“…This is because adult alienated children may find conversations of this nature emotionally challenging, dysregulating, and destabilizing (Bentley and Matthewson, 2020;Haines et al, 2020). This is consistent with Warshak (2010), who recommended that targeted parents "strike while the iron is cold. " This means it is important for targeted parents to resist the urge to have or persist with confronting topics of conversations with their adult alienated children when the adult alienated child is ready and not when they are having strong emotional reactions.…”

IntroductionThe aim of this study was to explore the experiences of voluntary reunification from the perspectives of adult alienated children and targeted parentsMethodsNine adult alienated children and 12 targeted parents participated in semi-structured interviews which were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematicallyResultsSix themes emerged in the data from the adult alienated children including catalysts for reunification, factors influencing reunification, adult alienated child relationships, the role of communication in reunification, adult alienated child understandings of alienation post reunification, and the role of therapy in reunification. Three themes emerged from the targeted parents including what is reunification, factors impacting reunification, and life after reunification.DiscussionFindings from the present study offer novel insights into the experience of voluntary reunification from the perspectives of both adult alienated children and targeted parents. They illustrate that voluntary reunification is a process that takes time. This process can span decades and can include periods of connection and rejection.

“…When the revolving door of litigation becomes evident, these parents and their cases are often labeled as "frequent fliers" in family courts (Kreeger, 2008;Sullivan & Burns, 2020). Some parents experience systemic vilification based on stereotypes perpetuated by client-facing blog posts (e.g., Buie, 2022;Farias Family Law, P.C., n.d.;Stich, 2014) and popular press books (e.g., Behrman & Zimmerman, 2018;Eddy, 2020;Warshak, 2010).…”

Illustratively, a parent recently penned an op‐ed in the Boston Globe (Elton, 2020) asserting that mandatory parent education can be a shaming experience for parents and citing research by legal and feminist scholars who have described similar experiences (Charania & Simonds, 2018; Schaefer, 2010).…”

A call for early, effective, and scalable parent education programs for high‐conflict separated/divorcing parents: A synthesized perspective from prevention science and family law

Conflict between parents is stressful for children living in the midst of parental separation or divorce. Although some level of post‐separation/divorce conflict is understandable in an emotionally‐charged separation/divorce, it undermines the extent to which parents can protect their children from short‐ and long‐term problems. In this article, we weave together a synthesized perspective informed by our respective training and experience in prevention science and family law on the role of parent education programs for high‐conflict separating/divorcing parents. To do so, we first describe the research on the effects of interparental conflict on children's outcomes and then discuss current approaches and challenges to reducing these negative effects by offering parent education programs for high‐conflict separating/divorcing parents. Then, we propose and describe a new model for early, effective, and scalable parent education programs with the ultimate goal of protecting children after separation/divorce.
