Wonder what your kids are experiencing during the divorce process? What if you could ask adult children of divorce for advice?


Grace Casper became a child of divorce at the age of eight. By age 10, she had written the first draft of her book,  Dear Parents: Notes from a Child of Divorce by Grace Casper.


Today, Grace runs Divorce Tips from Kids, a platform dedicated to helping families navigate divorce, and hosts Divorce: What I Wish My Parents Knew, a podcast about divorce from the kids’ perspective.


On this episode of Divorce Dialogues, Grace joins Katherine to describe the pressure she felt to be the source of her parents’ happiness after their divorce.


Grace explains what inspired her to write about her parent’s divorce and how we can apply Grace’s story in Dear Parents to our own individual circumstances.
