Where Are All The Other Adult Alienated Children?
By: Dana Laquidara | July 17, 2024
On October 10th and 11th of this year, about a dozen of us adult alienated or formerly alienated children will be speaking at a conference—our conference—and telling in-person and virtual attendees what it has been like to be alienated from a loving parent.
I have spoken many times to audiences of alienated parents, professionals, and other people interested in hearing about this pathology. But I always wondered where all the other adult alienated children were. Where are my brothers and sisters in alienation? I’ve known that many remain in the fog of the alienation, unaware of the coercion that has altered their perception and their reality. But I knew I couldn’t be the only one to have awakened to the truth.
Now, at long last, we have found each other (Thank you Anti-Alienation Project!). I think that I can speak for all of us when I say that we consider this conference an expression of our conscious uprising- together. To be alienated from a loving parent is to be coercively controlled, and oppressed. To speak out about it, to educate, and to tell of our lived experiences, is to claim our authentic power. It is to honor our responsibility to ourselves, to those trying to navigate alienation today, and to all the children who are at risk of alienation tomorrow.
I am so excited to join my fellow speakers, my fellow Thrivers, in this mission. In the darkness that is alienation, we will shine the brightest light, not only so that this pathology is better understood, but also so that the way home, back to self, to healing, is illuminated.

I registered for the conference but did not receive a confirmation email. Should I be expecting one?
Hi Caroline,
Thanks for registering for the conference. I saw you name on the list of registrants, but you should have recieved a confirmation. I will check Stripe to make sure there is one being sent.
I am new to PASG. I haven’t had the opportunity to study the videos nor have a I had the opportunity to speak in person to other people. I am very much interested in attending the conference, Yet, I am receiving the impression when the term “adult survivors” is used it is referring only to the children survivors. I was and I am an alienated parent.
So I am wondering if this conference is only for this particular group of people. I do consider myself an adult survivor too. Please let me know if this conference can provide me with some important information.
The favor of a reply is requested.
Thanks
Hi Eugenia,
Thank you for contacting us. Yes, this conference is put on by adult survivors, but the audience is for Family Court Professionals, mental health professionals and practitioners, educators, law enforcment and anyone else that needs to hear about what child psychological abuse related to parental alienation. So, you are more than welcome to attend the event.
Hope that helps answer your question.
Best,
Dawn
I purchased a ticket and my credit card was charged, but I never received a ticket for the event. I have tried several times to click on the “contact us” tab, but it doesn’t go anywhere. Is it possible to request a refund, as I no longer plan to attend? I don’t see anywhere on the site to do that. Thank you.
Hi Don,
There was a glitch in the Stripe payment portal that we were unaware of. Only one person contacted us regarding a receipt, which everyone should have been getting. I can push the receipt out to you now. We are still working on the contact us form, which is still a mystery, but we are working on that with our developer now. We apologize that it has been an inconvenience.
Just a note: there are no physical tickets, just a registration and receipt is all that will be given now that we have the error fixed.
Thank you for your support in our movement.
Kind regards,
The Thrivers Speak Team
