[Solved] Parental Alienation Syndrome

Has anyone come across this condition? There is a raft of information about it on the net. I discovered it by accident in the Letters column in the Daily Mail one day.

As like most of these syndromes, it started in USA. Courts became aware that fathers were being wrongly excluded from their children's lives, and that, although apparently hostile to contact with the father, the children resumed a normal happy relationship with him if taken from the clutches of the brainwashing mother. Courts have thus been ordering children to stay with fathers, where requested by them, against the children's wishes, in order for some semblance of normality to return. The experiment has been extremely successful.

Apparently the practise is just beginning to have a limited momentum now with English Court, but I'm in Northern Ireland, and may as well be in the Dark Ages. I have spent thousands winning court battles, yet having less and less contact with my children? My ex defies Court Orders with impunity, and gets away with it. My children are being psychologically affected by it all. From their birth, I was the main carer. My ex was a high flying executive and I was happy to take the role of house husband, even though I also had a business to run. My ex has lied to get all the child credits, child benefit, etc, when they were living with me for 75% of the time. I was paying for everything for them, yet she reported me to CSA who take a further £500 off me each month when I never owed a penny? And of course she took the house which been paid for mainly be me and most of my belongings. That's justice for you.
