I’ve been invited to appear on Get Your Justice Live, hosted by Lary Holland on April 1 at 8:00 p.m. EDT. We’ll talk about parental alienation and our new book, A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation. Lary assures me my invitation isn’t part of an April Fools prank.
Get Your Justice is an interactive internet talk radio show that focuses on educating the general public and taking action to reform and inform the various levels of government on many key issues.
I’ve done TalkShoe events in the past and these programs are great opportunities to share information, perspectives and ideas on topics that have touched us all. If you are a targeted parent, join us on April 1 and you’ll quickly discover that you are not alone. There are many people who have gone through, and are going through, exactly what you have experienced. All are standing by to offer support and a suggestion or two.

Hi Mark:
Thanks for listening to the show.
Dr. Rand wasn’t kidding. Alienated parents often look to reintegration programs as some sort of magic bullet to help them reconnect with their children. But without court orders and real consequence for violating the court orders, these programs won’t have any more success than the parents had on their own.
In fact, if courts enforced orders for parenting time, free and easy access and counseling, many cases of parental alienation might not even reach the severe levels that reintegration specialists are forced to address.
By the way…
Another big topic on the show last night was “Move Aways” — when one parent moves the child to another city, state or even country and makes contact between the left-behind parent and the child more difficult.
For an alienating parent, a Move Away is just another tool in the arsenal — another way to damage or destroy the child’s relationship with the other parent. But Move Aways also occur in divorcing families where parental alienation doesn’t exist. Parents who truly and sincerely facilitate a good relationship between the child and the child’s other parent still might have to relocate for a job or other valid reason. What does the left-behind parent do in these situations?
As we discussed on the show last night, the parent does the best he or she can. Emails, webcams, phone calls, frequent visits and honest efforts on the part of both parents to make the best of a difficult situation is all anyone can expect. These situations are far from ideal for maintaining a close parent-child bond, but as long as both parents are working together in the best interests of the child a Move Away isn’t parental alienation.
