Broken Fathers Podcast
The Broken Fathers Podcast, founded by Australian veteran Jared "Purcy" Purcell, provides a platform for fathers to share their struggles, expose flaws in Australia’s outdated Family Court system, and advocate for change.
Purcy decided to create a podcast to establish a platform where fathers can feel comfortable to share there horrific experiences about the outdated Family Court system of Australia. He intends to lay bare the twisted system, by sharing the experiences of other broken fathers; to heal, to learn, and to raise awareness to end this injustice against men.
Jared’s a proud father, who has been completely broken by his experiences with the outdated Family Court system.
Good and loving fathers should never have to fight strangers in court, for the basic right to be a part of, and parent their own children.

Episode 5 - Ella Ware - I was Robbed of a Relationship with my Father
Episode 5
Guest - Ella Ware
In a groundbreaking episode of the Broken Fathers Podcast, we sit down with Ella Ware, a Broken Daughter, who endured parental alienation and was deprived of a relationship with her loving father. For the first time, we explore this experience through the eyes of the child, offering a deeper and more nuanced understanding of her thoughts, emotions, and personal journey.
Ella recounts how, following her parents’ separation, her mother subjected her and her two siblings to years of emotional abuse, psychological manipulation, and cruel mind games. She describes the deep sense of being used as pawns in a cruel strategy to hurt their father. Ella also reveals how she witnessed her mother deceitfully manipulate various organisations and exploit the system for financial gain—an act Ella believes was driven purely by spite.
Ella provides a more comprehensive view of her father’s actions, sharing both her childhood experiences of the efforts she witnessed him make and the insights and regrets she has only come to fully understand and appreciate as an adult.
Perhaps the most distinctive aspect discussed in this episode is how Ella’s experiences have shaped her own divorce and co-parenting journey. As a Broken Daughter, she has a profound understanding of the importance of both parents being involved in her children’s lives. Ella is dedicated to fostering a co-parenting relationship built on mutual respect, prioritising the well-being of her children. Having witnessed the harmful impact the legal system, along with organisations like Child Safety and Child Support, can have on fathers, she has become a passionate advocate for equal parenting rights.
