Jude Sandvall / Charlie McCready

The silent epidemic of parental alienation devastates countless families each year, yet remains poorly understood even by many family court professionals. In this powerful episode, we're joined by Charlie McCready, a coach who helps parents navigate the painful journey of having their children turned against them—a journey he knows intimately from losing and eventually rebuilding relationships with his own children.
