Its a smaller and smaller world every day. Our children will be more connected with other places and people more than we ever were or are today. We need to work together as a one-world society on Global protection of our children and their rights.
Hi Patrick, the pictures of your beautiful baby have brught tears to my eyes. As I told so many people on our site how sad divorce is, how the kids suffer. If only people who get divorced stop and think first about their children instead of being ...
Hi Charla... Narcissism is another character trait of most alienating parents. Along with insecurity, control issues, manipulation, etc....
It's my belief that all alienating parents have more and deeper psychological issues...depression, bi-polar...
Hi Patrick, the pictures of your beautiful baby have brught tears to my eyes. As I told so many people on our site how sad divorce is, how the kids suffer. If only people who get divorced stop and think first about their children instead of being selfish and worrying about themselves. I live in Johannesburg South Africa, my ex husband has my daughters who he has kept from me for over 7 years. I am an amazing mother and have 3 older children with my ex. I cannot begin to tell you how heartbroken I am. My ex has totally brainwashed my girls and now they dont even want to talk to me. They believe that I abandoned them and dont want them. He is sick and has a lot of answering to do. I just can fight him through the court system any longer. I wish you well and pray that everything works out for you. Take care Merley (Johannesburg South Africa)
Thanks for asking... there is always lots of news on my case. I make the news myself. We all need to realize this is not a situation for anyone to remain passive at all ...we cant wait to hear things , we have to go out and make it happen. You will definitely end up a victim of the system if you allow it to just happen...we all have to learn to be pro-active.
I am fighting on several fronts at once. The news I will offer right now is that I just got back from Washington DC again. I spent 12 days there starting the day after the elections.
We have a new president and I have been working with his Senate office for 2 years now...I wanted to make sure that I could keep the dialogue going once they all go behind the White House curtain. It was a celebratory time for all of them obviously...and interesting for me to see much of the behind the scenes activity immediately following the election. I spent every day on Capitol Hill and with various think-tanks as well. So we also have a new crop of Congressmen and Senators. And we have lots of legislators moving offices, lots of re-structuring on most of the Committee's , and all of the political appointee's preparing to leave and be replaced. Basically, it's a bit of a chaotic time there. On some fronts we have to start all over again there. So my efforts on this recent trip was to continue the work with all of the offices where my work is progressing ...and make sure it stays on top of the piles on everyones desks when all of the new people come in and try to figure out what needs attention.
I would welcome the support of anyone who wants to engage with their federal legislators.

I think I've only read Gardner's stuff on the internet but I have read Darnell's "Casualties of Divorce" and Warshak's "Divorce Poison", and of course Amy's book. I think I have a pretty thorough understanding of what is going on. I just wish there was something more I could do but I am pretty certain that at this point I have to wait it out until my boys are old enough and mature enough to see what was going on. My 13yo daughter is beginning to see and I am focusing now and trying to prevent the same thing from happening to her and my youngest son who is 9yo.
I forgot to ask what PAAO or SPAC is. I work 12hour night shifts and I am on my 5th in a row so I am a little sleep deprived. I have found lots to read about PAS but I haven't found anything like this group until now. In fact, except for the counselors I was involved with I haven't found anyone who had heard of PAS. My daughter was told last week by her stepmother that she needs to start giving me a hard time so that I will tire of her and let her go live with them. Nice!! Colleen
