Our current approach to divorce and family separation causes harm in so many ways. Its one of the leading contributors to Adverse Childhood Experiences, with all their harmful, lifetime consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Wishes aims to remove the stigma of divorce and family separation and to change current systems that incentivise harm to children, and even weaponise children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget the idea that “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”! In her groundbreaking book, award-winning journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa shows the link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), such as childhood exposure to parents’ divorce or separation, and adult illnesses such as heart disease, auto-immune disease, and cancer. Childhood Disrupted also explains how to cope with these emotional traumas and even heal from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the book’s subtitle suggests, “your biography becomes your biology”; the emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults, it also affects our physical health, longevity, and overall wellbeing. Scientists now know on a bio-chemical level exactly how parents\u2019 chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied, or growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic or mentally ill parent can leave permanent, physical \u201cfingerprints\u201d on our brains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two Wishes is campaigning to change our focus on families, and our approach to family separation, from harmful, too-late legal interventions to much earlier, health-focused solutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
