37. What Adult Children of Divorce Want You to Know with Lesa Ferguson and Donna Fletcher


Listen Later

In this emotional episode, three adults reflect on what it was really like to watch their parents' marriages fall apart as children—and how those early experiences still shape them today. From Lesa becoming a stand-in parent at age 12, to Jo escaping a violent home at four, to Donna leaving behind her life in the Philippines, their stories reveal the silent impact divorce has on kids. What hurt most wasn't the separation itself, but the lack of honest communication and emotional support. If you're navigating divorce with children, their insights offer a powerful reminder that how you show up now can shape your child's future for decades to come.

Key takeaways:

  • Children are more aware than parents often realize during divorce
  • Silence and confusion leave lasting emotional gaps
  • Open, age-appropriate communication can help prevent long-term damage
