Slam the Gavel welcomes Lisa Goodpaster, author to the podcast. Lisa, now a Childhood Trauma Educator, was alienated from her mother by her stepmother for FORTY YEARS. Her story is one of the most well-known documented cases of CHILD ALIENATION in the WORLD. Lisa's ability to connect and help others UNDERSTAND the DANGERS of not Co-Parenting and the CONNECTION to PARENTAL ALIENATION is creating a positive and constructive movement forward to HELP CREATE CHANGE while clearing the PATH for other survivors to COME FORWARD.
We discussed HER BOOK COMING OUT IN JUNE, "Alienated When Parents Won't Parent," published by SIMON & SCHUSTER, and what it took to write this book. Parental Alienation is a NIGHTMARE. However, nobody knew what this was when, as Lisa explains, she was going through it.
We discussed what happens when a man marries a much younger woman especially when not emotionally healed from a divorce and the children aren't healed from the divorce as well. Lisa talked about what her Stepmother wrote about her Mother. Trauma from the past must be handled or the same cycle will be repeated. Lisa encourages children who have been alienated to speak out. The "Entitlement Factor," "The Cinderella Effect were brought up and how stepmothers focus on the mother and not the kids. Divorce changes everything. This turns into a Human Rights issue and there should be no division between parents. Neglect happens when a man marries a woman just to watch his kids. Judges writing no contact orders on a mother and favoring a stepmother. A woman trying to give her son a hug in the hallway outside of a courtroom and is interfered with/harassed by the stepmother who is a clerk in the courthouse causing a scene. There is so much more in this podcast regarding Lisa's experience with her stepmother. This is a podcast not to be missed as explained so beautifully by Lisa Goodpaster.
