In this episode, Kreed explores the profound impact of divorce on children and adult children, emphasizing that estrangement is often a complex issue influenced by various factors beyond the divorce itself. Kreed discusses how children process their emotions during and after a divorce, the long-term effects on adult children, and the importance of acknowledging and validating their experiences. The conversation highlights the need for parents to reflect on their own emotional availability during the divorce and to approach their children's feelings with compassion and understanding.

* Divorce is rarely the sole reason for estrangement; it's often part of a larger puzzle.

* Young and adult children don't always articulate their pain, leading to misunderstandings.

* Adult children may revisit their parents' divorce with a different perspective later in life.

* Parenthood does not automatically lead to understanding of past parental choices.

* Children may develop coping mechanisms to regain a sense of control after a divorce.
