Parental Alienation

Parental Alienation is becoming a very big problem for our children of divorce.

Parental alienation involves the systematic brainwashing and manipulation of children with the sole purpose of destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent.

This means that through verbal and non verbal actions and mannerisms, a child is emotionally abused (brainwashed) into thinking the other parent is the enemy. This ranges from bad mouthing the other parent in front of the children, to withholding visits, to pre-arranging the activities for the children while visiting with the other parent.

Alienated children can experience low self-esteem, self-destructive behaviors, anger, aggression, cruelty, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, SELF-MUTALIATION and may have suicidal tendencies.

Below you will find listings we found in the dictionary for alienation. Young minds are very easily swayed, and if you do it over and over it becomes a reality for the young children that are being emotionally torn away from a parent or grandparent.

We would like to invite you into the world of “Parental Alienation”
Here we will provide you with links to various states and organizations, in hopes of giving you what you need to educate yourself on the “DO NOT DO'S” of “Parental Alienation”.

Your children are counting on you to be there for them. “BOTH OF YOU”

They need the love and guidance and understanding of both parents. We do understand there are times when one parent or the other should not be in a child's life for certain reasons. However the alienation of a parent because of hate and revenge or even jealousy is not the way to raise your child and then send them out into this world.
Our goal is to include as much information as we can to help you understand the traumatic effects of “Parental Alienation” on your child.

The biggest and most important thing we need to remember is:

YOUR CHILDREN ARE VERY CAPABLE OF LOVING AND BEING LOVED BY MORE THAN ONE PERSON. THEY NEED YOU AND THEY NEED THEIR OTHER PARENT – THEY NEED THEIR GRANDPARENTS AND THEY HAVE ROOM FOR STEP-PARENTS AND STEP-GRANDPARENTS.

 YOUR CHILDREN ARE FAR MORE CAPABLE THAN MOST ADULTS IN LOVING AS MANY PEOPLE AS NECESSARY, IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY .
