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

Globetrotters

In 1999 during a telephone conversation with you Matthew, I told you that I was going to take you to see the Harlem Globtrotters at the LJVM. You were really excited. I bought the tickets and then had to tell you that I wouldn't be able to take you. I recorded that conversation in which you were heartbroken...and so was I. Since you and I had gone to Charlotte Hornet's and Bulls game for MJ's last game, I instantly knew that you would want to see the Globetrotters.

That was many of the disappointments yet to come. You learned that your loyalties were with your mom very early on. I never attempted to place you in a position where you had to choose. I lost you because of it.

I still have the un-used Globtrotter tickets. Though they will never be used without you, I keep them along with the other momentos. The memory was triggered by an advertisement on tv tonight.

Brooke, It is time for me to call you for the Thursday night 7:30 telephone contact that we have yet to have. Will this be the night?

I love you,
DAD
