Fake Love and Flying Monkeys

How Domestic Violence and High-Conflict Divorce Harm Children: w/ AJ Gajjar

Nova Gibson/AJ Gajjar Season 2 Episode 24

“Children are often the silent victims in homes filled with conflict and control.”

In this important episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I'm joined by AJ Gajjar, Parenting and Trauma Consultant and creator of the Trauma Healing Parenting model. Together, we explore how domestic violence, high-conflict divorce, and coercive parenting impact children—and what parents and professionals can do to protect and empower them.

You’ll learn:

How children are affected by emotional abuse and toxic family dynamics

The hidden signs of coercive control and manipulative parenting

Why traditional parenting advice doesn’t work in high-conflict situations

Practical strategies for helping children heal from trauma

How to build resilience and emotional safety in children during and after abuse


AJ draws on over 18 years of experience in child development and mental health, as well as her lived experience, to share tools that truly support kids navigating ongoing relational harm.

“You don’t need to be a perfect parent. You just need to be a protective one.”

Whether you're a parent, professional, or survivor, this episode offers validation, insight, and actionable guidance to help children feel safe, seen, and supported.
