WILL I EVER SEE MY CHILDREN AGAIN? - The Destructive Power of Parental Alienation

Thea Talbusch has not seen her children since they were 12 and 15 years old. That was four years ago, and yet it remains no less difficult for the devoted mother. In her book, she finds the courage to tell her story so that other alienated parents and children who have gone through the same experience can find a voice. And to shake up society and show: it's not always just black or white, but a great deal in between.

Following the separation from her ex-partner, the two initially shared custody. What first appears amicable increasingly turns into a nightmare. Systematically undermined by the father, the children quickly lose the ability to distinguish between reality and imagination. Experiences originally stored as positive memories with the mother are perceived differently after meetings with the father. Thea Talbusch describes for the first time in detail the deep difficulty for a parent to witness this development - up to complete alienation and termination of contact - in powerlessness.
