Lisa Goodpaster's book Alienated When Parents Won't Parent gives the play by play of her alienator's game exposing the secretive strategies she used and gives us a personal glimpse of the effects this type of child abuse has on the innocent bystander child who is used as a pawn to harm the other parent. This book is groundbreaking work from a true trailblazer in the field of conquering parental alienation.

My parents' divorce and the consequences of not protecting me left me sad, lonely, disappointed and unimportant-like a sacrificial lamb. I rebelled and had to learn to defend and protect myself. I acted it out by getting angry, and I did and said whatever I needed to say and do to keep myself safe. I ignored my needs and protected everyone, and I expected everyone else to handle my emotions.
I had over four hundred survival patterns, which turned into long-term survival patterns. When we are operating in a pattern state, we are not living our authentic selves; rather, we are reactive, suppressing, numbing ourselves, and overthinking. This was for me how I imagine it's like for most alienated kids.
I was angry and unprotected, and my parents' inability to co-parent and their lack of awareness became the danger that allowed my stepmom to write and do what she did.
