Hello All
The Victoria Derbyshre TV program on BBC2 today, 9.15am, have been discussing Parent Alienation and changes required to the law. Well worth a listen.
Thanks
And all you get is a case where they are describing a father doing the alienation of the mother, completely one sided as usual, makes my blood boil!!!
I was going to watch it on catch up....but now you've said that I won't bother! Just so typical of the one sided journalism we get spoon fed these days.
It's infuriating painting the father to be the nutcase as usual and it's focused purely on divorce cases not on the general breakdown of a relationship I've had to switch it off I ended up shouting and screaming at the TV.
lol
Yes, it is a little bit like watching/listening to a broadcast on breast cancer - with men used for the "case studies" (yes men get breast cancer....but far less common compared to female breast cancer)
While of course men can be alienators too - the *fact* women are more frequently the resident parent after divorce or separation - means the majority of cases are resident parent (woman) alienating children from NRP (fathers).
It is good that mainstream UK may finally catch up with much of the world in recognising this as emotional child abuse.
Here is a link to the video programme
My grandson told me that he can't play with daddy, because mommy said daddy is naughty, he is not nice. She also told him not to sleepover at daddy's, to ask to come home, At the same time we were being told this, she was at the police station trying to get my son reported for being violent to her and the child, during their relationship. This relationship had been over for 2 years, she failed to tell the police that there had been a 2 year court case, where all the claims of violence had been dismissed. She ended up being told off for wasting police time. The police were told about the alienation (which we had recorded) they told my son to inform NSPCC as emotional child abuse. He did, they asked for loads of info. Which was supposedly passed on to children service. He never heard from children service, just from the ex telling him he didn't understand the trouble he had caused by going to them. When he phoned them, turns out they had not had or read the full facts and just phoned the ex to ask if she needed help/support. They then tried to threaten to investigate him fully. Clearly they had been told the violence story. He told them to go ahead and investigate him. We heard no more. The ex continues to fill his head with rubbish , he is just 4 !! To the point we are now looking for professional help for him.
This is amazing. My wife and I are experiencing major issues with Parental Alienation it is seriously affecting both my children. We feel totally trapped and unable to do anything. We have thought about contacting agencies such as the NSPCC, but live in fear of everything being turned around on us - which is of course the modus operando of an alienator!
We must keep fighting this cause!
