Rebecca shares the devastating moment when she lost contact with her daughter due to coercive control, which has left her child traumatized and struggling to rebuild trust.
2️⃣ The Impact of Coercive Control:
⚠️ Children subjected to alienation often develop severe trauma, such as Rebecca’s daughter, who suffers from a functional neurological disorder caused by manipulation and emotional abuse.
3️⃣ Systemic Failures:
🛑 Legal and child protection systems often fail to act in the child’s best interests, leaving alienated parents like Rebecca without the tools to protect their children.
4️⃣ Generational Trauma:
🧠 Parental alienation doesn’t just harm the present—it creates lasting emotional damage that can affect relationships, self-worth, and mental health for generations.

🚨 Act Quickly:
Legal protections like court orders can prevent alienation. Delays give the alienating parent more time to manipulate and isolate.
🧠 Parental Alienation = Psychological Abuse:
Studies show the long-term impact of alienation on children is comparable to—or worse than—physical abuse.
📢 Advocacy is Powerful:
Rebecca’s story highlights the need for legislative change and greater education among judges, lawyers, educators, and mental health professionals.
💖 Self-Care is Critical:
