When Social Media is Used as a Weapon

from Deadbeat Dad by Design — Supporting fathers through the fight of their lives. · host Rachel Kay

This episode doesn’t tiptoe. We’re calling out the parents who use social media to shame, manipulate, and publicly destroy the other parent—then call it “healing” or “speaking their truth.” Using social media as a weapon isn’t advocacy, it’s abuse, and kids pay the price. In Episode 4, we break down how this behavior fuels parental alienation, backfires in court, and leaves permanent damage long after the likes disappear.
