Parenting Through the Divide – Understanding, Healing, and Reconnecting After Parental Alienation

A compassionate, steadying guide for parents who have been pushed to the margins of their child’s life—not by absence or neglect, but by emotional manipulation, unresolved pain, or high-conflict separation.

When your child turns away—and you don’t know why—this book is for you.

You haven’t failed.
You haven’t imagined it.
And you’re not alone.

Parenting Through the Divide is a compassionate, research-informed guide for parents facing the silent heartbreak of parental alienation—when a child begins to reject you without clear reason, often after divorce or during high-conflict separation. It speaks to those who feel erased, blamed, or emotionally cut off, even after years of deep love and presence.

Written with warmth, clarity, and psychological depth, this book offers more than understanding—it offers a way forward. You’ll learn how to recognize the signs, regulate your emotions, and rebuild trust—even when connection feels impossibly far away.

💬 Inside this book, you’ll find:

• ✅ A clear explanation of parental alienation vs. estrangement
• ✅ Psychological insights from attachment theory, trauma recovery, and family systems
• ✅ Practical tools to stay grounded, respond with calm, and protect your emotional health
• ✅ Age-appropriate scripts to use when communication breaks down
• ✅ Reflection prompts and letters to help you process grief and stay open
• ✅ Guidance for parallel parenting, legal navigation, and boundary-setting
• ✅ Real voices from parents and adult children who’ve lived through it

Whether your child is distant, cold, or completely cut off, Parenting Through the Divide offers emotional clarity and gentle strength for the road ahead. It doesn’t promise a quick fix—but it does remind you: you are still their parent. And one day, that truth may be the bridge they choose to cross back to you.
