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

Here we go and grow again!

Left my vacation at the condo at the beach this morning to pick you up at school for our regular visit today, only to find out that you were absent today again. This is becoming a habit. It won't be long before the school steps in to report your habitual absences to Social Services. Your grades are dropping fast and you get angry when I talk to you about them, ask how I can help? When you needed help in the past, I tried to help you but met great resistance from you. I hired a tutor. This was above and beyond my legal obligations, above the child support that I DO PAY! I cared more about you and your growth. You have said that it is not my business because you don't live with me.
You are wrong, it is my business because I worry about your future and simply put, I AM YOUR FATHER and THAT MAKES IT MY BUSINESS!

Where do you learn this dis-respect? How did you learn to talk this way?

In the past when you have told untruths, I have been diplomatic about it. When you have stolen from me, I have been diplomatic about that too! Where do you learn to lie and steal? You didn't learn it from me or from anyone associated with me.

I am proud of you that you have been able to semi-cope with all that you have been through. I am not happy that you continue to lie and steal from us and that does not make me proud.

I still love you even when you are the way you are towards me.

I LOVE YOU>DAD
