Episode 10-When Parents Divorce: The Wounds That Follow Us Into Adulthood with Kent Darcie

In this special interview from NRB, Aliza Prokop sits down with Kent Darcie—author and founder of Adult Children of Divorce Ministries—to discuss the often-overlooked trauma people experience when their parents divorce, even later in life. Kent explains how a parent’s divorce can shape relationships well into adulthood, including the emotional “loyalty challenge” many feel between parents and the unique impact divorce can have on daughters. He also addresses the growing trend of “gray divorce” and why many adult sons and daughters carry emotional burdens that were never theirs to bear. Finally, Kent offers practical wisdom for couples preparing for marriage and explains how premarital counseling can help address wounds from parental divorce before they affect a new family.Resources: Hope4ADP—Adult Children of Divorce MinistriesPreparing to Say “I Do” When Parents Said “I Don’t” by Kent DarcieChoose a Better Path: Overcoming the Impact of Your Parents’ Divorce by Kent DarcieBetween Two Worlds: The Inner Lives of Children of Divorce by Elizabeth MarquardtAMP CounselingFollow Aliza on:FacebookInstagramTikTokLinkedInHashtags: #TheAMPcast #AlizaProkop #KentDarcie #Hope4ADP #DivorcedParents #Divorce #Trauma #Parenting #MentalHealth #Therapy #Counseling #Podcast #Podcasting #PodcastCommunity #PFCAudioVideo
