In a new documentary, Split, San Francisco veteran filmaker Ellen Bruno gets kids to talk about their feelings and experiences from their parents' divorce, with the goal of helping children of divorce. Having gone through two divorces (her parent's divorce, and her own divorce), Bruno feels strongly that children of divorce can benefit from watching other kids talk about some of the same things they are probably going through.According to the Marin Independent Journal, Bruno says, ."I know from my own experience and I also know from my kids' experience, when things aren't talked about, kids have wild imaginations and they imagine the worst. They become the monsters under the bed. Bringing these conversations out in the open is a huge relief for kids.."It's quite moving to watch a young boy and girl in the video talk about how crying, and even screaming, can help cope with the difficult feelings divorce brings up.Gwen Gordon, who lives in Farifax, in Marin County, California, helped Bruno with the project. Bruno included art work done by some of the children she interviewed, and Gordon added animation to the art to emphasize what the kids are saying. Gordon also created an activity book for children of divorce.Although the film is for and by kids, it's important that adults watch the film as well, to understand the importance of getting kids to talk about what they feel about their parents' divorce. As in many other difficult situations in life, talking about your feelings can be very healing.As is often the case when there are children of divorce in the Golden State, support can be an issue parents need to deal with.
