When Your Child Repeats a Narcissist’s Lies During Divorce

If your child has ever repeated something cruel, distorted, or completely untrue that clearly came from your narcissistic ex during divorce, you are not being betrayed — and your child is not turning against you.
This is one of the most painful moments in high-conflict divorce. And it requires a calm, strategic response.
In this video, I explain:
• Why children repeat a narcissist’s lies (and what it really means)
• The biggest mistake loving parents make in the moment
• How defending yourself can unintentionally push your child further away
• What to say instead to protect your child emotionally
• Why calm consistency builds long-term credibility
• How to quietly document manipulation without putting your child in the middle
When a narcissist can no longer control you, they often try to control the narrative through the child. But alienation is a long game — and the parent who stays grounded, steady, and emotionally safe creates contrast over time.
If you’re navigating divorce with a narcissist and your child is caught in the middle, this video will help you respond in a way that protects both your child and your future relationship with them.
