About Amanda Sillars

Lived Experience

Amanda Sillars has the lived experience of being alienated from her mother during childhood (her mother tragically took her life) and then alienated from her children in adulthood, now reunified. She has helped countless individuals affected by parental alienating behaviours through her support groups, education and advocacy. Amanda is at the tail end of a bachelor of psychological science and has begun a master's in mental health.

Regularly Consulted as an Expert

Amanda is the founder of the Eeny Meeny Miney Mo Foundation and the creator of the Australian Parental Alienation Awareness Day, on the 12th of October. Amanda is regularly consulted as an emerging subject matter expert in this field. Amanda's goal, and that of the Eeny Meeny Miney Mo Foundation, is to educate parents, Family Court and mental health practitioners on parental alienating behaviours, the dynamics, processes and profiles, and the trauma, stress, and lifelong impact it has on children.

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.
