The Invisible War Inside a Child's Mind
A father receives a letter from his 12-year-old daughter. It's written in careful cursive, each word deliberate: "I never want to see you again. You're a terrible person and you ruined our family." He recognizes the phrases-they're identical to what his ex-wife said during their last court hearing. His daughter didn't write this letter. She was simply the hand that held the pen. This is parental alienation, and it's happening in millions of homes right now. Twenty million American children are currently caught in this psychological crossfire, learning to hate a parent they once loved-not because of anything that parent did, but because the other parent has waged a quiet war for their minds.
