If your child starts avoiding you, rejecting your calls, or repeating adult language that sounds eerily like your ex—you may be facing parental alienation.

This isn’t just a rough patch. Parental alienation is emotional abuse that can cause long-term damage to your relationship with your child. It’s also a major red flag in court—if you know how to document and respond the right way.


What you need to do:

  • Document everything—calls, texts, missed visits, your child’s language

  • Don’t retaliate—emotional outbursts can be used against you

  • Stay present—even if your child resists, show up calmly and consistently

  • Use tools like parenting apps to track interactions with your ex

  • Get help—from a therapist, Guardian ad Litem, or an experienced attorney


Alienation often happens slowly, over time. Your job is to stay steady, calm, and proactive. Courts don’t want drama—they want proof, and they want to know which parent is willing to support the child’s relationship with both sides.
