Most people do not have the money for an attorney and experts on PAS. So you get a messed up child and a destroyed relationship.

I'm thinking I'm screwed.

@retroboz Even though experts are extremely helpful, don't underestimate what you can learn from books and online. I listed a couple of books in the sources of this video with great resources, strategies, and ideas to help with parental alienation. Both "Divorce Poison" and "The Custody Revolution" by Dr Richard Warshak are great, and "Divorce Casualties" by Douglas Darnall was a big help as well.

I hope that helps!

Attorneys and psychologists make a bundle off of PAS. Its called parental alienation for a reason, people. The courts, attorneys, and the parent CAUSING the alienation (AKA: narcissists). The only people paying the price is the child and the victim, the targeted parent. Attorneys are bottom feeders. Courts are ruled by bottom feeders. Without parental alienation and child custody battles, the courts would have far less cash inflow and attorneys would be poor.

There's not really much you can do to protect yourself and your child from parental alienation if the offending parent is conniving and skillful enough at manipulation. You can lessen the impact but the emotional pain is still there. The end goal of it all is to make the other parent give up and go away so the offending parent can say, "see, I told you he/she didn't care about you. Now we have each other all to ourselves".

Sadly this works far too often.

female narcissism is an epidemic in the u.s.. very sad the pain thats inflicted with no empathy or remorse on the kids keeping them from communication with the other parent.

in my opinion this video would have come off better without all the hand gesturing...

Well, that's a terrific way to treat the problem. But as ole Ben Franklin said, and ounce of prevention , is worth, in family court a ton of cure. Simply do away with the current winner take all aproach, make joint physical/legal custody rebuttal presumption. More importantly take step to rduce or even eliminate the family courts involvement in the first place. You do that by removing the money, once their is no profits ,the state and courts will bug off.

Ah well nothing much has changed I see. Back when my parents got divorced, in the 80s, there was a movement to paint fathers in divorce as evil. Now we see the backlash, and it's just a mirror image. There is something to the idea of PA, but, the way I see it typically promoted, its a weapon in a pro-father movement. The kids are not the true focus - again, pawns. White or black side, a pawn is still a pawn.

Don't think your kids won't remember and understand when they're adults.

@nymphtalk 80 to 90% of child custody goes to women. 99%+ of alimony is paid by men. 99%+ of child support is paid by men. 93% of workplace dead are men. But you wimminz always have to try and negate these figures by using an un-representative sample of ONE to try and distract men from the truth of the MILLIONS of men who are abused by women.

We are not buying any more. Google "the spearhead"

@peternolan1109 Thanks but this happens to "wominz" too. I am a woman. My husband was arrested twice for DV and still managed to circumvent the order of protection granting me custody because I work in the adult industry.

I miss my three kids as much as you do, and for a woman, disowning the children is not an option. I think it is not an option for most men either.

What to do about PAS is.

1. Leave.

2. Disown the former children.

3. Pay nothing.

4. Refuse to co-operate.

5. Kill anyone who tries to extort money from you by depriving of your liberty until you pay these fake "arrears"

Worked for me.

If you wimminz do not like this forumla? Hold your fellow wimminz as "equal before the law".
