iWasErased: Reflections
They said it couldn’t happen.
That no loving parent could be erased from their child’s life. But here you are. And you’re not alone.
iWasErased: Reflections is a short-form solo podcast for alienated and left-behind parents living the nightmare no one believes—until it happens to them.
Hosted by advocate and lived-experience voice David Shubert, each 15–17-minute episode is a reflection, a rant, or a wake-up call. No scripts. No fluff. Just real talk about parental alienation, family court failure, and the emotional wreckage left behind.
If you’re a targeted parent, a supporter, or someone finally waking up to what’s really going on, this space is for you.
Not therapy. Not legal advice. Just truth. Pain. And hard-earned hope.
New episodes drop weekly. Also available on YouTube, Substack, LinkedIn, and the iWasErased community pages.
Because silence protects the alienator. And we’re done being silent.

Episode 4 - The Search for Somewhere Else
In this episode, I talk about that deep, quiet urge to start over — to find somewhere else when the place you are no longer feels like home.
For many alienated parents, that search isn’t just about geography; it’s about peace. After years of fighting, explaining, and being dismissed, sometimes the only way forward is to step away and breathe somewhere new.
I share what that search has looked like for me — not as an escape, but as a form of survival. Because when everything familiar becomes a reminder of loss, finding “somewhere else” can be the beginning of healing, not the end of hope.
