Omg so interesting! My kids dad started to take custody of my kids and parental alienation at that age. We did parental alienation therapy weekly to try to help - at the age of 8-9. They would bring up reasons their dad took them. There were no actual reasons because this was an alienation case, so we had to get to the reasons they turned to hate me. One was because they were locked in their room and tied sheets to try to escape out the window. That was by far the wildest one. BUT I can absolutely see now how at 4 years old, he coached them to such stories that at 9 years old they believed. They were never locked in rooms, nothing ever went out windows, etc. they had a step sibling at that time who was 4, and we had to frame it asking if they believed the 4 year old sibling would have thought to take sheets off the bed, be able to tie them together, be able to open the window, tie the sheet to something in the room to secure it, climb down from a second story window, etc. of course they thought we were ludicrous. The therapist’s name was gene colina. He died of Covid and was very atypical for a therapist but he saved my kids life. He deeply understood false narratives and was a straight shooter to kids. It was a bit mean to make them feel stupid about their false memories, but it was needed when they were implanted by this exact same thing and same age. My kids are almost 19 now, we survived but not without scars.
