Very depressing article about parental abductions

[SerenityNowAKABleh]

You have to wonder how any parent could do that to their child, and to their former child/spouse? It's craziness.

Yes, I do wonder and I fear my ex could do that.

However, I know somebody who has been giving his wife and DD a horrendously bad time to both mum and child despite they being divorced for several years. NPCS, Social Services, and CAFCASS have been involved without any success in improving their life. The poor woman is now unemployed, in poverty and can't access IS or anything of the sort because she is not British.

If she flies... I would find it difficult to judge her. At the end, she stayed, put her career on hold, agreed to generous access because, as the woman in the article, she thought it was in the best interest of the child to keep in contact with her father.

Terrifying. I do worry about my ex doing this. I was comforting myself that soon she'll be old enough to know her name and to be able to phone me - but this article shows that, in the face of parental alienation, this isn't enough protection. And it's scary that this can still happen years after the marriage breakdown and at at time when the relationship between the parents seems to be fairly amicable.

Scares the hell out of me.

That would scare me also as my ex would try this if he knew where I was just out of spite because I left him nothing else.

He even threatened my lawyer. Got him nowhere by the way. He was a violent bully to us and I am so glad we left when we did.

Feel so sorry for these parents as the damage has been done and what of any other relationships they have later on will they also be fraught with mistrust I wonder.

Here is
a very very depressing article from some one I know who has been denied seeing his child for a year now.

I personally know him, its terrible

Yep my fear too - and I'm still married.

The idea that a parent starts to alienate a child from the other parent is horrible. It happen also - but it's wrong wrong wrong and I feel it's abusive to your child put hate into their heads.

My cousin did this to his wife by keeping their children back in Australia when she sent them in good faith because he promised to send them back. I don't know what he told them or how he did it but those two previously loving children do not like their mother now and refuse to go back to her . My cousin was and is a dick and it was her who did all the caring while the children were babies and later while all he did was stay out and party all the time. That's why I can't understand how he managed to get them on his side and alienate her so completely. They are not even little but 13 and 11.
