Parental Alienation

Lets talk Stats.
Children without the benefit of both parents are

• 4.6 times more likely to commit suicide,
• 6.6 times to become teenaged mothers (if they are girls),
• 24.3 times more likely to run away,
• 15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders,
• 6.3 times more likely to be in a state-operated institutions,
• 10.8 times more likely to commit rape,
• 6.6 times more likely to drop out of school,

• 15.3 times more likely to end up in prison while a teenager.

AND - compared to children who are in the care of two biological, married parents - children who are in the care of one parent are:
• 33 times more likely to be seriously abused (so that they will require medical attention), and

• 73 times more likely to be killed.["Marriage: The Safest Place for Women and Children", by Patrick F. Fagan and Kirk A. Johnson, Ph.D. Backgrounder #1535.]

This is why we fight for the rights of our children to have a relationship with both parents.

Parental Alienation Syndrome in the News

clipper's remarks: In some small way - it makes other fathers who are experiencing this terrible and distructive behavior from a bitter and vengeful ex-spouse.

While I absolutely condemn Baldwin's angry phone message to his daughter, I defend Baldwin's overall position in this case. I consider Kim Basinger's long, well-documented Parental Alienation campaign against Baldwin to be far more damaging to their daughter Ireland than Baldwin's angry outburst, and believe that Basinger has put Baldwin in an extremely difficult and painful position.

Parental Alienation Syndrome Story

clipper's remarks: This IS a form of Child Abuse

Clip Source: divorcepapers.wordpress.com

As many of you readers know - there is nothing like the nurturing bond that a parent feels for their children. After spending nearly five years as the Work-At-Home Father, tending daily to the needs and schedules of the kids - it is entirely gut-wrenching to stand here powerless as my angry and spiteful ex-wife engages in all the painful and destructive behaviours of Parental Alienation Syndrome.

Alec Baldwin- My idol.

clipper's remarks: Yep, sounds like most divorces.

"Parental Alienation campaigns such as what Kim has done to Alec Baldwin are very common. This campaign that she has done for the past six years has been so bad that even Basinger's mother has come out and condemned her daughter, and said that Alec is a good father, that he loves his daughter, that she loves him, and that Kim has done everything she could to drive him out of her life.

brainwashing,
character assassination
the false inducement of fear
incitement of shame,

loss of self control,
flareups of anger,
unconscious alliances with the children against the target parent.
delibrate denigration of the children's relationship with the target parent.

Parental alienation can all be mild, moderate, or extreme. Parental alienation often forces children to choose sides and become allies against the other parent. Children caught in the middle of such conflicts suffer severe losses of love, respect and peace during their formative years. They also often lose their alienated parent forever.

clipper's remarks: As clipped from en.wikipedia.org

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

Parental alienation is a form of relational aggression by one parent against the other parent using their common children. The process can become cyclic with each parent attempting to alienate the children from the other. There is potential for a negative feedback loop and escalation. At other times an affected parent may withdraw leaving the children to the alienating parent. Children so alienated often suffer effects similar to those studied in the psychology of torture.

clipper's remarks: I'm watching it happen.

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

Parental alienation is any behavior by a parent, a child's mother or father, whether conscious or unconscious, that could create alienation in the relationship between a child and the other parent. Parental alienation can be mild and temporary or extreme and ongoing. Most researchers believe that any alienation of a child against (the child's) other parent is harmful to the child and to the target parent. Extreme, obsessive, and ongoing parental alienation can cause terrible psychological damage to children extending well into adulthood. Parental Alienation focuses on the alienating parents behaviour as opposed to the alienated parent's and alienated children's conditions.

clipper's remarks: I always asked myself, Why does "IT HAVE" to be this way. We can change our hearts if we could change our minds. Sad thing is, the children are the most damaged.

The effects of Parental Alienation Syndrome are very similar to the loss of a child due to accident or illness. For the parent who has been alienated from their child, the bereavement does not end. How do we know? Each alienated parent separately, and all of us collectively have lived with both the cause and the effect of Parental Alienation for countless years. Like a terminally fatal childhood disease, Parental Alienation rips the innocent child from your arms slowly. You witness the suffering. You witness the effects. You can feel the impending doom is inevitable, but you are powerless to do anything about it. You try remedy after remedy hoping that one will finally rid your child of the "disease". You work like a person possessed in order to finance the efforts, and when the final blow comes, it is emotionally devastating. You question yourself. You blame yourself for the loss. You tell yourself you should have done more.

Feeling Powerless for Peacebuilding?

clipper's remarks: ...Real powerlessness in society as well as the surplus powerlessness we impose on ourselves, Lerner says, comes from repressing our fundamental social essence. Our desires for fullness and joy and community get repressed, but they can never be fully extinguished. The alienation in this society is overwhelming —and it cannot be ignored, he says. But precisely because denial of our fundamental human needs hurts so much, there is continual hope that we will break through our isolations and connect with each other in a deeper way and find ways to change the larger situation.

Lerner says we live in a repressive society which diminishes our humanity. He says there are very real reasons for feeling oppressed—conditions in society such as parental neglect, poverty, crummy television, the power and willingness of corporations to destroy our environment, etc.

feelings of powerlessness and isolation lead to cynicism, which further subjects us to the very forces that control our lives. We begin to accept our enslavement as just the way things are and there’s nothing a person can do about it. By adopting an attitude that “this is just the way things are and can’t be changed,” we further enslave ourselves. And we fail to take action to change the system.

Instead of sharing our unhappiness, we stuff it, blame ourselves for our lack of fulfillment, and succumb to stress related diseases—cancer, heart disease, headaches, and a variety of other health problems that have been proven to be linked to the way we live and the way we think.
