In this episode of About the Author, host Hannah Harris speaks with counselor, author, and ministry founder Kent Darcie about one of the most common—and least understood—effects of parental divorce: unresolved anger. Kent explains why anger is the primary emotional struggle for adults with divorced parents and how loss, loyalty conflicts, and unprocessed childhood experiences can quietly carry into adulthood.

Drawing from personal experience, research, and years of counseling work, Kent unpacks how anger can manifest as irritability, resentment, avoidance, or emotional outbursts, and how the “loyalty challenge” continues to affect adult relationships long after childhood. He also shares practical insight on recognizing the roots of anger, the importance of acknowledgment over denial, and healthy pathways toward healing through faith, self-awareness, and support. This conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope for adults seeking to understand their emotions and break long-standing patterns.
