What happens when your child is taught to hate you? If you've ever had to ask yourself this heartbreaking question, this book is for you.
Sienna and her husband didn't lose their children to death. They lost them to parental alienation-a deliberate, calculated campaign that destroyed their relationship. If you are living through the nightmare of watching your child be turned against you, you don't need another legal textbook or a bitter rant. You already know that generic advices don't help. What you need to know is: How does anyone survive this?
Hope Is A Gentle Flicker answers that question with brutal honesty. This is not a book about winning your child back. It's a book about winning yourself back. It explains what it actually takes to keep your identity, your sanity and your capacity for love intact when a child you raised is being weaponised against you. This is the story of every targeted parent. You will recognise yourself in these pages.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE THIS BOOK:
• A focus on your survival, not the child's return. This book does not promise reunion. It promises a roadmap for how to keep breathing, functioning and protecting your identity and your mental health. • Honest grief that validates your experience. Sienna names exactly what you are feeling: the shame of being the parent nobody believes, the rage at a system that rewards manipulation, the exhaustion of explaining to people why you don't have access to your children. • Language for the unspeakable. You'll gain the words to explain ambiguous loss to the people in your life who don't understand it.
If you are a targeted parent, step-parent, or grandparent experiencing parental alienation and you are tired of being silenced-this book speaks for you.Surviving parental alienation feels less impossible when you know someone else already did.
