Summary:
For more than two decades, a silent revolution has been occurring and creating a seismic shift in the American
family
and families in other countries. It has been unfolding without much comment, and its effects are being felt across three to four generations: more couples are divorcing later in life. Called the "gray divorce revolution," the cultural phenomenon describes couples who divorce after the age of 50. Overlooked in the issues that affect couples divorcing later in in life are the
adult
children
of divorcing
parents
. Their voices open this book, and they are the voices of men and women, 18 to 50 years old. 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. Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg share their deep understanding gained during the innumerable hours they have spent with these women and men in their clinical practices. The result is a valuable resource for these too often forgotten
adult
children
, many of whom find that, whenever they express their feelings and experiences, the most important people in their lives frequently ignore and dismiss them. 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.
