Drawing upon her personal journey marked by childhood alienation and the tragic loss of her mother and later experiencing adult alienation from her own children, Amanda Sillars has successfully navigated the path of survival and reunification. With ongoing commitment and dedication, she has become a guiding force for numerous individuals impacted by parental alienating behaviours. Through establishing support groups, educational initiatives, workshops and advocacy efforts, Amanda is actively contributing to the betterment of those affected by these challenges. Amanda holds a Bachelor of Psychological Science from Griffith University, which provides her with a strong foundation in understanding human behaviour, mental health and the psychological principles that inform her advocacy and support work.
As the visionary founder of the Eeny Meeny Miney Mo Foundation and the creative force behind the Australian and New Zealand Parental Alienation Awareness Day promoted on the 12th of October, Amanda is consistently sought after as an emerging subject matter expert and consultant in the domain of child coercive control, narcissistic abuse, gatekeeping and alienating behaviours. Her overarching objective, aligned with the foundation's mission, is to enlighten parents, Family Court professionals and mental health practitioners about the complexities of these harmful and controlling behaviours, encompassing the associated dynamics, processes, profiles, as well as the enduring trauma, stress and lifelong consequences experienced by children.
"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

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.
