More than 60 percent of the parents reported having at least one adult child with a problem, and 34 percent reported that all their adult children had at least one problem. Two types of problems were examined in the study: physical-emotional problems (physical and mental health problems and developmental disabilities) and lifestyle-behavioral problems (financial trouble, drug and alcohol abuse, trouble with the law and serious relationship trouble, such as divorce).

Moment for Parents:

One of the greatest traumas imaginable is when parents must deal with the separation of a child. Mostly by divorce or the state legislature. Producing greater stress than dealing with the relationship-loss of a parent or spouse, a child’s absence is especially traumatic because it is often unexpected; it is also in violation of the "usual" order of things, in which the child is expected to "flock" away from the parent and start college: a profession, area of study or just their own household.

The new nuclear American home has moments of fear for parents. And for those that have been through it; you know. The trauma associated with losing a child, whether to violence, disease, state custody or divorce, can certainly lead to devastating physical and mental health issues. In dealing with this loss, it is increasingly important to recognize the impact it can have on health and overall quality of life. [got a promo code? Email Us.
