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

Typical Madness

Okay, so you asked me if your friends could spend the night with you the first night of Christmas vacation. I agreed because they are a good influence and it made you happy. Their parents said no so that was that.

 The second night you planned to have your freinds spend the night and that didn't work either. You then asked if you could spend the night with them. I reluctantly agreed and told you that this would be the only night you could spend away from home and you became verbally disrespectful towards me and wouldn't even look at me when I talked to you. I changed my mind about you staying away for the night and told you why I changed my mind.  Later, fearing that I was being a little unreasonable I let you spend the night with them anyway.

Sunday you went to church with them and arrived home afterward. One of your freinds came by and wanted to play. That was okay and you started to leave the house with your dress shoes on. I asked you to get another pair of shoes on and you said your tennis shoes were wet and couldn't wear them. I offered to dry your shoes but you said it wasn't possible. We have bought you shoes and even let you pick out your own.

In the past we have bought you as many as three pairs of shoes at once and sent them home with you. We never saw them again. When we picked you up on Friday past you were wearing a pair of tennis shoes w/o socks, a shirt, a lightweight jacket, and a pair of jogging pants. You will be with us for just over six days. Saturday your shoes were saturated from the snow and ice and you don't want to dry them in the dryer. The only other pair of shoes you have are your dress shoes that we got you last weekend. I would really prefer that you not wear them in the snow and ice as they may likely get ruined.

We will buy you some more durable shoes because we love you and don't want you to go w/o.

Your stepmom and I love you very much.          DAD
