Is it possible to get divorced without totally damaging your kids?
Yes! Totally possible! In fact, my parents divorced when I was nine years old, and all I felt was RELIEF.
It wasn’t my parents’ divorce that damaged me. It was the severe child psychological abu$e my mom put me through thereafter that damaged me long-term and caused the most pain in my life. And it often occurs during divorces.
This abu$e is known as parental alienation (where 1 parent manipulates their child to reject their other, loving parent.... without true justification). In this video, I review the 17 alienating strategies to avoid, based on Dr. Amy Baker's research, to help maintain healthy child-parent relationships post-divorce.
