The pathogen of “parental alienation” was born in childhood trauma long ago – in generations past. It is a trauma pathogen that is being passed from one generation to the next, lodged in a damaged set of information structures in the attachment system – the brain system that governs all aspects of love and bonding throughout the lifespan, including grief and loss.
The currently rejected parent is targeted by the pathogen to carry the immense psychological suffering and the complete helplessness of the trauma that was born in generations past. The suffering and helplessness of the trauma have come to you.
Your grief and sadness is unbearable. Your helplessness is complete. There is nothing you can do to escape the suffering. You can’t turn left, you can’t turn right, you can’t stay where you are. You are completely and totally helpless to escape the immense pain – the psychological trauma – of the loss of your beloved children.
This is the trauma pathogen. I see its structures. I know how it functions. It seeks to keep you alone. It seeks to make you powerless.
But no more. This trauma ends. You are not alone. You are not powerless. Look what one parent, Susan, did in Florida. Legislation to change the mandated child abuse reporting laws have been filed in Florida.
HB-1279: Child Psychological Abuse
SB-1432: Child Psychological Abuse
Look what an intrepid group of parents accomplished with a Petition to the APA – the APA is forming a Working Group to examine their position statement on “parental alienation.”
You are more powerful than you know.
In this vein, I want to again highlight something every targeted parent can do that will be immensely helpful in bringing this family nightmare to an end for all children and all families, the documentary Erasing Family needs to be made – it needs to be completed – it needs your help.
The Documentary Erasing Family
The meme of the Erased Family – Erased Mom – Erased Dad – Erased Grandparent – Erased Cousin – Erased Sibling is exceptionally captivating.
The voices of the recovered children in the documentary are powerful – speaking for all of the children who remain trapped and silent.
The voice of Tamra Judge is authentic and captivating. The truth is evident in her courage and her pain.
This documentary is currently filming. I’ve seen some rough cuts. They’re good. This documentary needs to get made – and it needs your help.
You may be powerless with the court. You may be powerless with mental health. But you are NOT powerless. You have voice – your authentic voice – you have truth.
The documentary Erasing Family will carry your voice and the voice of your children. The documentary Erasing Family will speak truth – your truth and the truth of your children. This documentary needs to be made, and it needs your help.
I urge you to go to their website and contribute what you can – $50 – $100 – $200. Imagine if one hundred people contribute $100 – that’s ten thousand dollars. That’s important. If one thousand parents contribute $100 – do the math. You are not helpless – you are not powerless. Come together – join together – become an unstoppable force for change.
Legislation in Florida – a working group at the APA – the documentary Erasing Family. The winds of change are coming. The time is now. Stand up and let your voices be heard. This ends – this nightmare ends.
The winds of change are coming. I can feel the universe shifting. The documentary Erasing Family is part of that change – it is your voice and the voice of your children. It is the voice of your truth. The time is now.
You are not alone. I urge you to go to the Erasing Family website and contribute what you can – even if it’s only $25 – but try to squeeze $100 – maybe $200 if you can. If a thousand parents do that, do the math.
If I were you, I’d donate $100 and email them your picture – Erased Mom – Erased Dad – Erased Grandmother… Thousands and thousands of pictures.
Come together, join together. Together, your voices become an unstoppable force for change.

Dr. Craig Childress: Attachment Based "Parental Alienation" (AB-PA) 
There is one other important effort that I know of that is in need of our support. It is a nationwide poll by Dr. Jennifer Harmon, co-author of “Parents Acting Badly”. She and her research group are only $1109 away from their goal. They want us to have some concrete numbers for how prevalent “parental alienation” is in the United States. The results will be published in a peer reviewed journal.
