“Why does my child hate me?” For a parent watching their relationship with their child unravel, that question can be devastating. And for an adult looking back on childhood, another question can be just as painful: “Was I turned against a parent I never really got the chance to know?” This week on Boy Meets Squirrel, Dan and Lindsay welcome Dr. Lynn Steinberg for a live conversation about parental alienation—recognizing the warning signs, understanding the child’s perspective, and exploring what families can do next. We’ll discuss: • What parental alienation is—and how it differs from a child pulling away for other reasons. • Early warning signs parents can miss. • How to respond when your child rejects you or repeats accusations. • Mistakes that can make reconnecting harder. • What to do if you suspect you were alienated from a parent growing up. • Navigating lost years, difficult questions, and possible reconnection. Bring your questions and join the conversation. Whether you’re a parent, an adult child, a grandparent, or someone trying to support a family member, there’s room for your perspective. Real conversation. Direct questions. And an audience that’s part of the show. 🔴 Boy Meets Squirrel airs live Wednesdays, 4:00–5:30 PM Eastern.
