EP. 21 The Impact of Divorce on Adult Children w/Marriage & Family Therapists and Authors of Home Will Never Be The Same Again Carol Hughes & Bruce Fredenburg

Split. The After Ever After Podcast

Every year in the U.S., over 600,000 people age 50 years and older file for divorce - and researchers project that by 2030 this number will grow by one third. It has grown so rapidly that sociologists have already coined a term for it -- the “gray divorce revolution.”

But Gray Divorce is not a neutral event for adult children. As the divorce rate for older adults soars, so too does the number of adult children who are experiencing parental divorce. Yet, these adult children frequently say that they are the only ones who are aware of what they are going through and that they feel painfully alone.

In this episode we speak with Carol Hughes PhD, LMFT and Bruce Fredenburg MS, LMFT, two veteran marriage and family therapists and authors of Home Will Never Be The Same Again - a valuable and much needed resource for this forgotten group. Carol and Bruce offer advice on setting boundaries, creating new family rituals, navigating holidays, and adopting healthy communication strategies that will help both adult children and their older parents handle the effects of gray divorce.
