Staying Intact
This pillar addresses the internal posture required of targeted parents—stability, restraint, and counterintuitive discipline under sustained pressure.
Entries in this pillar focus on regulation, boundary discipline, delayed response, and the long-game responsibility to the child and the future relationship. It addresses why instinctive reactions often backfire, how self-control becomes non-optional, and what it actually means to hold position without escalating harm.

Parental alienation is a brutal experience that punishes normal parental instincts. What works in ordinary conflict often makes things worse here, intensifying pressure on both the child and the parent.
This entry names that inversion clearly — because staying intact starts with understanding the terrain you’re actually in.
