REPLAY: Parental Alienation - April 4, 2026

This meeting was a support session focused on parental alienation, where Charlie McCready, an expert coach on the topic, provided guidance to Jude, Chris, and Henry. Charlie shared his personal experience with 10 years of pre-alienation and 5 years of full alienation before rebuilding relationships with his children. The discussion covered strategies for handling alienation, including when to give space to children and the importance of not taking rejection personally. Chris shared his concerns about his 3.5-year-old son's environment at his ex-wife's house, particularly regarding screen time and boundaries, while Henry discussed his challenges in reconnecting with his 16-year-old daughter who is experiencing alienation. Charlie advised that Henry's approach of maintaining contact through occasional texts was appropriate and emphasized the importance of not making children feel trapped in the middle. The session concluded with Charlie promoting his subscription-based service called "The Sanctuary" which provides resources and support for alienated parents.
