RTL News
This month we have begun our Every Second Counts campaign and focused on the question What is not “good-enough” parenting.
Right to Love also reviewed the Family Justice Council’s guidelines on “alienating behaviours“.
We are also making a call to action, asking parents and family members to write to their MP to reject proposals to remove the presumption of parental involvement after parents separate.

Professional Spotlight – Dorcy Pruter
Dorcy Pruter is a parenting coach and Chief Executive Officer of the Conscious Co-parenting Institute based in the USA.
Driven by her own personal experience of high-conflict divorce with her own parents and then with her ex-husband, Dorcy was determined to heal her own family. She then set out to help other children and parents at risk of psychological abuse and emotional cutoff where a child rejects a parent.
Dorcy empowers parents who have been rejected by their child to see they are the “Chosen Parent”. Chosen by their child to fix the family problem because the less sensitive parent is unable/unlikely to do the work required. The Concious Co-parenting Institute has coaches world wide.
Dorcy gives lots of free advice to parents online via different platforms and provides different types of paid for services to support parents understanding what is happening in their family and to heal from trauma. This includes:
- Advising on strategy for your court case in the Custody Resolution Method
- High Road to Reunification Workshop
- Membership of The Chosen Parent Collective which provides access to resources, support from other parents and live monthly sessions hosted by Dorcy.
The Conscious Co-Parenting Institute also has training to support professionals working with separated parents and their children.
Right to Love – Key Links
RTL raises awareness of child/partner psychological abuse in the context of parental separation. Our leaflet provides a brief overview of this issue for busy professionals and families.
Some refer to “parental alienation” but we have outlined Why Right to Love Doesn’t Use the Term as we believe it is unnecessarily leading to difficulties securing mental health solutions. Instead we support the diagnostic model used by Dr Craig Childress to identify cases of child psychological abuse.
