If your parents split when you were 5yrs+ (so a bond was already there) and one parent continually alienated you against the other parent, who you still saw minimally through law and who offered an environment with no emotional blackmail or pressure...
...contact was then lost when you turned 16+ as you're still living at home with the alienator, and there is no legal requirement for you to see the other parent...so contact drops as alientator won't facilitate contact.
...when you eventually left home, did you ever come to realise there are 2 sides to every story and that everyone is a victim?
Has anyone come to realise that their parent alienated them and actively prevented them having a relationship with the other parent?
If so, what happened next?
I would like to know if there is ever a happy ending?
Or is the alienated parent forever cast away?
Or is the parent who alienated, playing a risk that the children won't figure out what they did which could potentially harm their own relationship?
Or have you succeeded in having an adult relationship with both parents?
I ask, as I unfortunately know someone who has been alienated and see how this affects the wider family/friends also, but more importantly see that it is the children themselves that suffer and who have been denied so much.
I will be very saddened but also grateful if this thread receives responses.
