High-conflict separation ends healthy family dynamics and destroys childhoods. When parents weaponize their children, coach them to lie about the other parent, manipulate therapy sessions to serve their agenda, or pit siblings against each other in impossible loyalty battles, the emotional devastation can last a lifetime. Dr. Peter Favaro has witnessed the darkest tactics parents use against each other—and the collateral damage inflicted on children caught in the middle.

Whether you're currently in an abusive situation, healing from one, or supporting a loved one, this episode provides validation, expert guidance, and practical strategies for moving forward.
