A child’s bond doesn’t shatter overnight—it frays through small cuts that often go unnoticed. We unpack the idea of “pre-alienation,” the early stage where one parent’s subtle comments, eye rolls, and quiet omissions make a child question the other parent’s love or competence. Using a clear infection-versus-disease analogy, we show how these patterns multiply over time and why the earliest moments are the best time to intervene.

Instead of numbing out, we show how to use ancient tools to build very modern resilience and model strength your kids can trust. Join our Signal Channel: https://shorturl.at/8y...
A thirteen-year-old can now decide who sees their records in many states, and too often that means dad gets locked out.

Some stories punch through the fog. Palmer’s does. He grew up inside a decade of high-conflict divorce, became the “targeted child” of severe alienation, and reached the edge of despair—then found a way back. Today he sits across from tweens and teens as a therapist, turning hard-won insight into practical tools that help kids feel safe, seen, and strong even when the adults around them are at war. We dig into the subtle ways alienation teaches kids it’s unsafe to love both parents and the e...
