Parental Alienation: The Abuse They Pretend Doesn’t Exist

Hey everyone — today’s video isn’t one of our lighthearted ones. It’s about something deadly serious, something I lived through, and something happening quietly in homes and courtrooms every single day: Parental Alienation.

You’ve probably never seen it on the news. You won’t hear about it in mainstream media. In fact, a lot of people pretend it doesn’t exist at all. But it does — and it’s destroying families and traumatizing children for life.

Parental Alienation happens when one parent manipulates a child into rejecting, fearing, or cutting off the other parent, usually during or after a separation or divorce. It’s done with lies, guilt, emotional pressure, and subtle manipulation. The worst part? It’s often done under the guise of “protecting the child.”

I know this because it happened to me as a kid. And later, it happened again to me as a parent. I’ve seen firsthand how this insidious form of abuse can sever a child’s bond with a loving parent, leaving deep emotional scars that last a lifetime.

The saddest part is how easily people dismiss it. You’ll hear things like “That’s just a bitter parent making excuses,” or “If the kid doesn’t want to see them, there must be a good reason.” But these excuses allow abusers to continue hurting children while pretending they’re doing the right thing.

Parental Alienation isn’t junk science. It’s not a bitter ex’s excuse. It’s real, it’s happening, and it’s child abuse.

On this International Parental Alienation Awareness Day, I want to speak for every kid, parent, and family torn apart by this silent epidemic. If you’ve lived it, know you’re not alone. And if you’ve never heard of it — please watch, listen, and help break the silence.

Share your story. Speak up. The more of us who talk about this, the harder it’ll be for others to deny it.

⚠️ If you or someone you know has experienced parental alienation, drop your story in the comments. Let’s be loud together.
