Parental/Maternal Alienation

[shoplifteroftheworld]

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing or has experienced parental alienation? I haven't seen my sons in over a year after leaving their abusive father. I am beyond heartbroken. My husband has completely brainwashed our sons and I'm aware that he's told them an awful lot of lies about me. I'm trying everything I can to let my boys know that I'm here and I love them, but I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle.

Can anyone tell me this gets better? Would anyone like to share their experiences? I just feel so hopeless right now 😔

Hi OP, I have no experience of this myself but didn't want to read and run. I do however have a son (but only 4 months old) and I can imagine the devastation you must feel. How old are they? If your ex has custody do you not have visiting rights and if he is refusing to adhere to those you need to take it further. Keep on trying and don't give up hope x

Sorry re-reading your message it sounds like you've left him but not officially divorced etc? I think you need to seek help from a professional, you have rights, you're their mum and you need to keep on fighting especially for the sake of your children, if he was abusive to you, would he be abusive to your boys?

Thanks so much for responding. I have a solicitor but I'm still waiting to hear back about my legal aid appeal. My boys are 15 and nearly 13. Yes it's awful and I never thought when my boys were your sons age that I would lose them one day. Congratulations by the way 😊 It's hard work with a baby so I hope you're getting lots of help and support x
