Four Walls that Surround us

Four Walls that Surround us

Each and every day, we are not in our children’s lives, the world seems to close in on us. There is no escape from the mental and emotional realities that engulf us. Instead, we are left dangling in the wind with no reprieve.

This is the life of an alienated parent. The same holds true for our children and other extended family members as we try desperately to find peace and normalcy in our lives again. Parental alienation is nothing more than abuse caused by the harmful actions by a jilted former spouse and aided by the family court system.

Try as we may, nothing else seems to matter as much as restoring our relationship(s) with the children we helped bring into this world and love with all our heart. 

The alienator and their enablers continue to place their own selfish desires to hurt us in the most heinous of fashion. The is no sympathy nor empathy on their behalf. Instead, their only goal is to hurt us after a failed relationship. 

A child needs and deserves better in life than a parent who chooses to use them as a pawn of destruction against a normally loving mother or father. This is not what true parental love is and should never be allowed the title “mom or dad.” Instead, our children must be placed above the selfish needs of others.

Unfortunately, the world does not react in a manner that is positive for all who just want to be happy and enjoy life as it is meant to be. We will always have individuals who seek to harm others when they are not afforded their own way. 

This is called a sense of self-entitlement. This means they are able to whatever they want, to whomever they want, whenever and wherever, without repudiation. These are our alienators, and they will continue to act in harmful ways unless the family courts and our legislator wake up and smell the coffee.

In the meantime, we alienated parents can only hope for the best and sit behind the four walls that surround us as we continue our struggle to be in the lives of our children.
