Weaponization of children is one of the most devastating tactics of a predatory parent.

It is deliberate.

It is abusive.

And it leaves both the protective parent and the child carrying wounds that are hard to name.

The strategy is simple: if they can’t control you directly, they will do it through your child.

They turn ordinary parenting decisions into proof you are unsafe. They coach your child to repeat lies as if they were their own thoughts.

And they perform victimhood to anyone who will listen, including the courts.

For the child, the impact is profound. They are forced to choose survival over truth. They begin to question their own instincts. They carry shame for words they don’t even believe.

And slowly, the thread of attachment with you is strained under the weight of manipulation.

Naming this matters. It strips away the false framing of “conflict” or “custody dispute.” This is not conflict. This is child abuse.

And while you cannot stop the predatory parent from deploying this tactic, you can change how you respond to it. You can separate the script from the child. You can protect them from carrying the abuser’s narrative as their own.

Inside Dr. C’s Community, protective mothers talk through moments like this together. You don’t have to walk it alone. Link in bio.

You don’t have to be fierce every day. You don’t have to prove how strong you are. You survived. That’s enough. Healing doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t hurt, it means learning to feel safe again, even in tiny moments. Rest if you need to. You’re not behind. You’re already a miracle in motion.

For education, empowerment and validation. 💜🖤
