Episode #8 - Parental Alienation: Behind the Curtain

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/12/16

Most people hear words like “parental alienation,” “abduction,” “custody,” and think they have some idea of what that means. But for alienated and left-behind parents, those words aren’t just ink on paper — they’re the doorway to a kind of pain that rewires your life from the inside out. In this Reflection, I’m pulling the curtain back on what that actually looks like. I’ll walk you through some of the moments that changed everything for me: the day I found out my children had been abducted o...

Episode #7 - Blended Families, Hidden Alienation

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/11/26

Blended-family alienation doesn’t always show up with shouting or drama. More often than not, it slips in quietly — weaving itself through the small cracks of a home long before anyone even realizes what’s happening. And by the time those emotional shifts start showing up in a child, the damage has already begun. In this Reflection, we step into that often unseen world — the world of subtle pressures, loyalty conflicts, and the emotional reshaping that kids experience when they’re caught in b...

Episode #6 - Stolen in Broad Daylight

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/11/11

In this episode of iWasErased: Reflections, I open up about one of the most difficult experiences of my life — the day my children were kidnapped overseas without warning. While I normally share Reflections about parental alienation, there is another side to my story that became something far more devastating: parental abduction. I share what happened, the warning signs I missed, and how it reshaped my faith in a system that was supposed to protect families but failed me and my children. You’...

Episode #5 - I Was There Again… Until I Wasn’t

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/11/03

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

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/10/29

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 2 - One Measured Step at a Time

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/10/20

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 3 - Who are the Alienators?

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/10/20

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

iWasErased: Reflections ·

2025/10/20

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...
