"My mom is divorced... her mom was divorced... and her mom was divorced.."
Every year thousands of adult children of divorce find themselves doing what they swore they would never do; getting a divorce, but a depth of research shows that there are issues that impact ACD's in such a way that they are more prone to divorce.
The Adult Children of Divorce teachings and seminar address fear, trust, anger, and other issues that uniquely impact adult children of divorce and can help ACD's break the divorce cycle as well as improving the satisfaction of other relationships in their lives.

Unfortunately by the time adult children of

seminar, they have already experienced
their own divorce. As a healing ministry

Laura Petherbridge, who has experienced a divorce and spoken and written on the rigors and challenges of step-parenting, has a ministry who’s goal is building bridges of hope for those who need encouragement and guidance in this and other areas. Laura is a featured expert on the DivorceCare DVD series and brings a wealth of knowledge to this area.

One of the great losses faced by adult children of divorce, even though they often don’t realize it, is their loss of regular exposure to their father’s love. While I don’t disagree with those who say that there are plenty of fathers who are home but absent, abusive, or unloving in other ways, we can’t lose sight of the reality that it is very difficult to get regular love from a dad who isn’t there.
