When parents need to address old family trauma with adult children

My adult kids and I have never really processed my divorce from their father ten years ago - they were teenagers then and just coped however they could, and now I'm dating someone new and I can see all this old hurt and confusion surfacing but nobody knows how to talk about it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The things we thought we protected our children from by not talking about them often become the very things that need talking about when they're strong enough to handle the conversation.
