Parental Divorce – A Mental Crisis for Children

In the US and other countries, divorces among parents over 50 are increasing. This process, called a “grey divorce,” also affects adult children.

Research shows that parental divorce brings profound changes to children’s lives. They may feel a loss of stability and a need to support their parents.

Women often bear more emotional and social support, while men may lose social connections and have less contact with their children. This puts them at risk of loneliness and isolation.

Experts recommend support groups and counseling for children to help them navigate the divorce process more easily and stabilize family relationships.
