Major life events like divorce can deeply impact the mental health of Gen X, who often juggle careers, aging parents, and parenting. I’ve noticed that divorce at this stage can bring loneliness, financial stress, and identity struggles. Many feel they’re “too old to start over” yet too young to settle into emotional numbness. Without support, it can lead to anxiety or depression. Therapy, strong friendships, and rediscovering personal goals can help in healing.
