Parental Alienation

This week on the Where Parents Talk Podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks with Jacqueline Rourke, an award-winning journalist, podcaster, and mother of three who is also an expert in parental alienation.
Rourke shares her personal experience with parental alienation, outlining the behaviours and impacts it has on both parents and children.
She discusses the mental and physical toll it took on her and the strategies she used to eventually reconnect with her children.
The conversation also includes suggestions for parents who are dealing with alienation, the importance of public awareness, and the need for legal and societal changes to better address and support families experiencing parental alienation.
