In many cases I’ve worked with, this realisation comes too late and the target parent cannot effect communication anymore.

If the idiot governments of this world made maintenance payments dependent upon access, we’d see far less cases of alienation

Even worse, the harder you fight, the more you’re children are pressured, threatened, and bullied by the alienator.

Targeted parents can feel this conflict hurting their children and take all that pain into themselves. Many targeted parents, realizing that the family court is never going to truly intervene choose to walk for no other reason than to spare their children any additional bullying and alienation abuse.

I lost one child to parental alienation via social services and judicial corruption. It is utterly devastating. I don’t know if it is for her, probably not yet, maybe one day. Her formative years were stolen from me by, what surely must be, psychopaths. I would rather lose a limb than a child, that would be far easier to deal with.

And now, my other child, the only reason I kept going, is being subjected to the same. I know exactly the process and exactly the stages. He’s not gone yet, but his mother is working on it. He’s coercively controlled and abused daily. I’m on the verge of walking away to save the horror that is about to destroy both of us over the next year or so. But of course walking away is horror too, just a quicker death.

There is little support for parents who go through this. Nothing at all for fathers. I was a good father too. All the right things. Gave love, warmth, connection, time, education, guidance, empathy, respect. A modern father. Who, in the end, along with two lovely children, is savaged by society and the wrong choice of mother.

Until society realises women kill in different ways, and do it often, because it is condoned, good fathers and children will live lives of pain and die deaths of despair.
