We can use our own critical thinking skills, follow our own gut intuition about our own livedexperiences, do some research and reflection and find the strength and courage to reach out to our Targeted Parent, theLoving Dad or Loving Mom who we unjustifiably cut out of our lives.Even if it's been years or decades since we last had any contact with our Erased Parent, and we may feel guilt and shamefor how poorly we treated them, we can take the initiative and begin the process of reconnecting and regaining trust. Wedeserve to learn the truth, as shocking and heartbreaking as it may be. Knowing, understanding and acknowledging that wehave experienced Parental Alienation is a more authentic way to live and is essential on our self-actualization and healingjourney.
