Burned by the Bench
A Survival Guide for Safe Parents Erased by the Family Court System
This isn’t just a book. It’s a reckoning.
If you’ve ever walked out of a courtroom and felt like the air had been stolen from your lungs…
If you’ve watched your truth be twisted into lies…
If you’ve lost your child—not to death, but to silence, erasure, and a legal system that rewarded control over love—
This is the book that will finally name what happened to you.
Burned by the Bench is a survival guide for safe parents who have been targeted by litigation abuse, alienated by a narcissistic or high-conflict ex, and retraumatized by a court that couldn’t (or wouldn’t) see the truth.
Inside these pages, you’ll learn how to:
• Recognize and dismantle coercive legal tactics
• Rebuild your nervous system so your presence speaks louder than the lies
• Regulate your emotions without suppressing your truth
• Speak in court without your story being weaponized
• Protect your child’s nervous system—even when you’re not with them
• Understand the psychology behind alienation, personality disorders, and trauma bonds
• Begin to heal—even if your child hasn’t come home yet
This book was written by someone who lived it.
Who fought.
Who broke.
Who rose.
And who is now showing you the way out—not just of court, but out of the fog.
Whether you’re still in the fight or starting to reclaim your life…
You are not alone.
You are not the problem.
And you are not broken.
You are still here.
And now—so is your power.
