What to Do If Your Narcissist Ex Is Turning Your Child Against You

Few things are more painful than watching your child pull away from you—especially when you suspect your narcissist ex is behind it. Parental alienation is a manipulative tactic narcissists use to erode your bond and gain control. But you’re not powerless.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Recognize the Signs If your child suddenly seems distant, angry, or refuses visitation, it may not be their idea. Document changes in behavior and any interference from your ex.

2. Stay Steady Continue showing up for your child. Never badmouth your ex or try to explain too much—your child needs security, not conflict.

3. Create a Record Use co-parenting apps like OurFamilyWizard to keep a log of violations, hostile messages, and emotional shifts. Courts respond to evidence.

4. Seek Legal and Therapeutic Help A judge can order therapy, appoint a Guardian ad Litem, or even modify custody. But your best move is to talk with a knowledgeable family law attorney first.

You're not alone—and you're not powerless. These simple, but informative and powerful guides that are strategic, legal, and provide sharp emotional tools that work. These guides are inexpensive, give you valuable knowledge, and peace of mind in addressing the issue you’re facing at a fraction of what it would cost to receive this same information from an in-person consultation with a professional.
