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 #7 - Blended Families, Hidden Alienation
Blended-family alienation doesn’t always show up with shouting or drama. More often than not, it slips in quietly — weaving itself through the small cracks of a home long before anyone even realizes what’s happening. And by the time those emotional shifts start showing up in a child, the damage has already begun.
In this Reflection, we step into that often unseen world — the world of subtle pressures, loyalty conflicts, and the emotional reshaping that kids experience when they’re caught in between the adults they love most. If you grew up in a blended home… or you’re raising children in one right now… you may hear parts of your own life in this message.
So stick around. Let’s peer into this topic a little deeper. And maybe, the words you hear today will help you see what’s standing right in front of you a bit more clearly — whether that’s the child you’re trying to look out for, or the younger version of yourself that you’re still trying to understand.
