Thank you, that’s a spot on! I’m over 30, and struggling to deal with my parents’ divorce. I don’t know how to navigate future holidays, vacations, family get togethers with my spouse’s family… I want both of my parents to be happy in their lives. There was betreyal in their marriage, and I try to be neutral to their feud. I question the meaning of family and all my childhood memories. It’s hard.
After 27 years my health began to go bad suddenly when the emotional abuse became more than I could bare ( 6 months after our son moved out at 24 years old). As devastating as it is for everyone. I’m sure my death would have been worse than the divorce. My doctor literally told me that she could not give me blood pressure medicine but that the distress I had every day was so strong that she was afraid I was going to get a heart attack from high blood pressure.After years of research I can’t deny that my soon to be ex is extremely controlling and manipulative and may have antisocial/NPD
I've noticed a few times in the episode how a children who go through their parents' divorce at a young age under 18 is less challenging than "gray divorce" for adult children. I would LOVE to see the researched based evidence to back up that claim...
I agree that you can't make the parents understand how to talk or help their adult children. It is sad, my 54 yr old sister cheated and divorced and her adult sons are having a hard time because they feel lied to by their Mom
Oh my gosh I’m here because of a similar situation!! My sister is 50 and cheated and married her affair partner. I’m really struggling to understand this! I also love my nieces and nephews and have tried to be there for them and I’m struggling to give them guidance on what to do when they don’t want anything to do with the new husband, and I can’t blame them!
My parents had 9 children, every one of them breathed a sigh of relief when my Mother decided to separate and divorce. On my part, I could visit my Father, something I hadn’t done for years, because my Mother would be there.

Thank you for this
My adult children’s future was my first concern . His was money to spend .

Children or adult children of divorce have human rights...I think we should spend alot more time on that absolute truth.

Except in domestic violence
