There are fathers who didn’t walk away from their children —
they were quietly pushed out.

In this episode of The Pump It Up Magazine Podcast, I speak directly to fathers who are living this reality — men whose children have been turned against them after divorce or separation, often through manipulation, silence, and narrative control.

This is a conversation I felt deeply called to have.

In this episode, I talk about:

• How an ex can influence children against their father

• The impact this has on men’s mental health, including anxiety, grief, and emotional isolation

• Why children may distance themselves from their father — even as adults

• What fathers can do to protect their mental health and begin healing

This episode is part of my Still Your Father series and is connected to the song “Still Your Father” written by my husband, Michael B. Sutton — a powerful reminder that fatherhood doesn’t disappear just because access is taken away.

💛 I’ve also included a gentle bonus segment for adult children who may be listening quietly — especially those trying to make sense of their own trauma, fear, or emotional shutdown.

This is not about blame.
It’s about clarity, compassion, and healing — for fathers and for families.

Faith-Based Wisdom on Fatherhood, Parental Alienation, and Healing

Across faith traditions, the message is consistent:
love does not disappear, justice matters, and healing is possible.

📖 Biblical wisdom reminds us that broken bonds can be restored and that God is close to the brokenhearted:

“He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.” — Malachi 4:6
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” — Psalm 34:18

☪️ Qur’anic wisdom emphasizes justice, patience, and reconciliation:

“Whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is with Allah.” — Qur’an 42:40
“No soul bears the burden of another.” — Qur’an 6:164

These verses reflect a shared truth:
children should not carry adult conflict, and dignity, restraint, and healing matter — for fathers and families alike.
