A Blogsite with News and Thoughts about Family Law, The Divorce and Children Industry, and what many are now calling "The War on Families and Children". Family Courts have become battlefields resulting in massive casualties that include Moms, Dads, Children, and Extended Family Members. The Federal Gov't, States, their Agencies and Officials involved, including Attorneys and Judges, that profit from destroying us are the only winners. "We The People" must wake up and stop this abusive war now!

An Interesting "Parental Alienation" Blog

Cathy Meyer posted an interesting blog in the Huffington Post on January 25, 2011 titled:

Parental Alienation: It's About More Than "A Uterus, Divorce Papers and Bruises"


I encourage all readers to go there and read this blog, and also to read the comments in the comments section beneath the article, it is quite interesting.

A preview of the article/blog:


Over the last few months Father's Rights activists have been attempting to have Parental Alienation Disorder added to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V), the American Psychiatric Association's "bible" of diagnoses.

When learning of this effort the National Organization for Women (NOW) became concerned and sent out an Action Alert to counter the campaign. According to NOW's Tracy Simmons:

"Parental Alienation Syndrome has now morphed into Parental Alienation Disorder thanks to the fathers' rights organizations who are wildly pushing this through, and why wouldn't they? It benefits the abuser and discriminates against the victims of abuse, which are overwhelmingly women.

This gender specific, abuse excuse, junk science can not be allowed to enter
into the scientific community as there is nothing scientific about a
syndrome/disorder whose only symptoms are a uterus, divorce papers, and bruises.
I ask that you all to take action against legitimizing this outrageous theory by
e-mailing the APA and asking your groups to do the same."

I have a few concerns with Tracy Simmon's beliefs on the subject and a few beliefs of my own in response to her statement.

Tracy Simmons and NOW (and other like-minded idiots) who consider Parental Alienation a myth or some kind of made up illusion are either completely and ridiculously blind, or have a much deeper and sinister agenda.

Parental Alienation is real and it is child abuse; Those that deny this fact and fight to allow Parental Alienation to continue to harm parents and especially children, through bogus claims that it doesn't exist, are guilty of parental assault and CHILD ABUSE!

Shame on you Tracy Simmons!

....and shame on the whole NOW organization!

  1. This woman and NOW are so militantly sexist that they do sacrifice their own children to the abuse PA inflicts.
    A few years ago I tried an experiment and made two information requests, one male and one female. No surprise, he got dis info. and she was advised on every thing right down to how to execute PA. Harrison

  2. I did the same thing Harrison a few years ago and got the same results! LOL!

    Yeah, those in NOW are actually harming the mothers/women and CHILDREN they are saying they support and protect by turning a blind eye to PA and the mothers that actually are being alienated from their children by the father through parental alienation. We all know men are capable and guilty of this henious crime too.

    NOW is warped in my opinion.

    Once Parentail Alienation is in the DSMV, Now will flip flop with their current policy that claims PA does not exist and all of a sudden be a huge supporter of it..

  5. phill, This is a world wide problem that has been building and getting worst for decades. The thing that grinds my ass is this behavior comes out of and is condoned by supposed advanced societies. There are groups in England working hard for change. Jump on in and lend a hand!!!!! Harrison

  6. Parental alienation syndrome is real. Here are some graphic scenes from my own marriage and divorce revealing the malignant personality traits that so often underlie parental alienation, but are so often missed by the so-called professionals and the family courts.

  7. Oh, it's real! I've dealt with it for years now from a sick and demented mentally ill mother who only cares about her hatred and nothing more.

  8. Some experts say "Parental Alienation" is just an excuse used by bad or even abusive parents. I think it is real, and that it damages the lives of innocent children. Are you married to someone with a high-conflict personality? Before you separate, be aware of the likelihood of Parental Alienation, and take measures to protect yourself and your kids. Don't be blindsided like I was.

    This video reveals common alienation techniques, such as vilifying the other parent, denying access, making false allegations in court, and using fear tactics on the children.

  10. My feelings on this subject is this. I married a man whom I thought I knew until I moved to his state and found that I didn't know him at all. I learned he had been going to psychologist since childhood for anger issues with his mother & dad, physically abusing his sister. I tried to help him, big mistake, I found myself being a victim of this uncontrollable issue. I had 3 children from a previous marriage and a new born from this man. His mother's disapproval of the relationship destroyed our relationship. Physical abuse started on me than my children. I escaped from him with my children and returned to my home state. Needless to say, I lost my 3 children to my ex-husband for being married to an abusive man than lost my new baby to his parents. I was prevented from seeing or having any contact with my baby. It was 14 yrs before I had contact. She made contact through the computer. I have no faith in our system nor this God everyone talks about. The father just tells me to put all that behind me & move forward. I haven't been able to do that. Every time I hear his voice I find myself angry and upset. My daughter wants to know why I didn't stay & obtain Joint Custody. She's 17 now, I ask her what did your Dad tell you. He told her "Your mom just couldn't take of you". I told the truth.It caused of some more issues. I told her I will see her in a year, she will be 18.
