College Students with Divorcing Parents


I am an adult child of divorce.My parents recently divorced last year, and it still affects me today.I did this project for my Time/Sound class at my University. It's purpose is to raise awareness that Adults (College Students, in this video), have trouble with their parents divorcing as much as young children & teenagers do, even though it is a little different.-----Join AdultChildrenOfDivorce.com's Facebook Support Group---- http://www.adultchildrenofdivo... http://www.facebook.com/AdultC... http://www.twitter.com/ACODivo...

My parents are in the middle of a divorce right now. My husband and I are about to have our first child, and it feels like we're not getting the sort of support we need emotionally... I can't tell you how sick I am of hearing the term "you're an adult, buck up" or, "you're an adult now, so you should know about all the dirty laundry". I don't want to hear it. I just want my parents, wether their together or apart...

@TheSilverphoenix88 @beautifulmormon No, it's "not about us", per say. However,Adult Children of Divorce (ACODs) or College students with divorcing parents too often are assumed that because they are adults, they can handle it. Parents can "forget" that regardless of age, ACODs are STILL their children.I made this video because the demographic(18+ when parents divorced)is very much overlooked.I also recently made a website and facebook support group for ACODs. Links are in the description.

@TheSilverphoenix88 when you are the only child - who was about to get married her self.. pretty sure it can seem to be alot about you.
