You really need to read this blog so that you can see just how PAS can effect a person well into there adult life. I have to praise the Angry Daughter coming forward with her story.
In the Angry Daughter's blog description she writes, "This blog is about my childhood dealing with PAS Parental Alienation Syndrome cause by my mother. I am 32 years old now & it still effects my life. To those who say there is no such thing you have no clue what you are talking about or maybe you don't want it to be recognized because you are the one's doing it to your kids. My heart aches for those children that get caught in the middle & are treated like a weapon against their other parent."
The angry daughter's story is very real. The following is a poem that she wrote and posted.

Poem To My Mother (From the Angry Daughter)
When you look in the mirror,
Who do you see?
Is it the person you want to be?
Or is it some one whom you do not know.
All of these lies that you know are not so.
Created from hatred revenge & spite.
Why do you bother you have lost this fight...
I have told you time & time again.
I will not rest until the vary end.
Rising above all that is untrue you have told.
Tearing down your lies with every thing that I hold.
I will not be silenced,
I will scream it from afar.
A stronger person I will always be.
For I had to live with a mother like she...

So with this said, please think about what you say to your children about their other parent.
Parental alienation is real and affecting countless parents, children and extended family members every year.

Parental Alienation is REAL. I don't believe it is a "Syndrome," per se, but rather a system of causes and effects. Naturally the child trusts the Alienating parent, to the extent that they rely on them for care, nourishment, support, love, etc. Of course, they will believe a clever, embittered alienating parent when they craft lies about the target parent. Somebody should tell Master L. Greene(NH Family court) to stop talking for once and to sit back and listen - and that PA exists, not as a "syndrome" or a disorder, but rather as a life-threatening psychological infection that CAN be controlled, prevented, and with a prudent judge, can be mitigated by court order.
ReplyDeleteThe savage tug-of-war parents play with each demanding their children take their side against the other is tragic and life-scarring. That's WITHOUT throwing the courts in to the mix. Then it's evidently Parental Alienation, with court-ordered custody being the holy grail. The courts just exacerbate the problem. My parents fought their wars without dragging their kids in to custody battles. And I've been able to stay out of it as an adult, but at the cost of courtship, sex, companionship, and having much trust of the opposite sex. This is what two people get when they can't settle their differences between them, and are able to hold The State up as a weapon over the other.
