Thank you so much for these articles! Do you have tips on what to do/say when the child doesn't even want to talk at all?

Thank you Linda!

I have a few article drafts that I am working on and a guiding to texting, especially when the child is avoidant is on my list - just gathering research and strategies before publishing.

Great article! I've read his book in the past and an very familiar. I used it to negotiate with a sociopath. It was helpful to read how it relates to alienation. 'll start using this immediately.

Very helpful! If you can continue to post about what to say/write/text to an alienated child (no physical contact), that would be great.

Perhaps also the feelings certain phrases like "I miss you" envoke in them or how it's more emotional than about facts. ❤️

I will make a note of it and draft an article about it over the summer. :)

Thank you for the great article! I heard it on The Anti Alienation Project and I am an alienated grandmother. I want to be ready in case my son's daughter comes back...which there seems to be a slim glimmer of hope that it might happen this summer. This is excellent! Would it be alright if I print it out?
