Reverse Pattern exists to empower individuals whose lives have been derailed by false allegations, manipulated legal systems, or weaponized narratives.
We believe that truth has a pattern—and so does deception. Our mission is to help people recognize that pattern, reverse it, and reclaim their voice.
We provide resources, education, and community for those facing wrongful accusations, coercive legal tactics, or systems that reward the loudest story rather than the accurate one. We amplify the experiences of those who have been silenced or disbelieved, and we work to restore balance by promoting transparency, accountability, and evidence-based advocacy.
At Reverse Pattern, we champion fairness in every forum—courts, agencies, workplaces, and families. We support parents fighting to remain in their children’s lives, individuals navigating reputational harm, and anyone who has been pulled into a system that mistakes accusation for truth.
Most importantly, we create a space where people can finally be heard.
Because when the story about you is wrong, the only way forward is to reverse the pattern.
We don’t offer generic advice or outrage. We focus on helping you understand how the systems around you work and how to organize your documents, timelines, and communications so you can present your side clearly and responsibly.
We recognize that real abuse exists and deserves a serious response. We also know that false or distorted allegations can devastate families. Reverse Pattern is about truth, due process, and long-term safety and stability for children in high-conflict cases.
You were suddenly painted as dangerous or unstable when separation or divorce began. Temporary orders, emergency motions, or one-sided reports are now being used to control your time with your children or to justify cutting you out of major decisions.
You’re dealing with a 209A / protection order or criminal charges that don’t match what actually happened. You may feel like the court only hears one story, and every hearing seems to make the “official” version more extreme.
DCF/CPS, schools, or clinicians are writing things about you that feel incomplete or misleading. Reports, “safety plans,” and emails are piling up, and you’re worried those documents will define you more than the reality your children live in.
Plain-language breakdowns of how family courts, criminal cases, and child-protection agencies work and how they interact. No legal jargon for its own sake—just enough detail so you can understand what’s happening and why.
Checklists, incident-log templates, and document-organization tips to help you track events, contradictions, and timelines in a way that attorneys, GALs, clinicians, and judges can actually use.
Anonymized experiences and research that show how these situations often unfold, plus concrete questions to bring to your own lawyer or therapist so you’re not walking into key meetings unprepared.
It’s normal to feel panicked, angry, or desperate. Firing off texts, emails, or social media posts—especially about the other party—almost always makes things worse. Take a breath, read any orders or paperwork carefully, and give yourself a little space before responding.
Even if the story about you is completely wrong, the fastest way to lose ground is by violating a court order or ignoring conditions of release. Follow the orders exactly, keep all written communications respectful and brief, and assume a judge may one day read anything you send.
From this moment forward, preserve everything: texts, emails, call logs, screenshots, school notes, and court documents. Begin a simple timeline of events in your own words while details are still fresh. You can refine it later—what matters now is that the facts don’t live only in your memory.
One of the hardest parts of being falsely or unfairly portrayed is feeling like nobody wants to hear your side. If you choose to share your experience with Reverse Pattern, you’re not shouting into the void. Your story can help show how these patterns actually play out in real lives, not just on paper.
How Your Story May Be Used
When you submit your story, I may:
I can’t promise that I’ll be able to respond to every submission or take on every case, but I do treat these stories as real people with real stakes—not just “data.”

Hear directly from a survivor of parental alienation.
From the Child's Perspective
The Anti-Alienation Project was founded by a courageous young woman, Madi. When Madi was nine years old her parents got divorced, and her mother made her believe her dad was abusive, bad and didn't love her. For the next 20 years Madi rejected her dad, who actually loved her, wanted her in his life, and was never abusive. In 2022, she figured out the truth. In 2023, Madi began the Anti-Alienation Project to raise awareness about parental alienation from a child's point-of-view and has become an amazing resource for others like her, helping them navigate and find support to heal. Please visit Madi's website and consider donating to this worthy cause.
We have no affiliation with Madi or her group. We just think she's great!
Studies have shown a strong link between parental alienation and borderline personality disorder. One study by The Best Interest of the Child Institute published in the Journal of Forensic Psychology and Child Custody included the following findings: "There is lack of knowledge and scientific research about BPD parents in domestic relations and the effect on close family members especially children and spouses who are the true victims. Parental alienation occurs when a BPD parent infuses his or her own negative beliefs into the child. BPD parents have lack of insight and are largely unaware of their own behavior and how that behavior is affecting the child and the other parent. Caution is warranted among judge’s attorneys and custody evaluators for projective identification. This arises since BPD individuals are capable of empathy and emotional manipulation to induce behavior in the others in order to control them." The study's conclusion was: "The failure to identify, diagnose and understand BPD leads to devastating results in the family court and has long term negative effects for the society. Science-based research and collaboration among major academic medical and legal institutions are needed to protect the most vulnerable individuals in family court, namely our children. Only with a scientific approach and full understanding of this severe mental illness can we prevent and intervene in a timely manner."
People with BPD are prone to making false accusations. If your partner exhibits the symptoms of BPD, it is important for you to document anything that may prove your innocence if you get the sense that your partner is accusing you of something you did not do.
