This week is an incredibly important episode and the A team is beyond lucky to sit down with Suzanne Zaccour, Director of Legal Affairs for NAWL (the National Association of Women and Law).

NAWL, together with over 250 other organizations, has petitioned for the removal of "Parental Alienation" from the Family Courts as it is incredibly ineffective and only serves to re-victimize and punish those trying to get out of abusive relationships. This episode lifts the lid off the term “alienator”, bringing it all back to what is best for the kids.
