Bonus Coaching Session: Staying Connected to Your Teen When an Abusive Ex Is Pulling Them Away
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:
- 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?
- Why do teens so often side with the abusive parent, even when that parent is violating orders or causing harm?
- 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?
