We always talk about the alienated child and parent… but what about the aftermath?
When the child starts asking questions, says they don’t want to talk, or even seems to dislike the other parent… what do you tell them? Imagine trying to show up with love to a child they’ve been taught their whole life to hate you. Imagine how difficult that is.
The lies are falling apart, and now the parent has to guide a child through anger, confusion, and mistrust while helping them see the truth without breaking them further.
Parental alienation doesn’t end with the lies. It lingers in doubt, in fear, in trust that must be rebuilt. And the hardest part? Helping a child find the truth while holding them through the hurt they didn’t ask for.
