Then I explore how I reconnected with my scapegoat son despite my daughter,the Nex golden child still being lost in the fog of alienation for nearly four years as this book was going to be published.All my advice and articles have either appeared in my secret abuse recovery group and been read by survivors or more recently on Tammy Mariposa public page where I write exclusively for target parents and have helped them to reconnect with their children using my 'drips of love' technique.When my son returned to me I held on through my joy pain and tears and continued to journal my sons reunification story over the year which provides valuable insight into how parental alienation is achieved and how the conditioning can be broken by the 'Drips of love' technique.So let me hold your hand and walk with you in your grief and pain and help you to heal yourself by firstly letting go of the guilt about moving forwards without your children so you can reach a mentally healthy place, so you are then in a position to rescue your children from their pathogenic parent.Firstly by understanding what is actually happening to your child, how your alienated child thinks and secondly how you can use this knowledge to reconnect with them and repair and nurture a loving relationship with them once again.We then explore how we can look to the future with our new knowledge by turning our pain into positivity and heal to such a point where we can live a life of love and abundance.

WARS CHANGE, WARRIORS DON'T We are all warriors. Each of us struggles every day to define and defend our sense of purpose and integrity, to justify our existence on the planet and to understand, if only within our own hearts, who we are and what we believe in. Do we fight by a code? If so, what is it? What is the Warrior Ethos? Where did it come from? What form does it take today? How do we (and how can we) use it and be true to it in our internal and external lives? The Warrior Ethos is intended not only for men and women in uniform, but artists, entrepreneurs and other warriors in other walks of life. The book examines the evolution of the warrior code of honor and "mental toughness." It goes back to the ancient Spartans and Athenians, to Caesar's Romans, Alexander's Macedonians and the Persians of Cyrus the Great (not excluding the Garden of Eden and the primitive hunting band). Sources include Herodotus, Thucydides, Plutarch, Xenophon, Vegetius, Arrian and Curtius--and on down to Gen. George Patton, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, and Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Dayan.
