In this week's episode I am joined by artist and mother affected by Parental Alienation, Deborah Pearse.

Deborah and I discuss the lack of connection and communication she has had with her daughter over a 12 year period. Despite numerous attempts at communication from Deborah she has received no response from her daughter, due to her ex partners influence. Deborah shares the impact that has had on her and the things she has learned throughout this time, whilst I touch on my counterbalance experience of the absence of my biological father in my life for around 20 years, somewhat due to my mother's influence

Deborah shares how creating art has helped and continues to help her heal and act as a tool for her process her Parental Alienation experience and has a vision of using art to spread awareness around this challenging ordeal on a wider scale.

Deborah intends to launch her own podcast in the coming months, The Divided Podcast, where she will be exploring Parental Alienation and its effects from various different angles.
