Families divided TV, i was disappointed with your intro suggesting victims should do a course with the Alienators but i assume you are referring to mild cases but for someone like myself, this is the last thing i would want to do or put my children through. Dr Mandy Matthewson has given a clear and accurate account of the problem and i fully understand each aspect of her findings and have experienced this insidious crime and am in fact fighting this personality disorder and trying to help my children. i did not hear Mandy report that this is a sign a parent has a possible personality disorder or give a view that this would be extremely easy to prevent in family court but that i assume she feels is not in her remit but i believe it should be and sitting on the fence should no longer be an option. Thank you for the video and keep pushing forward to spread awareness of this totally devastating crime.

I sat through a voluntary meeting with the Alienator and his co-conspirator, his new wife in the 90's. It was part of the child custody court psych eval. I knew exactly what I was agreeing to. It was my regular life. I barely got a word in edge-wise. The two of them were hysterical the entire time over how I did everything, including breathing if I recall correctly. LOL.At the end of the session, after the couple had left, the Psych MD said to me, "People hide behind lots of other things to make them seem more powerful". My ex and his sidekick were "born-agains" with quite the toxic attitude and mouths. I felt heartbroken for my children. Religion became one more thing I could not discuss with my vulnerable, confused children. It can be a useful tool in tough times imho. But not when it's being used for dark purposes, like destroying a beautiful family.

Diagnosed by Dr Richard Gardener in 1995 James by cluster bombing family Dr G told me then family bombing us the worse & it was. I know that only God can fix this. It's important for me to stop another child & parents from going through this! Dr. Matthewson's first case study published 09/2022 was I needed to get my fire back! I can't sleep I can't eat until I let people know & I've been to broken to talk about it...I'm not now. & that came from God. I know exactly what your feeling...I go from being so angry that they did this to my babies to crying like mad woman daily...I'm learning 🙏 ❤️

This is a struggle, getting professionals (therapists, mediators, judges, case managers) to understand this is very difficult. They can decide the targeted parent is the alienator, and when they do, there's literally nothing you can do to change that or to see your child. Plus, they will make targeted parents have supervised visits and even if those are successful, if the child still believes you abused them you are back in family therapy with no time to see your child.

Huge struggle, there is no money in it for the attorney’s and they don’t want to talk about it. Just my experience. I saw what was happening to my daughter at age 13, I attempted to get help, now she is 21 and full estrangement. Emotionally, as the parent, I have never experienced mental anguish like this in my entire life. I am in acceptance mode now after 5 years of trying diligently and with kindness to remedy the situation. The “favored parent” won. It’s that simple.

In the study, did you also include the TOXIC grandparents?? I mean, society seems to have this rosy idea that grandparents are always loving, and caring, and wise, and nurturing, and oh so very very wonderful... when in FACT, a hugely significant number of grandparents are alienating their grandchildren, whether from ONE of the parents (the parent that's not related to them by blood)..... or even from BOTH of the children's parents... So much more to say on that topic, but will leave it for now.

The difficulty is finding qualified and insightful professionals to work with the children, awareness and skills not there, and they are not receptive to you sharing information to help their practice. Child loses.
