Last Thursday on Parent Coach Radio our special guest was Jill Egizzi, author of “The Look of Love.” Jill shares her insight about her new book and her passion to bring awareness to the term Parental Alienation. The Look of Love is a novel that gives an accurate account of Parental Alienation and how it affects the family unit and the identity of the children involved. The compelling new book pulls the curtain back on the tragedy of the family court system while giving you a front row seat illustrating how the parent -child relationship can be shattered at the hands of the other parent.

Jill is politically active and was appointed to the Illinois Family Law Study committee. Their vision is to give the family courts an overhaul in the state of Illinois. Jill also serves as a board member for Children Need Both Parents and Parental Alienation Awareness Organization. The mother of four also holds the position of advisor for The Institute for the American Family.

Here is your chance to listen to the show that you missed where we tackled the topic of parental alienation. Some of the issues we discussed- what to do if you suspect parental alienation, the emotions you face, and how to make change just to name a few.

What others are saying about the book

“The Look of Love is a godsend for parents who have been alienated from their children after a bitter divorce. Candidly describing the pain and frustration of parents and children who are torn asunder, Egizii offers readers a poignant view of parental alienation at its worst. Disheartened parents will feel heard and understood after reading this heartfelt novel.”

 —Dr. Linda Nielsen, author of Between Fathers and Daughters
Professor of Education Professor of Adolescent and Educational Psychology,
Wake Forest University

“The Look of Love clearly demonstrates how quickly and easily parental alienation can occur and the harm these behaviors do to children and the rejected parent. Ms. Egizii does a fantastic job of walking us through the effects of alienation, including the aha light bulb moment when a parent realizes that the child’s pain
is paramount to their own. A riveting read.”

 —Sarvy Emo, founder, Parental Alienation Awareness Day, April 25th
Founder, Parental Alienation Awareness Organization (PAAO)

Parenting a child does not come with a manual when they are born, but in most cases our parenting style is learned from our own parents.  The latest topic we covered on the premier episode of Parent Coach Radio was “Toxic Parenting”.   This is a parenting style that reflects where a parent’s negative and destructive behavior harms the child’s sense of self and even the bond of parent and child.

The behaviors include but are not limited to verbal, physical, or sexual abuse.  Many of these parents will ignore emotional needs and only indulge in their own selfish desires. Unfortunately these patterns become repetition and stay consistent into adulthood.  Children and adults take blame for their parent’s aberrant morals and conduct. Their world is surrounded by emotions of guilt and often too many times becomes the legacy in their own parenting styles.  

Sometimes when we are parenting our children it becomes transparent that we learn what we live. It becomes hard to distinguish between our emotional pain and parenting.  During the show a resource we talked about and shared was a book Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Susan Forward

If you have sat down as an adult with your parent to confront them on your emotions about their past actions and you hear these answers you are not crazy or alone.                                    

  “How can you do this to me?”                                                            

“It never happened.”

“It was your fault.”

“I said I was sorry what more do you want?”

“We did the best we could.”

“Look what we did for you.”

“How can you do this to me?”

To hear the reasoning of these answers and more about the subject of toxic parenting listen to the audio recording of Parent Coach Radio with Chrissy, Lary and special guest Brigitte Weinberg from My Life Instruction.com

These various titles cover difficult situations ranging from death to eating healthy. The coloring books allow children to find answers to difficult questions as well as express themselves in a healthy manner.

There are titles for a variety of different situations, including parental alienation and divorce.

Divorce
