PATH Journal
Clarity · Pattern · Accountability
This is a long-form record of patterns, failure modes, and lived realities in parental alienation and high-conflict family systems. It is not therapy. It is not neutral. It is not written to persuade.
It exists to name what is often left unsaid—clearly, carefully, and without performance.
Reader Notice
This journal is written for targeted parents and professionals who can tolerate clarity without comfort.
It does not offer individualized advice, diagnosis, or legal guidance.
It documents patterns. If you are looking for optimism, reassurance, or “both-sides” framing, this will not be a fit.
Disagreement is allowed. Denial, minimization, and narrative games are not the point here.
Some entries discuss coercion, psychological manipulation, and institutional failure in plain language.
Journal Pillars
Define parental alienation clearly—what it is, what it is not, common methods, baseline child impact, and references.
Describe what targeted parents are up against—court ecosystems, professionals, incentives, and how alienation plays out day to day.
Articulate the internal posture required: stability, restraint, regulation, and counterintuitive choices—grounded in responsibility to the child.
From the Journal
A clear, grounded definition of parental alienation — what it is, what it is not, and why confusion around it causes so much harm.
If every choice you make seems to be the wrong one, you’re not imagining it. This entry names the double bind that turns ordinary parenting into a no-win situation.
What works in ordinary conflict often makes things worse here, intensifying pressure on both the child and the parent.
