Childhood Experiences of Separation and Divorce: Reflections from Young Adults

Using a range of innovative, online participatory research methods, this book gives voiced to young adults’ childhood experience of parental separation and divorce. As they look back on their childhood, their views provide valuable insights into how children accommodate their parents’ separation over time. Drawing on the qualitative research findings, Kay-Flowers develops a new framework to enable academics and practitioners working with children and families to understand the ways in which young people experience and accommodate parental separation over time. The book examines implications for future practice and put forwards recommendations for improving support for children in the future.
