Our show will explore Parental Alienation from an old woman's (victim's) view point.
Katrina and I are gonna take a stab at giving you an idea of what Alienation does to a child from the beginning back in the late 1940's and travel the road for 61 years.
I am a firm believer in experience being the best teacher, and even though I would not wish these life experiences on anyone, I do believe that my experiences have made me who I am.
I have also come to the conculsion that if your life feels like a bushel and a peck of lemons, you should take those sour lemons and make lemonade. My lemonade will be to open up my life long experiences and share things that I pray will lead to helping those that struggle trying to understand.
My Mother and I shared a bond that would bring us together in her last years. We never lived together when I was a child, thus she never had a say in my raising, but the love we shared while living through all the alienation and the bond she was able to implement in my first 2 years of life was strong enough to bring us together before she was gone.
I THANK GOD ALMIGHTY FOR THOSE 12 YEARS.
So many times while we struggle to get through our lives, we don't have a clue where some of our thoughts and beliefs come from. In my case it was a bond that my Mother gave the both of us before I was taken from her.
I wasn't taken by CPS or a jealous ex...my mother and I went separated by her second husband and his mother...as well as her very own mother. My Dad decided before I was born that he didn't want to be with us, in the middle of a hard winter in 1948 he kissed my mother good bye and left for work...never to be heard from again. I found his grave in Greasy Creek, Ky. after I was grown and had 2 sons of my own.
FINDING THE GRAVE OF A MISSING PARENT YOU HAVE NEVER MET...IS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE...NO ONE DESERVES TO FIND A MISSING PARENT OR GRANDPARENT THE WAY I FOUND MINE...NO ONE!
I know that education in these areas of alienation and abuse can give psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist and counselors an edge on how to handle families with these problems. However, I am of the firm belief that no one can fully understand the effects of alienation unless they themselves have lived through it and come out on the other side.
I feel as if I have come out on the other side and I want to spend the rest of my life trying to help families understand and live with what has happened to them...but most of all, I want to help parents and grandparents understand why children of alienation do what they do.
