Communication in Divorced Families with Adult Children: A Literature Review

The importance of communication among co-parents, individual parents, and adult children cannot be overemphasized. There is a need for all family members to adjust regarding divorce, but adult children may find it particularly difficult. However, a positive connection with the parents may help immensely. A child’s capacity for healthy adjustment and coping can be significantly impacted by even having a positive relationship with one of their parents. Open and honest communication is essential to the adult children’s good connection. To avoid oversharing and the kid feeling torn between, parents should avoid using their adult children as a vent for their worries and frustrations. The co-parenting relationship’s characteristics are one factor that affects how well children adjust. The stress that adult children endure can be minimized and a positive relationship model for adult children can be created if the co-parents can keep a solid rapport and communicate well with one another. A healthy relationship between the children, the custodial and non-custodial parent should be tried in addition to mending the rift between ex-partners.
