I appreciate all of Pamela’s wisdom and suggestions to help me as I navigate an empty nest and how to be a positive force in my adult children’s life without overstepping.
2 gone, 2 to go!
I’m SO GLAD I found this podcast! I have found so much encouragement for this mom to 4 children: ages 27 to 19. Pamela shares real, down-to-earth examples and encouragement for those who are dealing with becoming and living as empty nesters. I find her sincere, understanding and full of empathy. Just give it one episode and you’ll see what I mean. She truly cares and wants to share what she’s learned along the way, all the while pointing us to THE One with ALL the answers: God.
