🎙️ Episode Summary

In part three of Paul Hendricks’ gripping journey, we explore the devastating emotional and psychological consequences of parental alienation on both the targeted parent and the children. Paul details the unraveling of reunification efforts due to an unqualified therapist, his emotional and physical relocation to heal, and his eventual return to California in hopes of reconnection. He shares the systemic failure of the court system, the role of mental health professionals, the abusive household his children remained in, and the generational trauma at play. Paul reflects on his own healing, the corrupt players in his case, and his commitment to advocacy so other families don't suffer the same fate.
