How to Cope When Your Adult Child Cuts You Off: Advice for Estranged Parents (2026)

Dear Eric, I'm at a loss. My son, who was once a close part of my life, has suddenly withdrawn from me. It's been nine years since our relationship changed, and he hasn't spoken to me since. When I call, he hangs up as soon as he hears my voice, and I have no idea where he lives or what his life is like. I'm devastated and want to understand why he's cut me out of his life. I've tried everything I can think of to reach him, but he's unresponsive. I'm not sure if I should keep trying to contact him. I'm desperate for any advice you can offer. I just want to make amends and heal our relationship. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Miserable Mom
