Monique Dietvorst founded the Parental Alienation Canada Facebook group to provide education and support for parental alienation and shared parenting defaults. Initially advocating for men’s issues at the Canadian Centre for Men and Families in 2015, she established a gender-neutral movement for Parental Alienation in Canada in 2020. Her aim was to unite all Canadian targeted parents on social media to bring about changes to Canada’s federal Divorce Act. Monique is a Calgary, Alberta native and the daughter of Dutch immigrants. She graduated from the University of Calgary with a BA in English in 2006 and has over a decade of experience as a technical writer in the male-dominated STEM fields. Through her work, she observed men’s high suicide rates, discrimination against fathers in family law, and lack of services for male victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Erasing Family – In North America, over 25 MILLION PARENTS are being erased from their children’s lives after divorce and separation. The ERASING FAMILY documentary follows young adults fighting to reunite with their broken families. Through the eyes of 23-year-old Ashlynn, 12-year-old Lauren and 28-year-old Brian, consequences on mental health caused by profiteering high-conflict divorce court settlements are revealed. The film shows programs that encourage mediation and shared parenting which will prevent parental alienation and future childhood trauma, making divorce and separation less costly both financially and emotionally. The film ends with children and parents being reunited on screen and will inspire other kids to reach out to #erased parents, siblings and grandparents.

Parental alienation is not a syndrome but is real all the same. It is a form of manipulative (Machiavellian) behavior within a cult-like setting, aimed at turning a common child against the targeted parent.
