There is a time when the alienated child just cannot hear anything that is contrary to what their alienating parent has told them. It’s just too confusing. It means undoing all that programming, picking through all the lies, and manipulation, the denial of a relationship with a loved parent, and all the sadness and guilt associated with the way they were coerced into behaving. There may be times when a child can’t bear to hear ‘I love you’ from a parent they’ve rejected. It can potentially create anxiety, with the result the child may even reject the parent more. Sometimes, the attempt to make regular and/or daily contact with an alienated child has even been misconstrued as harassment. It is beyond cruel to not be able to tell our loved ones that we love them, but we have to wait for the right moment, the right conditions. That’s not normal, but it’s where we’re at, and learning about this pathology, much of which is counter-intuitive, is, I hope, helpful, which is why I post every day. It’s a ‘handle with care’ situation.
If you are going through parental alienation, know you’re not alone. I’ve been through it myself. Personally and professionally, I have over 20 years of experience. I am reunited with my children and here to offer support with daily posts on social media and also with the coaching I offer. Feel free to reach out to me anytime.
