Good Parent - Bad Parent: Understanding Parental Alienation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781789557251)

Having known the author for many years I was given the opportunity to proof read this book and it is so "on the button" to my own situation as to be uncanny. My alienation is comparable, and I suspect may well have many similarities with other alienations.

The alienation process described as well as the characteristics of the alienator has so many reassuring parallels to my own experiences. The author has a complete understanding and explains alienation in simple, powerful terms.

I now understand that however hard I tried to avoid this outcome; it could not have been any different. This was the way it always was going to be.

After alienation happened, guilt, blame and isolation have been my driving emotions and this book gave me the confidence that I no longer need to feel that shame.

This is a 'must read' book for any alienated person.
