When a child pulls away, the pain is unlike anything else—and too many parents are left confused, blamed, and alone. I wrote Parenting the Alienated Child for mothers and fathers who are desperate to protect what remains of their relationship and prevent further loss. Drawing on decades of clinical work with high-conflict families, this book offers clarity, compassion, and practical guidance to help parents respond wisely, reduce harm, and keep the door open to reconnection—even when the situation feels impossible. 💔➡️❤️

Over the years, many of the targeted parents I've worked with have agreed to supervised visits just to stay in their children's lives.

I understand why.

But after seeing how these arrangements actually play out — I have serious questions about whether supervised visitation helps or makes the alienation worse.

My new article goes there.

Fair warning: it's not going to sit well with the status quo.

You finally have your child back — court-ordered time you fought so hard for.
Yet they walk in hostile, defiant, maybe even refusing to be in the same room.
This disorienting moment is far more common than most realize.
Before anything else — de-escalation. Not discipline. Not confrontation.
Just de-escalation.
If you’re unsure where to begin, you’re not alone. There are real, evidence-based steps that help.

The family court process can leave targeted parents feeling profoundly betrayed, unheard, and without recourse.

Your frustration and sense of injustice are entirely understandable given the challenges you have faced.

Even in the most difficult circumstances, evidence-based guidance and steady support can open a realistic path toward reconnection and renewed hope. 💙 ; Parental Alienation Awareness Another Parents Battle Parental Alienation Awareness of America Interference with Child Custody Coalition - IC³ The Anti-Alienation Project

Your child comes home and says: "Dad says you don't even care about me."

Your stomach drops. Your instinct is to defend yourself. Or maybe you go quiet because you don't want to make it worse.

Both of those responses have costs.

There is a third option — one that gently corrects the false narrative without attacking the other parent, without putting your child in the middle, and without leaving a lie standing unchallenged.

I've been working with targeted parents for 25 years. I put this approach into a free guide called "Mommy Is Mistaken" — and I want you to have it.

It includes:
✔ The core technique, explained step by step
✔ Word-for-word scripts for the most common accusations
✔ What NOT to say (and what to say instead)
✔ How to adapt the language for every age, from 5 to adult
✔ Why this approach keeps you within your state's Children's Bill of Rights

This is not theory. These are the actual words for the actual moments.
