Parenting Equality

I am an advocate for parenting equality after a couple separates with children.  What you think might be an easy divorce can turn ugly quickly and the children are more times than not, in the middle.  Parent alienation can quickly become evident.  What is parental alienation you ask?  It is when one parent uses strategies such as brainwashing, negative speaking and decreased visitation to distance the child from the other parent.  The child then becomes estranged from the parent for weeks, months or even years because of the psychological manipulation.

Symptoms of Parental Alienation

  • Child shows hatred towards alienated parent

  • Child doesn't have strong reasoning or justification for criticisms

  • Child has unwavering support for the alienator

  • Hatred expands into extended family, not just Mom or Dad

  • Child doesn't feel guilty about mistreating the alienated parent

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

PAS is considered a form of child psychological abuse.  Join us April 25th to create visibility to the issue that parent alienation deprives the right for the child to love and be loved by the whole family.  Bubbles of Love Day symbolizes "as bubbles flow freely, so should the natural love that a child has for both parents and both sides of their family".
