Them Before Us #017 | What is Gray Divorce? A conversation with TBU's Katie Breckenridge
Listen now
Description
Katie Breckenridge has been involved with Them Before Us almost since its inception in 2018 and is a writer and scholar on the topics TBU covers. In today's episode, Jenn and Katie talk about "gray divorce" and some of the effects of it on adult children. "As the phenomenon known as “gray divorce,” or divorce over the age of 50, increases (34.9 percent of all divorces in the U.S. in 2020 were among those aged 55 or older), we are learning that the effects of divorce are not unique to young children. The instability, confusion, and questions of parental loyalty don’t simply disappear when one is an adult child of divorce. This is why when we allow victims of gray divorce to speak out, we learn that even adults don’t simply “get over” their parents’ separations." https://thembeforeus.com/the-effects-of-gray-divorce-on-adult-children/ https://thembeforeus.com/divorce-is-hardest-on-the-kids-even-when-theyre-all-grown-up/
