Weaponized Alienated Children

To all those engaged in safeguarding the well-being of children, it is crucial to recognise and address the deeply troubling phenomenon of weaponised, alienated children. This behaviour is far from natural; it results from a manufactured conflict that transforms innocent children into emotional weapons aimed at a parent they have loved and would still love. Family courts and mental health professionals must grasp the gravity of this situation.⁠

Imagine a scenario where an alienating parent loads a figurative gun and instructs their child on how to aim and pull the trigger against the other parent, a parent who loves them deeply. This shocking analogy draws attention to the psychological abuse and domestic violence within the dynamics of parental alienation. Just as a loaded gun can inflict physical harm, an alienated child, driven by coercive control, fear and confusion, can cause immense emotional and psychological damage to the targeted parent.⁠

This situation is akin to a psychological war waged against a loving parent. The tactics employed by the alienating parent distort the child’s perceptions, turning them into unwitting participants in this emotional conflict. The consequences are profound and far-reaching. The targeted parent is hurt by the betrayal, the severed bond, and the false accusations, but the child also suffers grievously.⁠

Family courts and mental health professionals must be equipped to recognise the signs of this weaponised behaviour. A child who acts like a loaded gun demonstrates the results of insidious manipulation. This destructive behaviour should not be trivialised or ignored. Instead, it requires urgent intervention to dismantle the psychological weaponry and to restore the child’s emotional well-being.⁠

By acknowledging and addressing the gravity of weaponised alienation, we can work toward protecting the targeted parent’s and child’s mental and emotional health. We need to look at who is loading the gun and teaching their child to fire it, as well as educate them so they know the harm they are causing. We can then hope to rebuild healthy relationships and create an environment where the child can flourish without being caught in the crossfire of adult conflicts.

North Node of Destiny 3-17-25

The Pisces Sun is aligning with the North Node of Destiny at 27° Pisces, activating a fated turning point in your life. This only happens once a year, and the last time this alignment occurred was in April 2024—but then, it happened in Aries. Aries brought movement, action, and bold decisions. Now, Pisces takes over, shifting the focus from pushing forward to seeing the deeper meaning behind everything that has happened.

Think back to early April 2024. What was changing? What risks did you take? What relationships shifted? That period marked a major redirection—doors opened, some closed, and you were urged to step outside your comfort zone. Maybe you started a new path, walked away from something familiar, or felt pulled toward something unknown. Aries was about courage and momentum, even when the outcome wasn’t fully visible.

Now, almost a year later, Pisces is revealing what that moment was leading to. This is the time when divine timing becomes clear, when the Universe connects the dots and allows you to see why everything unfolded the way it did.

The past and future are merging in the present, bringing long-awaited clarity. Questions that lingered in April now have answers. A decision made last year is proving why it was always the right one. A relationship that began or ended then is showing its deeper purpose. If something felt unresolved, expect closure—or a second chance. Someone from that chapter of your life may reappear, because their presence still holds meaning.

Unfinished business resurfaces. A dream you once set aside now feels possible again. A lost opportunity may return with perfect timing. This is the moment when everything starts to make sense.

Pisces clears away illusions, dissolving doubts, and revealing the truth you’ve been seeking. What once felt confusing now feels obvious. Dreams are carrying deeper messages, offering guidance on your next steps. Intuition is heightened, allowing you to sense things before they happen. Signs and synchronicities multiply—repeated numbers, names resurfacing, unexpected opportunities appearing exactly when needed. The Universe is speaking louder than ever, guiding you with precision.

The North Node represents fate. Aries last year gave you the push to move forward. Now, Pisces is showing you where that movement was meant to lead. Everything is happening for a reason—the right people, the right opportunities, the right timing.

Divine intervention is working behind the scenes. Pay attention to the signs appearing around you. A recurring dream, a name that keeps coming up, a gut feeling you can’t ignore—these are messages guiding you toward your highest path. Someone may return because your souls have unfinished work together. An opportunity may reappear because now, you’re ready for it.

Relationships are evolving under this alignment. Aries last year was about independence and self-discovery in love. It was about choosing what felt right in the moment. Now, Pisces brings emotional depth, connection, and spiritual alignment. If a relationship began or ended in April, you may finally understand why. Some connections burned fast and bright but weren’t meant to last. Others needed time to grow, and now, the timing is right. If you’ve been seeking closure or clarity, expect answers.

Your career and purpose are also highlighted. If you took a leap of faith in April—changed jobs, started a new project, launched a business—this is when you see the true impact of that choice. Pisces shifts the focus from external success to inner fulfillment. Has this path brought happiness? Has the risk led to something meaningful? If you hesitated before, another opportunity may arise now, offering a second chance with greater wisdom.

Manifestation is especially powerful under this energy. Pisces moves like water, dissolving barriers between dreams and reality. What you believe is possible is beginning to take shape. Unlike Aries, which required action, Pisces works through alignment—flowing toward what is already meant for you. If you’ve been setting intentions, visualizing, or simply feeling drawn toward something, this is the moment when the Universe starts delivering.

Think back to April 2024. What did you desire most back then? What changes were unfolding? Now, look at where you are today. The puzzle pieces are falling into place. The lessons of the past year are becoming clear. What once felt uncertain is now undeniable.

The Universe is guiding you with precision. Every person, every challenge, every redirection has been part of something greater. The right path is unfolding, and you are being shown exactly where to go next.

Divine timing is shaping everything. If something returns, it is because it was always meant to, whether for reconnection or closure. If something fades, it has completed its role in your story. This is a time to trust—trust in your intuition, trust in the signs around you, and trust that everything is aligning exactly as it should.

April initiated the journey. Now, Pisces reveals where it was always meant to lead. The Universe is speaking, guiding, and showing you the way. Pay attention. Your destiny is unfolding right before your eyes. ~ Alex Myles ❤️

Alienated Children – Cognitive Dissonance

Alienated children often suffer from cognitive dissonance as they struggle to reconcile the negative narrative imposed on them by the alienating parent and their own genuine feelings and memories of the ‘target’ parent. This can lead them to seek reasons to justify their rejection of a loved, loving, available and non-abusive parent. It’s also a means to align with the alienating parent who presents as stronger and apparently safer. This is what the child wants – safety, security, love. Initially, they may subconsciously prioritise pleasing the controlling alienating parent to avoid conflict or further manipulation. ⁠

The alienated child consciously or unconsciously seeks evidence, often exaggerated or distorted, that supports the negative image the alienating parent has portrayed of the ‘target’ parent. Information can be twisted out of all recognition. There are many examples of this. A phone call can be called harassment. Gifts can be bribery. Virtually everything can seem wrong as the alienating parent repositions it, and unfortunately, the child learns this behaviour and starts to put it into practise themselves. This can involve past and present events. Happy memories can be erased and reprogrammed in a negative light. ⁠

But it has to be remembered that when the child does this, it is a way of surviving a dreadful ordeal and somehow trying to justify and validate the behaviours they’ve been coerced into. I’ve heard it so many times from adults who were alienated children that it really helped them to know their rejected parent was always there for them, waiting, in the background, with love, giving them hope that one day everything would be okay.⁠
