By Bruce R. Fredenburg and Carol R. Hughes

Book Overview

Adult children are often overlooked and forgotten when their parents divorce later in life, but in these pages they will find insight and understanding for the many feelings, frustrations, and challenges they face.

For more than two decades, a silent revolution has been occurring and creating a seismic shift in families around the world: more couples are divorcing later in life. Called the "gray divorce revolution," the cultural phenomenon describes couples who divorce after the age of 50. Too often overlooked in the issues are the adult children of divorcing parents.

In Home Will Never Be the Same: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce, Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg share the deep understanding they have gained during innumerable hours spent with these women and men in their clinical practices. Their voices open this book. Some of them are single, some are married, some have children of their own. All of them are in different stages of shock, fear, and sudden, dramatic change. Their stories, combined with the authors' expert insight, result is a valuable resource for adults whose parents divorce later in life.

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, no one understands what they are experiencing, and they feel painfully alone. With Home Will Never Be the Same, no one needs to feel alone in their experience ever again.
