In this episode, I talk about those unexpected moments when a memory suddenly comes to life—when, for just a few seconds, the past and present seem to merge into one. It’s not really about grief in the usual sense—it’s about that quiet pull that catches you off guard and reminds you that love never really disappears. Instead, it just changes form. For parents who’ve lived through alienation, those moments can bring both comfort and pain. One minute, you can almost feel your child beside you a...

Episode 4 - The Search for Somewhere Else

In this episode, I talk about that deep, quiet urge to start over — to find somewhere else when the place you are no longer feels like home. For many alienated parents, that search isn’t just about geography; it’s about peace. After years of fighting, explaining, and being dismissed, sometimes the only way forward is to step away and breathe somewhere new. I share what that search has looked like for me — not as an escape, but as a form of survival. Because when everything familiar becomes a ...

Episode 3 - Who are the Alienators?

In this episode, I take an honest look at a question many of us ask but rarely get answered — who are the alienators? I talk about what I’ve seen over the years: how they present themselves, how they manipulate, and why they’re often believed. Alienators don’t always look like villains. Sometimes they appear calm, composed, even caring — until you see what happens behind closed doors. I’m not here to diagnose or label; I’m here to expose the patterns that tear families apart and to help other...

Episode 2 - One Measured Step at a Time

In this episode, I talk about what it really means to keep moving forward when everything in you wants to stop. For parents living through alienation, progress rarely happens in leaps — it happens one measured step at a time. I share how I learned to slow down, to breathe, and to rebuild my footing after every emotional hit. Some days, the only step I could take was getting out of bed; other days, it was speaking the truth out loud, even when no one seemed to hear it. Healing isn’t a race. It...

Episode #1 - Why I'm Here, Why This Matters

In this first episode of iWasErased: Reflections, I open up about why I started this podcast — and why I believe staying silent about parental alienation is no longer an option. I talk about how my own experience as an alienated parent and grandparent shaped not just what I write, but how I live. The isolation, the disbelief, the long fight for truth — all of it led me here. This isn’t about reliving pain; it’s about giving it purpose. It’s the beginning of something I wish had existed when I...
