Surviving the Pain of Parental Alienation Part 1

How do I survive the pain of Parental Alienation?

People contact us from around the world on a daily basis looking for help, resources, encouragement, facts, laws and strategies. But the one overriding theme and prevailing question that we receive more than any other is How do I survive the horrifying and life-changing affects that my child and I have experienced because of parental alienation?

This site is filled with a plethora of resources and suggestions for addressing multiple facets of the complex problem of PA. But no matter where you’re at in your personal journey ultimately you need to be able to understand, address and survive the brutal onslaught of attack, conflict and loss associated with this form of abuse.

Regardless of whether you end up maintaining a positive relationship with your children, or end up losing all contact with them, your life and relationship with them will never be the same. The bad news is that there is no going back. The good news is that after the dust has settled, they may well realize that you are the safe and sane parent and the alienator is not. Once you overcome attempts by the alienating parent to damage or destroy your relationship with your child, you may develop an even deeper bond of love and mutual respect than before.

But even in the best case, you will still need to deal with the fallout of negative emotions that are associated with going through this type of trauma. And in a worst case scenario, you will have lost the love, respect and many times all contact with your child. And most likely, you will have invested every dime you have trying to obtain “justice” in court along the way.

Let’s look at the typical stages and progression of events in a severe case of alienation.
