As adult children navigate relationships with their parents, their behavior often serves as a test of the mother's commitment and may feel like a punishment for past failures. The lack of response from the adult child can signal that they are not fully prepared to move forward in the healing process.

Therapeutic Healing
Working through hurt feelings in therapy is crucial for a complex healing journey.
The Importance of Patience
Patience is key as healing between parent and child takes time and does not indicate unworthiness of love or attention.
