Children Held Hostage: The Day After

Child(ren) Held Hostage

I hope this Blog will prove helpful in the recognition and useful in deterrence of Parental Alienation.

I will undoubtedly be using this blog in part as a therapeutic venue. I will also use this blog as a communication portal to my children if they should choose to use it.

"Parental Alienation is about parents who place their own selfish needs above those of their defenseless children and in doing so, they deny them their right to love and be loved by both parents. Alienators do not fit the stereotype of the deficient and ill-equipment parent. Instead, these parents are generally articulate, resourceful, and competent in all other aspects of their lives – except in the realm of parenting. In fact, these individuals might easily be mistaken for ideal parents, except to the properly informed, because they profess love and concern for their children. What sets these individuals apart from other dysfunctional parents is their overwhelming commitment to meeting their own needs first. In doing so, they destroy the relationship their children have with the other parent – at whatever cost. ” Dr. Reena Sommer - Internationally Recognized Divorce and Custody Consultant

The Day After

It sure was quiet around here without you and all of your friends hangin out. I would much rather have you all here making messes and being loud than to have it so quiet. Do you realise that we won't see each other again for 12 days. In spite of a court order that allows for telephone contact, we will not get to talk again until I pick you up from school in 12 days.
           I have only asked as a minimum that the court order be followed and enforced. I asked for more time with you but it wasn't granted. It seems that the first entered order sets the standard of visitation. About VISITATION, am I in prison or something? How is it that I am granted VISITATION with my own child? How is that possible? I always felt you should have both mom and dad (me) actively involved in your life.
Simply following the order would give me more contact with you than I currently have.
         I have lost faith that our court orders will ever be fully enforced unless I were to show contempt for the order. Of course you would be with me full time if I had it my way! Maybe one day we will have a more normal relationship.

        For now I will continue to expect the worst and pray for the best.
We love you!
                      DAD
