The Puppet Master

Avery Oakes is a passionate advocate for parents destroyed by the family court system. Her husbands experiences have inspired her to write a compelling narrative that reveals the truth about parental alienation and systemic failures.

She said he was dangerous. The court believed her.

No proof. No investigation. No questions.

What followed was over two years of false accusations, erased memories, and the complete dismantling of a devoted father by a woman who knew exactly how to exploit the system.

Eric, an Army veteran and loving parent, was labeled a threat without evidence. Silenced in court. Supervised like a criminal. And forced to watch his daughters slip away, while being ordered to fund the life they were living without him.

Through relentless emotional abuse, Tammy systematically alienated her children from the only people who ever truly loved them.

Tammy was at the center of everything. She didn’t just lie; she performed. Her tears were calculated. Her words were rehearsed. She manipulated therapists, judges, doctors, and especially her own children. No one investigated the claims she made. No one held her in contempt when she ignored court orders. She was never questioned, only believed.

This wasn’t a custody battle.

This was a calculated erasure of a father.

And it is happening every day.

Told by Avery Oakes, the stepmother who witnessed it all, The Puppet Master is a blistering exposé of a broken family court system, a haunting truth based on real events, and a devastating account of what happens when the wrong parent is protected, and the right one is erased.

If you’ve ever been erased, broken by the family court system, or punished for telling the truth, this book is for you.
