If there is something all parents want during the divorce process, it's for their children to not experience adversity or have to struggle in any way. But unfortunately, this isn't the reality for so many children as we discuss on this episode of Moms Moving On, with our guest Elle Barr. Elle is on a mission to educate parents everyone on the effects of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and we have an in-depth chat on how to prevent ACEs from dominating your child's life during the divorce process.
