What happens when the children you love most begin to see you as the enemy?One day, your child is laughing in your kitchen, reaching for your hand, begging for one more bedtime story.Then, slowly, painfully, something changes.The calls stop. The warmth disappears. The affection fades. False accusations emerge. And the child you would do anything to protect begins pulling away, becoming someone you barely recognize.In The Alienation: When Your Children Become Strangers, Scott Stockton shares a raw, deeply personal, and emotionally gripping account of parental alienation, high-conflict divorce, and the devastating psychological forces that can fracture families from within.After a painful divorce, Stockton believed he was doing everything right. For years, he maintained a loving relationship with his daughters, building memories through ordinary moments of laughter, traditions, and deep connection. But as adolescence arrived, so did something far darker: emotional manipulation, psychological control, false narratives, and a heartbreaking estrangement that would change his life forever.Yet in the depths of unimaginable loss, Stockton also found something unexpected: resilience, renewed purpose, and a return to faith. As his world unraveled, he discovered an inner strength that carried him through grief, helping transform heartbreak into deeper compassion, spiritual reflection, and hard-earned insight.Blending personal experience with psychological research, family systems theory, mental health insights, and reflections on culture, identity, faith, and modern parenting, The Alienation explores:• The hidden realities of parental alienation• High-conflict divorce and emotionally abusive dynamics• Narcissism, enmeshment, and dysfunctional family systems• Why children can become emotionally bonded to harmful environments• Family court failures and the devastating cost to children and parents• Practical insights for protecting healthy parent-child relationships• Healing, resilience, faith, and rebuilding connection after loss
