Séparations avec enfants: Conflits, violences, manipulations
Marie-France Hirigoyen | French, 2024
When parents separate, the child, who occupies a central place within the family, often becomes the focal point of conflicts. Their suffering is not so much linked to the breakup itself but to the way it happens. Despite their good intentions, parents, overwhelmed by their own emotions, sometimes struggle to protect the child. The most harmful effects are observed when, in a context of violent marital interaction, one parent (or sometimes both) uses the child as a witness, fueling their sense of powerlessness.

YOU-KNOW-WHO: An Alienated Daughter’s Memoir
Dana Laquidara | English, 2023
Even when parents divorce, their children are allowed to keep loving both of them. At least that is how it should be. But shortly after Dana's parents split up, her whole maternal family is cast out of her life. Traumatized but afraid to upset her father, Dana obediently goes along with this plan of erasing the past. Over time, her mother becomes a fading memory, an outline in her imagination, etched in colors. Red hair, white skin, the same blue eyes as Dana's. Unable to voice her yearning to have her mother back, or even to ask questions about her, Dana holds on to proof of her mother's existence wherever she can find it.
In this harrowing memoir, Dana makes her way through her lonely childhood and teenage years, and through her father's second marriage with the woman she is told to call mother. Dana tries to fill the emptiness left by her mother's absence, but she eventually learns that she must harness the courage to face the truth, whether or not that leads her back to her mother.

Alienación Parental: Niños Huérfanos de Padres Vivos
Mauricio Luis Mizrahi | Spanish, 2022
The concept of parental alienation has already entered jurisprudence in several rulings, including one from the Supreme Court of the Nation (Argentina). Children who refuse to see one of their parents even if there is no justification; fathers or mothers victims of false reports of abandonment, mistreatment, violence and even abuse, deprived of seeing their children for unacceptable periods of time because justice takes years to elucidate cases and even after acquittals; parents who refuse to abide by the judicial provisions on visits, reconnections or family therapies to prevent the resumption of the child’s relationship with the former partner. Those are the situations of injustice, pain, and psychological damage that parental alienation causes.
