Alienated Parents: The Serenity Prayer, Extended Version for Rejected Parents
June 29, 2010
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.
God I cannot stop manipulative behavior from an ex-spouse. I nor the courts cannot make my ex-spouse, in the privacy of (his or her) own home, stop the chronic denigration. I cannot control the years of emotional abuse my children have endured. I cannot control the distorted black and white thinking my children (or adult children) now have. God they see me as all bad and the other parent as fault free. I only seek balance. I cannot force my kid(s) to stop telling me they hate me, or what a bad (mom or dad) I am. I am only human. And God, while I know they have been taught to reject me–the words still hurt. It is painful to hear you are only being used for your money–that you are not loved.
God I am hurt for the life my children could have had. God please give me peace. I try not to worry about their futures, but I do. God please allow for wisdom; open my ex-spouses eyes. Thinking (he or she) is above the law, by out right defiance of all court orders, does not set a good example for the kids. God please allow my ex-spouse to see that placing the kids in the middle only hurts them. God please give my kids peace; it is okay to love both parents. God please allow insight; my ex-spouse will not stop telling the kids information that is beyond (his or her) years to hear. Some things about a parent, teens should not know.
God please allow my adult child to see that mocking a parent is not your will. God please allow for justice. There are times when custody has been placed in the wrong hands. Please give judges the wisdom to know the difference. Please God allow Parental Alienation to be recognized as a serious form of emotional abuse. God it is not good for society when kids defy laws, defy parents and reject extended family–for no good reason. Please God clear the minds of those that do not understand Parental Alienation and allow them to see that it is emotional abuse; it is not to be viewed as a diversionary tactic.
God please provide wisdom to those in positions to help children and families.
Amen
