Book and Small Group Study

When Your Adult Child Cuts Off Communication... You Don't Have to Stay Broken.

If your adult child has walked away, you know the questions that keep you awake at night.

  • Why won't they tell me what I did that was so wrong?

  • Am I a failure as a parent?

  • Will they ever come back?

You Are Not Alone.

Estrangement is unlike any other loss. Because your child is still alive, the world often doesn't recognize the depth of your anguish.

You have been sitting in the waiting room of silence and rejection. But you were never meant to stay there forever.

Friends may not understand. Family members may choose sides. Every holiday, birthday, and family gathering can become another reminder of what has been lost.

If you've been wondering whether anyone truly understands what you're carrying... you're in the right place.

Meet Rejected Yet Redeemed

A faith-filled book for parents of estranged adult children who want to stop merely surviving and begin living unbroken.

In Rejected Yet Redeemed, Susan Metzger walks alongside parents of estranged adult children with biblical truth, personal honesty, and unflinching hope—drawing from the life of King David, a man who knew rejection, betrayal, and waiting.

This book is an invitation to discover that your identity, your peace, and your future do not depend on your child's choices.

Inside you'll discover:

  • Biblical hope rooted in the life of King David

  • Honest encouragement for the waiting

  • Reflection questions at the end of every chapter

  • A path toward healing—even if reconciliation never comes

  • Practical next steps to help you live unbroken
