Political Alienation: The Divorce We’re All Living Through

In this episode, I explore the connection between parental alienation and the political climate we’re all drowning in.Growing up between two hostile parents taught me the nervous system of a divided nation long before cable news existed. Loyalty tests, narrative control, manufactured fear — these weren’t political concepts. They were my childhood.Now, I see the same dynamics everywhere: in media, in activism, in friendships, in the gym with two TVs playing two different realities.This is a video-essay about political homelessness, emotional survival, and what happens when a country becomes a child of divorce.Topics include:• emotional manipulation in families and politics• how media mirrors abusive parenting tactics• the nervous system of a divided nation• why outrage culture destroys trust• what “quiet connection” offers instead• how to heal the internal wound of alienationIf you grew up with parental alienation — or if our politics feel like one giant custody battle — this episode is for you.
