In “Life Quakes”, a dad is facing the devastating pain of parental alienation. His ex-partner is actively turning their children against him, and he’s terrified of losing his bond with them. Hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest Dr. Jude Black offers advice.
Consistency is Key
Keep showing up and proving your love, even if it feels hopeless right now.
Never Trash-Talk
Resist the urge to badmouth your ex to the kids, no matter how tempting it is. This will only backfire.
Know When to Seek Help
Sometimes, the situation may require legal intervention or stepping back to protect your children’s wellbeing until they are old enough to understand.
