About Amanda Sillars
Leveraging Personal Experience
Drawing on her own deeply personal journey of childhood alienation and the tragic loss of her mother, followed by the experience of adult alienation from her own children—now successfully reunified—Amanda Sillars has navigated the complexities of survival, healing, and family reunification. With a strong ethical commitment to supporting others, she has become a guiding force for many individuals affected by parent-child coerced attachment, coercive control, trauma, and alienation. Through the establishment of support groups, educational initiatives, workshops, and advocacy, Amanda works tirelessly to improve the lives of those facing these challenges. Holding a Bachelor of Psychological Science from Griffith University, she draws upon a strong foundation in human behaviour, mental health, and psychological principles to inform her advocacy and support work.

Losses Experienced by Children Alienated from a Parent
"Being alienated from my mum affected every aspect of my life. I’ve experienced the grief of many losses. I lost my mum. I lost contact with my mum’s side of the family. My dad moved me interstate and overseas, so I lost everything familiar. I felt I had no direction. I couldn’t see myself in the future and I didn’t know where I fitted into this world…I had ongoing emotional pain, not knowing where it was coming from…[I later lost] my mum to suicide, then later in life I was alienated from my own children. The most difficult part was no one around me understood what I was going through." - Amanda Sillars
EMMM Petition
Parental Alienating Behaviours are Child Abuse & Family Violence
This serious form of abuse and family violence can no longer be ignored. Parental alienating behaviours must be acknowledged in Australia as it is in other parts of the world. We need legislation that not only acknowledges its existence but firmly and clearly legislates against it.
