Family Separation. Kids are separated from good, law abiding, American parents and others all over the world every day through "Family Court" systems. Can you imagine what it's like to NOT have the phone number, address, or email of your own children, and be blocked from all forms of social media? You can, if you are an alienated, erased, or amputated parent. Do you know what it's like to enter your own child's name into an internet search to satisfy your natural urge to know if they are dead or alive? Do you know what it's like to not be able to comfort your child in their struggles, or even know if they are having struggles? Do you know what it's like to not be able to say Happy Birthday or send a card or gift to them? You do if your child has been psychologically abused to hate, reject, mistrust, and fear you, and believe you are a threat and you deserve to be punished. Do you know what it's like for a young child to be ripped out of your life while only a toddler? Do you know what it's like when your children devote large portions of their time to making sure you don't find them to express your love or desire to be part of their lives? You do, if you have seen the normal, healthy, mutually loving bonds you once had, shattered and broken. Parental Alienation often includes bullying, domestic violence, and psychological abuse to sever normal parent/child bonds. The catastrophic results in children tormented this way can include teen pregnancy, depression, gang involvement, susceptibility to predators, eating disorders, and youth suicide. Immense feelings of helplessness overcome parents whose children have been enlisted in coalitions against them. After devoting their lives to trying to revers this tragedy, some parents who feel their lives have lost their meaning become withdrawn, passive and suicidal. To offer hope, the YouTube channel and Facebook Group were formed under the name "Parental Alienation Survival Coach" Both are making positive differences in the lives of broken-hearted people around the globe. Speak Worldwide 501c3, was also created to publish fact sheets, books, videos and other resources, with a mission of education, compassion and spiritual renewal. The eerily similar stories from thousands of crushed people all over the world have catalyzed my passion to write this book. Parental Alienation Survival Coach captures the feelings of shock, confusion and helplessness that parents experience as they are pushed out of their children's lives, and their desperate struggle for education to understand what's happening. Follow along on every alienated parent's journey from crushing heartbreak, to wellness, despite significant open wounds. Chapters alternate from sad, to funny, to inspirational, to hopeful and include healing, humor, heart, prayers, verses, self-care and my exclusive 6-step program!
