Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Fellow Advocates, My name is Nicole Anderson, and I own Parental Alienation Resource, a resource I created for victims of parental alienation. 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

If you’ve ever felt like your family court case reads more like a small-town soap opera than a legal proceeding, you’re not imagining it. Family court isn’t just a system, it’s a network, and that network protects itself. Welcome to Conflict Soup: Family Court Style, where everyone knows everyone else, everyone owes someone else, and your child is just the garnish floating on top. Let’s break down one of the most common, and most corrupt, patterns we see across the country.

WHY PARENTS CAN FEEL SAFE GIVING THIS BOOK TO THEIR CHILD, EVEN IN A HIGH-CONFLICT RELATIONSHIP OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A COURT CASE. If you’re a parent who feels helpless watching your child struggle with emotions they can’t fully explain, this book was written with you in mind. Are My Feelings About My Other Parent Really Mine? Is not a book about parents. It’s not about blame. It’s not about the court case. And it’s definitely not about choosing sides. It is about your child’s

SECTION 1. TITLE This act shall be known and may be cited as the “South Carolina Family Preservation & Integrity Act.” SECTION 2. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS AND INTENT (A) The General Assembly finds that: The right of parents to the care, custody, and companionship of their children is a fundamental liberty interest protected by the United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of South Carolina. Decades of court practices have resulted in inconsistent application of

Every time a meme calls out “mothers” or “fathers” in parental alienation, the comment section fills with the same chorus: “It happens to moms too!” or “It happens to dads too!” Yes, it does. Alienation isn’t owned by one gender. But here’s the thing: sometimes we need gender-specific language to expose the hypocrisy and patterns that are actually happening in courtrooms. In practice, the system isn’t neutral. Courts are far more likely to hand custody to mothers, even when a

When “family” court “professionals” defend cutting a child off from a parent, they almost always claim it’s for “protection.” They say the child is “safer” without contact, or that the parent is “too harmful” to be in their life. But here’s the truth: if it were really about safety, the child would still have access to the safe parts of that parent’s world, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, and family friends. When a child is denied all of those relationships, t

Parental alienation rarely comes wrapped in honesty. Instead, it disguises itself under buzzwords: “protective,” “cautious,” “safe.” The meme says it best, “I’m not an alienating mother, I’m a protective mother.” But look closer, and the contradictions spill out. A truly protective parent monitors all risky behavior: phone use, social media exposure, late nights, alcohol, unsafe friends, unsupervised parties. They set boundaries across the board, not just when it comes to the

Who Decides if a Parent Is “Deserving”? When it comes to parental alienation, the most dangerous myth is the idea that some parents are “deserving” of their children and some are not. You see it in casual comments online, like the one that says, “Not every parent is deserving of their children.” It sounds simple. It sounds righteous. But it’s a loaded statement that flips the entire foundation of family law upside down. The Law Is Clear: Parents Don’t Earn Their Kids In the U

What I’ve Learned About Fighting a Corrupt GAL For those of you stuck dealing with a corrupt “family” court “guardian” ad litem, let me say this as clearly as I can: Your kids know you. They know you better than some money-hungry imposter who claims to “speak for them” and act in their “best interests.” I’d say “at heart,” but let’s be honest, most of these people don’t seem to have one. I’ve witnessed this system. I’ve seen the games. The lies. The bias. The coercion. The wa
