Bonus Coaching Session: Staying Connected to Your Teen When an Abusive Ex Is Pulling Them Away


Listen Later

In this final Friday Coaching Corner of 2025, Sybil follows up on a previous episode after hearing from a listener whose story echoes so many others navigating malicious interference in the parent–child relationship.

This mom has been enduring post-separation abuse for over two years, including weaponized court orders, ignored therapeutic directives, and a teen who has been heavily influenced by the abusive parent. 

She asks Sybil to address three painful and important questions:

  1. How can a mom who has been partially separated from her teen due to manipulation and lies maintain connection outside of the legal and family court systems?
  2. Why do teens so often side with the abusive parent, even when that parent is violating orders or causing harm?
  3. What steps can a protective parent take to begin radically accepting the situation, especially when their child seems brainwashed, fearful, or aligned with the harmful parent?
