Navigating Parental Alienation
Navigate Successfully Through Your Experience of Being Alienated as a Parent
"My podcast is the guidebook I was looking for two decades ago when I was going through being alienated as a parent and no one understood what was happening to my family. I learned what works, what doesn’t, and why."
If you know or suspect that your children are being alienated from you, NAVIGATING PARENTAL ALIENATION is for you. And it's for anyone who is trying to help or support someone dealing with parental alienation.
And COMING SOON: NAVIGATING PARENTAL ALIENATION - THE ONLINE COURSE launching in June 2024. It's a step by step guide to understanding and then defeating parental alienation.
"My course guides parents through their pain to release their trauma, build their resilience and learn compassionate communication that reconnects them with their children."
Jacqueline Rourke is a former targeted parent who is using her skills as an an award-winning broadcast journalist to help other targeted parents regain their sanity and reconnect with their alienated children. She shares everything she learned while suffering through alienation to be able to come out the other side and reconnect fully with her children.
In this podcast, Jacqueline interviews parents who are alienated from their children, as well as mental health clinicians, legal professionals, researchers and other experts who have something helpful and meaningful to share.
If you are alienated from your children, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Hearing from other parents about their experience will help you understand what may be going on in your situation. And Jacqueline's insight into what works and what doesn't will empower you to act with confidence as you work to reconnect with your alienated children.
Jacqueline is on a mission to raise public awareness about parental alienation, and to inform legal and mental health professionals about it — most of whom have no training and little awareness about this tragically common phenomenon.
“It is time to eliminate parental alienation.”

Episode 2 - Is the alienating parent a narcissist?
What did you think about our podcast?
Many Parental Alienation experts say that parents who alienate a child or children from their other parent often have a personality disorder, such as narcissistic personality disorder or NPD. In this episode, Jacqueline introduces us to Charlotte, a mother who was raised by a narcissistic parent and then found herself in a relationship with a narcissistic partner who tried to alienate her from their children.
Jacqueline and Charlotte discuss the classic behaviors of narcissists, the red flags that often get ignored in the early stages of a relationship with a narcissist, how narcissists typically seek out empathic and emotionally strong partners, and how narcissists will always behave unreasonably with their partners to maintain control in the relationship. The constant disequilibrium and drama means the narcissist’s target cannot take care of their own needs but is always working to appease the narcissist and lower the drama.
As Charlotte explains, being partners with a narcissist is like a firefighter being married to an arsonist – while you’re putting out the sofa, they are setting fire to the drapes. And they will constantly create problems that are unsolvable to wear you down completely to the point where you cannot even take care of yourself. Charlotte reminds us that we must pay attention to how others make us feel, and if they make us feel badly about ourselves, that is someone to avoid.
