Parental Alienation is emotional abuse. This is about moving through your pain and healing from what is known as an ambiguous loss – [as the child] is still alive physically but you cannot get to them – yet they live on emotionally within you everyday.
Dr. Abraham Worenklein says:
It’s important the message of Parental Alienation gets out to the community.

Having a group such as Broken Ties and giving support to even one parent is worth it.

You are doing a wonderful Chesed by supporting each other
Dr. Richard Warshak (renown alienation expert):
Dear Ms. Weinfeld,
Thank you for your email and your invitation to speak with your group.
I would like to help. Unfortunately, for the next year or so I have to turn down such requests so that I can spend more time on my research and writing. My hope is to produce additional resources that will help alienated parents. So, for now, I hope you will let me take a rain check. I visited your website and see what excellent work you are doing. I fully expect to speak with your group in the future.
Also, I will keep you in mind if I have any pertinent announcements. For example, I may try to organize a Zoom presentation. If so, I will announce it on my website and Facebook page.
Regards,
Richard A. Warshak, Ph. D.
