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 #6 - Stolen in Broad Daylight
In this episode of iWasErased: Reflections, I open up about one of the most difficult experiences of my life — the day my children were kidnapped overseas without warning.
While I normally share Reflections about parental alienation, there is another side to my story that became something far more devastating: parental abduction. I share what happened, the warning signs I missed, and how it reshaped my faith in a system that was supposed to protect families but failed me and my children. You’ll also hear about how abduction and alienation often walk hand-in-hand, and what steps you can take to better protect yourself from suddenly finding yourself in the same nightmare.
Whether you’re a parent, advocate, or a professional working with families, this Reflection is an eye opening look into what happens when love, trust, and betrayal collide — and what survival looks like on the other side of the lens.
