It starts subtly.
Your ex paints themselves as the "protective parent" while casting doubt on your parenting abilities.
Suddenly, you're defending yourself against accusations that seem to come out of nowhere, and worse - your children are starting to believe the narrative.
If you're watching your relationship with your children change while feeling powerless to stop it, you're not alone.
Many parents face this heart breaking situation, but here's what most don't realise: these aren't random acts - they're often part of a calculated pattern of high-conflict behaviour.
Our High Conflict Personality Test was developed specifically to help parents like you:
- Identify manipulation tactics being used against you
- Understand how high-conflict personalities operate in custody battles
- Recognise early warning signs of parental alienation
- Learn proven strategies to maintain your parent-child bond
When you complete the assessment, you'll receive our invaluable guide:
"5 Steps to Handle High-Conflict Exes in Court" FREE. This resource gives you:
- Documentation strategies that hold up in court
- Communication techniques that protect you legally
- Methods to maintain healthy boundaries
- Ways to support your children through the conflict
Don't wait until the damage to your parent-child relationship becomes harder to repair.
Knowledge is your strongest defence, and understanding what you're dealing with is the first step toward protecting your family.
Take the quiz now and arm yourself with the insights you need to fight back effectively.

Narcissist give attention conditionally to ensure compliance and control. Children learn very quickly that in order to get the attention they need, they have to jump through whatever hoops the narcissistic parent lays out. What this teaches the child is that their own wishes and feelings are not important and in order to get love (attention), they must serve others at their own expense. This can create abuse cycles for them in their adult life and leave them at the mercy of predators who will exploit them to meet their own needs, including bullies.

"I finally feel strong enough to handle whatever comes next." – Claire Cox
Family court strength isn't about fighting harder—it's about fighting smarter.
Our Court Prep Toolkit helps you develop resilience and strategic thinking to counter manipulation and protect your rights.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PTSD/cPTSD 🤕
Following Monday's post about the different modalities of trauma, I wanted to look at the different treatment options for each so that you can make an informed choice about what treatment option suits you.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy deals with the cognitive and behavioural aspects of trauma. The goal is to reframe one’s thoughts in a more rational direction or at least to become aware of one’s ability to dismiss thought
EMDR and REWIND treatments involve exposure, either flooding or gradual exposure. Frequently, this process itself can be traumatizing if the therapist or client is uncomfortable with strong emotion.
Systemtic Family Therapy aims to shift the relationship in a healthy direction, away from an unhealthy attachment or entanglement. Of course, the therapist’s interaction with the client is imperative also. this is the recommended treatment model for parental alienation.
Meditation and Yoga is recommended to to calm the amygdala and allow the hippocampus to record the event as finished and is a neuroscience treatment model.
Magnesium can help to restore the chemical imbalances and lower elevated levels of cortisol, glutamate, adrenalin; lower levels of GABA and serotonin.
Massage and movement (yoga) can help remove muscle tension associated with the body holding onto trauma. Trauma can become "stuck" and cause aches and pains which physical therapy can help resolve.
Connecting to source can help to detach from the ego aspect of trauma.
Soul retrieval involves the shaman reportedly traveling to under or upper worlds to es**rt the soul back to the body.
Reiki, Tapping and Energy Healing can help the energy to flow throughout the body and release blockages, restoring your body to it's natural state.
I personally would recommend treatment PTSD/cPTSD at every level for a hollistic approach.
