What happens when the people trying to hurt you use your own children as their weapon?
Parental alienation is one of the most devastating experiences a parent can endure; it’s a loss that feels like your children are gone while they are still alive. In this episode, Dr. Marshack shares the raw and painful reality of her own divorce, where Howard’s smear campaign convinced her daughters that their mother was the enemy.
She recounts the chilling moment her daughter Phoebe returned to an abusive relationship, and how the alienator’s community reinforced the lies to keep her isolated.
You will learn why the harder you fight for the truth, the more children may pull away, and how to find the resilience to carry on. This is an episode for anyone needing to hear the truth: Your worth is not defined by their rejection.
