If your kids are pulling away — going quiet, keeping score, repeating things that clearly didn't come from them — you're not imagining it.

Parental alienation is the one piece of divorce damage that doesn't end when the paperwork does. It follows your kids into adulthood, into how they handle conflict, into every relationship they build after this. And the hard truth is that the courts aren't coming to fix it.

But there's more in your hands than you think.

In this episode:

- The signs I see in my clients' kids constantly — the messenger, the little reporter, the teenager who suddenly has nothing to say to you — and how they show up differently at every age

- Why the courts rarely step in, and the one rule I give every client about what she puts in writing

- Five things you can start doing today to be the anchor your kids need — and why the most important one has nothing to do with your ex

Somewhere down the road, your child may ask you about this time. I want you to like the answer you have for them.
