When it comes to divorce and suspecting parental alienation

You Are Not Alone
Pain
Heartbreak
Depression
Even suicide has been linked to parental alienation

PLEASE seek emotional support and clarity as this action represents 'taking care of yourself', a very important element to incorporate into your life.

Joining a Men's or Women's group also a Divorce support group can prove extremely beneficial, for you and ultimately your child/ren

Helpful Tips

Remain even-tempered, logical and keep your emotions under control. Never retaliate. A person who reacts in anger is proving the alienator's point that he or she is unstable.


Don't live a victim's life


Persevere in demonstrating that you are rational, reasonable, and have the best interest of the children at heart.



Always call or show up to pick up the children, even if you knew that the children won't be there. This is often very painful, but then you would document that you tried, when the alienator alleged that this parent had no interest in the child.


Having thoughts of giving up is not uncommon - stay the course



Help from a skilled family lawyer who has experience with parent alienation syndrome is good advise


Keep a diary or journal of key events, describing what happened and when.



Focus on enjoying your childrens company
