Raising your kids wasn't supposed to turn out like this.

Your adult child rejected you. You're hurt. You're angry. You're Ashamed. And you're miserable.

Maybe they've gone "No contact." No closure. No funeral. No sympathy. Just gone. And you're living in shame and guilt. You're wondering what you could have done differently, and maybe even wondering what you even did.

Or maybe they're still in your life. Barely. "Low contact." Distant. hostile. They may be in touch with your family but stay away from you. They left the relationship without fully leaving the relationship.

Together, I this is called Parental Rejection. you are left grieving your child who is still alive.

I know how much this hurts.

You replay conversations. You wonder what you did wrong.

Some days you're crushed by guilt. Other days, you're angry because nothing you did was bad enough to warrant this. Some days you just go through the motions. You wonder if you'll ever be happy again.

You're not crazy. You're not weak. Your pain is real. You weren't the monster they want you to think. And the lack of closure makes it worse.

I understand. And I want to help.

I am the only Christian Estrangement Specialist who has lived this from both sides of the divide and fully healed the relationships.

There's a path forward. I've walked it.

And now I want to walk it with you.

The journey of the child who rejected their parent

Like so many, when I was younger, I was misled about my relationship with my parent and I believed it. I carried that pain and resentment for 20 years. I saw everything as evidence for my new perspective. It was all I looked for.

But I was wrong. My parent was wonderful, loving. And perfectly imperfect. I refused to acknowledge the good. I had reviewed my past based on the bias of this new perspective from the advice of another person who was NOT in the relationship. And I believed that was the whole truth.

I missed out on so very much by never seeing beyond the surface. I judged my parent based on this bias without considering their's even once. I hurt us both. I missed out on so many years that might have been good together!

Revenge

Years later, I got my just rewards when my own child cut me off. I didn't think I had done anything that was worthy of that. I was a good mother. But I lost them, their spouse, and my three grandchildren in one day. But it didn't stop there. I made it more complicated with multiple mistakes, stretching out over months until the final good bye.

Mercy

By God's grace and true miracles, both relationships are fully restored today. And by His grace, I was healed and thriving before the relationships were restored. I learned so very much!

I'm Marit Welker, certified life coach, speaker, podcaster, and someone who has experienced this problem myself. I understand both perspectives. I've studied under exceptional mentors and received extensive training. My education, specialized training specifically for estrangement coaching, has helped me. But God has given me much more. I've seen God's hand in every step of my journey and that's what I want for you.

But our mistakes caused us both pain. I walked through fire to make the changes I needed to make. It took far longer than it needed to, and I risked losing them for good.

What I learned changed everything. I made the changes in myself that made the sweet reunions possible. I learned what God wanted me to become. That preparation gave me the strength and the direction to find my way. That is what I want for you.

I was called to bring this message to others. I was called to teach and lift moms who were suffering. I was called to strengthen families. I got the education I needed and have been able to lift others as they struggle to find their way.

I don't teach ideas. I teach what saved me.

I don't teach ideas. I teach what saved me.

I mapped the path for you, so you don't have to wander and make the mistakes I did.

Now, it's your turn!

The five-day challenge is where we start. Five days of one-on-one or small group coaching to see this work in action and feel what changes. No obligation. No risk. Just a chance to stop wandering and start moving. This approach is different. We try to see this from God's perspective. And we use multiple methods to try to bring you greater peace, strength, and joy.

The only question left is whether you're ready to take the first step.

You don't have to figure this out alone. God is with you on this journey. And I'd love to walk this path with you, too.
