Save Your Sanity - Help for Toxic Relationships

The Fastest Ways to Counteract Parental Alienation GUEST: Joseph Goldberg

Ep. 158
•

When you realized your divorce was going to be difficult, I'll bet you worried about your ex talking badly about you to the children, trying to win them over. Did you?

Did you worry about the children being lied to about you?

Did you ex tell the children s/he was the better parent, the one who gave them more, etc.?

This leads to Parental Alienation.


Here's part of the definition of Parental Alienation Syndrome from the American Psychological Association:


" ...a child's experience of being manipulated by one parent to turn against the other (targeted) parent and resist contact with him or her. The alignment with one parent and rejection of the other most often arises during child custody disputes following divorce or separation proceedings, particularly when the litigation is prolonged or involves significant antagonism between the parties."


It's a significant concern when you are separating or divorcing from a #Hijackal, a relentlessly difficult, toxic person.


Joe Goldberg offers invaluable insights into parental alienation that you need to see clearly. Listen in.


Big hugs,

Rhoberta
