Healthy Co-Parenting Book for Children

Author’s Note I grew up without my father. My mother believed I shouldn’t know, and I accepted it, because I had no alternative. I had no other parent besides my mother, and if I wanted a relationship with her I knew I needed to give up wanting one with him. I did not know him. I did not know his name.

The Double Standard No One Wants to Admit: Why Family Courts Protect a Child’s “Lifestyle” But Not Their Relationship With a Parent. For decades, family courts have justified massive child-support orders with a single argument: “A child should not experience two different standards of living when their parents separate.” It sounds noble. It sounds protective. And financially, courts enforce it with an iron fist. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: Family courts fiercely prote

I’m reaching out to share something I believe can make a meaningful difference in the lives of teens who have grown up caught between two parents, two stories, and two emotional worlds. After years of witnessing parental alienation up close, both personally and through the families I’ve worked with, I’ve
