For the alienated child, being a cycle breaker means recognising the toxic patterns and emotional manipulation imposed on them by the alienating parent. Growing up in an environment of parental alienation, the child may have internalised false narratives about the target parent, leading to emotional distance and hostility. However, as a cycle breaker, the alienated child begins questioning these beliefs, seeking to break free and find out the truth. This process involves acknowledging the generational trauma that may have perpetuated the alienating behaviour (in the ‘aligned’ parent) and reclaiming their identity and perceptions of the target parent. By confronting and healing from the wounds of parental alienation, the alienated child can pave the way for healthier relationships and emotional well-being in the future.
For the target parent who may have (though not in all cases) entered into a marriage due to low self-worth or other unresolved issues, being a cycle breaker involves self-reflection and healing. This parent may have unknowingly perpetuated the cycle of dysfunction from their own upbringing, leading to toxic relationship patterns. As a cycle breaker, the target parent recognises the impact of their past experiences on their choices and behaviours. They take responsibility for their healing journey, seeking therapy or support to address their emotional wounds. By doing so, the target parent can transform themselves and their parenting style, breaking free from the cycle of generational trauma and creating a healthier environment for themselves and their children.
In the case of both the alienated child and the target parent, becoming cycle breakers is transformative and empowering. They pave the way for healing and growth within themselves and future generations. Through their resilience and determination, they foster a new legacy of healthier relationships, self-worth, and emotional well-being, breaking the chains of generational trauma and charting a path towards a more positive and fulfilling future.
It’s mighty!!
