    I am so happy to find this website and look forward to help getting through this never ending chaos as our divorce was final in feb 2017

  5. Victoria Bennett

    I am thrilled to find your support. Is finding a sponsor possible?

    • Hi Victoria,

      Finding a sponsor is definitely possible.

      You will need to attend regular meetings. Most people find sponsors and support in the meetings, after 4-6 meetings I can help connect you with some folks if you haven’t made a connection already. It takes this amount of time for folks to get acclimated to meetings and have some sort of consistency.

      hope to see you at meeting:))

    My alienation started 13 years ago and has progressed to full alienation since July 2018. I had no contact with my children from July 2018 until March of 2021. I was wrongfully accused of molesting my son and now I’m being falsely accused of helping him run away. My contact with two of my three kids has once again been cut off since mid August. The stress of all this is causing me to become physical I’ll. I was told by my doctor that if I don’t get rid of this stress I will become worse and it will more than likely kill me. I’m getting ready to walk away. I’ve mourned my children once and I’m going to do it again. No parent should have to go through this!

    • HI Jamie,
      It sounds like an awfully painful road that you are navigating. I totally relate.

      My whole body started to shut down 8 years ago so I get what you are going through and what your doctor is suggesting. I had to start to do my own work, I could no longer get caught up in my narrative. I needed to take my life back. I did that through support group meetings, working the 12 steps, therapy, meditation nd other self care strategies. I feel great and I do not have my kids back, I miss them everyday but I have tools that I rely on and folks in my PA community that I support and get support from.

      The group meetings are free and a great place to start working on yourself. It is not a silver bullet, it is work and commitment. I hope to see you at a meeting.

      there is sunlight at the end of the tunnel, it doesn’t look exactly how I thought it would it still keeps me warm:))

    My adult daughter, only child has consistently cut me off from my grandsons because I sent an email saying how hurt/pain I have felt for the past 9 1/2 years being treated as second best. The other grandparents are placed first and I finally let her know 9/7/2021. I am cut off; she won’t answer calls, texts or emails. I have apologized to her and her husband. All I do is cry, stare into space and feel helpless

    • That sounds so incredibly painful and lonely. I too am a grand parent and parent. My only suggestion is to try some of the 12 step support group meetings. The have saved my life, I know longer feel so alone and isolated.

      The program is not to recover your grandkids and kids it’s to recover a relationship with yourself. By us doing our own inter-personal work it gives us an opportunity to have a healthier richer lives with our family. It is hard but so worth it. I hope to see you at a meeting

  8. Jeanette

    Please I need a better understanding and support

    • Hi Jeanette, the best advise I can give you is come to the support group meetings. I suggest 3-4 a week for a month at least and then 2 a week after that. They have saved my life but it takes a lot of work and commitment. They are not a quick fix. Send an email via contact on the website to be included on the weekly email with meeting times and links.

      good luck

    Hi, I’m in the UK but wandered wether I could still receive the newsletter or if you could provide me with any advice please or a UK alternative that may be able to help. My Ex is alienating my daughter from me and her maternal family network and support.

    Thank you.

    I have been subjected to horrible parental alienation. My ex-husband started a campaign against me since my children were toddlers. It has grown to where I have had virtually no contact with my children since COVID-19 began. He began grooming the children early on that I was crazy as I have bipolar. They mimicked what he would say to me. He had me falsely arrested for domestic battery when he was abusing me, physically hurting me and cheating on me. I was the one who called the police as he was getting abusive again and was arrested. Following that, there was a CPS investigation and I couldn’t see my kids for 2 weeks. Of course, since I have never done anything to hurt my children, CPS had not no findings. My ex also dropped the false charges of domestic violence. My ex-husband is a powerful and very wealthy attorney and has used this to gain the favor of not only the Court but of my children. He has bought them expensive cars and $600 shoes all in an effort to gain their favor. Things that I could never afford.

    We were ordered to co-parent and I did. I passed all information on about the children to him no matter what it was. He has not co-parented one time. I have never been informed of vacations, illnesses, doctor visits, hospital admissions, calls from teachers. Nothing.

    I have suffered in agony since the beginning of COVID 19 when everything really ramped up & he was no longer compliant with the court ordered parenting plan and visitation schedule. He at no time has enforced their visitation and theatened that if I came to his house he would call the police for trespass. So, I called my kids about 3xs a week & continued to ask to see them every weekend , always being met with unanswered calls and nos to my wanting to see them. I advised my ex-husband all along that they are not complying and that he was in contempt. He even filed a false affidavit with the court and he’s a lawyer.

    Now, my daughter is 19 & never talk to her and my son is turning 18 next month. I know it is my fault for letting this go but I could deal with the rejection let alone having to battle in court with no finances to do so. My could have and did spend an extraordinary amount of money to make this happen. He promised he would ruin my life for the rest of my life. And he has. I haven’t been able to hold a job, I’ve become a recluse, I’m alienating everyone in my life and I am alone. No one seems to want to help or even understand how I am feeling….not even my family.

    I feel I am going die alone in the world and feel hopeless and like there is no reason to live or that I have a future. My mother also just passed and this has doubled my feelings of loss. I am basically non-functioning at this time.

    I’m having an issue because my son’s mom thinks that she can control when I speak to my son she has law enforcement against me telling me that if I try to talk to my son and everything it is harassment I’ve submitted court papers just waiting on a court date I have bought my son a phone in the tablet and those have been returned to me telling me that I’m not allowed to talk to him and everything I’ve been told that asking where my child is I don’t have the right knowing that she takes him around known sex offenders and drug addicts and drug abusers and child abusers but I don’t have the right to know or to talk to him I need help with this I have paperwork submitted into the courts to for family court but I’m lost I’m concerned and especially cuz law enforcement is not doing anything they’re backing her up saying that what she is doing is legal and she has the right to keep me from talking to my son in anyway
