A wonderfully written and illustrated book. The subject matter is raw to so many parents who've been pushed out of their children's lives, for no good reason at all, where solid bonds between a once much loved parent are destroyed by the parent with custody, purely by spite / jealousy. It's an hugely uncomfortable subject for many, but it needs to be discussed by us all. Children simply do not reject a good loving normal range parent after separation/divorce unless psychologically manipulated and coerced to do so, sadly it's the go to weapon for parents needing to punish the other parent, simply because the relationship failed. Reading this book will help you understand the causes, the treatments, what we can do to stop it, and help many thousands of future victims stay safe and balanced. This miserable situation which hurts so many children and parents, is discussed / explained in detail, it's beautifully written and helps us all understand this societal disgrace, which harms children intensely, leaves them deeply confused, hurt and disorientated, and can potentially damage their own life chances when they become adults themselves. This book is a MUST read for victims, professionals and the wider public. If you're a teacher, social worker, family court judge, CAFCASS worker, then this book should be in your hand, if we can all understand the dynamics of Parental Alienation, and act to stop it, so many children will thank you for helping them in future. We NEED to stop this child abuse now, for it very clearly is wanton child abuse. Save lives, understand it, help to stop it.
