On this powerful episode of Powered Up Talk Radio, hosts Sandra Beck and Linda Franklin welcome Dr. Carol Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg, co-authors of Home Will Never Be the Same Again: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce.

With high-profile splits like Bill and Melinda Gates making headlines, many are starting to ask the deeper questions: What happens to grown children when their family dynamic suddenly shifts? Do they feel betrayed? Relieved? Torn between loyalty and understanding? The answers may surprise you. Dr. Hughes and Bruce Fredenburg draw from decades of experience in family therapy and divorce mediation, offering compassionate insight and practical advice for families navigating this complex transition. Whether you're a parent considering divorce later in life or an adult child caught in the crossfire, this episode sheds light on the hidden ripple effects and offers tools to move forward with clarity and grace.
