283 - The Infection Stage Before Parental Alienation
A child’s bond doesn’t shatter overnight—it frays through small cuts that often go unnoticed. We unpack the idea of “pre-alienation,” the early stage where one parent’s subtle comments, eye rolls, and quiet omissions make a child question the other parent’s love or competence. Using a clear infection-versus-disease analogy, we show how these patterns multiply over time and why the earliest moments are the best time to intervene.

What we're gonna and and Charlie brought up the concept of pre alienation. And what pre alienation is, is essentially it's the setup for parental alienation, hence the name. And it refers to the deliberate or or maybe subconscious behaviors by one parent, the alienating parent, that damage the child's relationship with the other parent. And the other parent's called the targeting parent. And this happens before the alienation becomes full-blown parental alienation. So think of it this way a parental alienation is the disease. Free alienation is the infection stage where the virus is introduced and starts multiplying. And let me just say this unequivocally. If you have a wife or an ex wife that is not encouraging a relationship with your children and you, then she has some significant mental and emotional issue.
