My name is Alana and I am a SurThriver. But this doesn’t define me, it empowers me and it can empower you too! My goal is to give you the courage and confidence to successfully take on every stage of your divorce and rebuild your life.
MY STORY
In 2019, I entered into a high-conflict child custody battle - an experience I was not properly prepared for. During this time, I felt that no-one understood what I was going through and I didn’t know who to turn to. Due to my lack of lack of knowledge regarding the dynamics of the family court system, I made a lot of costly mistakes and then I unknowingly stepped into post-separation abuse: legal, alienation allegations, isolation, counter-parenting, and harassment. It was awful! However, I have since come to learn that this is one of the most common tactics used by narcissists to regain control. They love to manipulate the narrative, protect their self-image, and bully their way to winning.
The emotional rollercoaster of balancing a busy work schedule, raising happy, healthy children, and trying to get through my child custody case was almost too much for me. Looking back, I realize I was not properly prepared for a high-conflict child custody battle, and I wish I had someone dedicated to me – only me and my goals. Someone to guide me through the process, be my strategic thought partner, and provide me with the very necessary mental support and motivation.
I have since dedicated my life to educating others on:
- The dynamics and effects of narcissistic abuse.
- Developing a strategic mindset and plan for battling high conflict divorce and child custody legal battles.
- Parallel parenting in the mist of counter parenting and parental alienation claims.
