In many ways, the alienated child, however long they cut off emotionally, and for however long, knows they have our love. It’s a given. But they’re not secure in the love of the alienating parent, and they’ve been told they’re the ‘all and everything’ and filled with negative thoughts and beliefs about the ‘target’ parent. It’s confusing, upsetting, and psychologically abusive. They start to doubt their feelings and beliefs. They trauma bond with the alienating parent for fear of losing both parents. For fear the alienating parent might be right. And yet, deep down, when they allow themselves – and are brave enough to face it, overcoming the feeling of guilt, and the fear/control of the alienating parent – they know you love them. Sometimes they don’t know it on a conscious level, or they ‘cut off’ and psychologically ‘split’ in order to comply with the alienating parent and feel safe somewhere, but on an unconscious level, where there was once love, there is still LOVE. Let’s hope they can be open to it, take off the bandaid of control/fear, and feel it. They are truly more loved than they (allow themselves) to know. Never give up hope. Near or far, think of them with love.
