Divorce can be tough at any age, but when it happens later in life, after your children have already left the nest, the emotional toll can often go unnoticed. As parents navigate their own grief, anger, and confusion, they may unintentionally overlook the significant impact their separation has on their adult children. 

Today we’re joined by Christina McGee, a leading divorce and parenting expert, to explore how divorce affects adult children and how parents can better support them during this life transition.

Christina, with over 25 years of experience, shares her deep insights into how parents can guide their grown children through the emotional turmoil of divorce, why adult children still need their parents (even if it doesn't seem like it), and how parents can navigate this difficult process with empathy and care.

Join the conversation and discover how to keep your family’s emotional foundation strong, no matter the changes.

Your Dare for the Week ❤️

 Dare you to change the conversation around divorce. Reframe this process as a change in your family, not the end of your family and be that guiding light for others.
