[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][It is a profound loss and it is almost taboo to talk about it. You are not alone in your pain. Healing to know that now some now adult children of divorce are sharing their experience in this book. https://www.amazon.com/Primal-Loss-Now-Adult-Children-Divorce-ebook/dp/B071VY9HXC

This.  Our culture goes to great lengths to spare the feelings of divorced people, but it does everyone a disservice to deny the true impact.

How religious is the viewpoint of this book?  I looked at it and the author also wrote books with a Catholic background.]

The author is Catholic but the book is just a collection of experiences of people with different backgrounds that are adult children of divorce. There is in the Church now more awareness of the wounds of children of divorce. Many Catholics too divorce in USA so there is this emerging population of adults children of divorce looking for healing and for a chance to express their pain. [/quote]

What a unique viewpoint, a Catholic person speaks out about consequences of divorce  :roll:

Look, I am not trying minimize the emotions of people who feel pain when their parents divorce, but the reality is that it's very different for each person. I posted upthread about how my parents divorce worked out fine for all parties involved.

Siblings and I were fine when it happened and we are all happily married as adults and professionally successful.

It's not necessarily a big, traumatic, painful thing. If people feel traumatized and feel like reading books like this help them cope, then that's a great option for them. But it's wrong to imply that all kids experience loss and betrayal with divorce, it's just not true.  [/quote]
