Man Woman Truth Radio Tonight at 9pm: Divorcing your Kids, Part 1
What do men do when the marriage is over, but the ex-wife uses the kids as a permanent, go-to method for continuing her vindictive and vengeful behavior? For many men, there is no good way out. They are, out of love for their children, locked in to a lifestyle of continuing abuse. Frequently the children are enlisted by the mother to share her hatred and animosity for the father, and what was once a broken marriage becomes a broken family.
Some men are forced to consider an almost unthinkable solution, which is to say good-bye to their children. It is a problem that no man wants, yet many face.
Some men live by a code as fathers that no matter what the circumstances saying good-bye to their children is not an option. Unfortunately, in some cases, that position results in more chaos, for him, and for his children.
Sometimes staying in the mix is the wrong thing to do.
This is a very difficult and controversial topic, but tonight on the Man Woman Truth Radio Program we will address it with frankness and honesty.
We invite you to join hosts Paul Elam and Dr. Tara Palmatier for a rare discussion on the difficult decision to divorce your children.
The phone lines will be open at 310-388-9709 for your calls, and after the one hour program both Paul and Dr. T will be present in the Stickam room for further discussion and to field questions.
If you are a father feeling trapped in an endless pattern of destruction by your ex-wife and dealing with children whose minds have been poisoned and turned against you, please join us for this very special program.
The show airs live on May 21, at 8:00 Central Time, US, which is 2:00 a.m. May 22, in London and 11:00 a.m. May 22 in Brisbane. If you have not yet requested membership in the Stickam Room, you can do so through the link below.

Hi. Is there a replay
Hi Shirley,
Yes, here’s the link to the embed:

I missed the radio show. How can I hear or read more about this. Because I am going through exactly what I just now read. I know there is a solution out there. Help a brother out.
See the link in my comment below.
This is, sadly, a reality that has happened to my husband. He stayed in an unhealthy relationship for the sake of the kids and would have continued to stay until she met her “soul mate” and left him and the kids for a more exciting life. They picked up the pieces and carried on for many years. Then the ex didn’t like me being in the picture and her tactics changed. Hurt him through his kids. This article is textbook to what he has had to learn to suck up and still hold his head high. He has and continues to be the bad guy, the awful parent and the one they are “afraid of’”. To be very honest, they should have some fear of contact with him. After the lies they’ve told over the years and the horrible things they’ve posted on facebook asking another family member to hurt my son their fear is real but not what they are implying to others. With the years of enduring this and seeing the irrationality of their projections and gaslighting, I don’t feel any need to defend or explain his actions any longer to family members who seem to have been hoovered in to their tales of woe/victimization. We are now going on 7 years of no contact which is for the best. Time does make it easier. For a while we had hoped for apologies then maybe we could work on salvaging what remained of a relationship. Now, we’ve reached a point where we don’t think that is ever going to happen. From time to time, I check out this web site and every time I do, everything hits so close to home. Thank you Dr. T for all the good work that you do.
