Understanding Parental Alienation: Signs, Strategies & Support
from Divorce with Sam and Leah · host Sam and Leah
In this episode, we dive into the difficult issue of parental alienation, where one parent tries to undermine the relationship between their child and the other parent. This can be emotionally taxing, especially when you notice sudden shifts in your child’s behavior or feel unjustly blamed. We’ll explore the signs of parental alienation, including when your child expresses negative feelings toward you without cause or when false claims are made to disrupt your bond. We also discuss the damaging effects of loyalty conflicts, where children are pressured to take sides. You’ll also learn how to handle these situations with resilience. We cover radical acceptance to cope with the reality of alienation, how to use effective communication by keeping detailed records, and how to maintain a stable environment for your child.
