Parental Alienation Syndrome is absolutely real

Children, exposed to high conflict custody conflicts suffer tremendously. The challenge for counselors is to find ways of sparing children the emotional pain, guilt, and stress that result when they are caught in their parents’ crossfire. Too often counselors over identify with polarized parents. Parental alienation develops over time and the distancing that occurs may involve some of the following features:

• Allegations of abuse - allegations of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse of the children are often made against the targeted parent

• Blame - blaming the other parent for breaking up the family and for other problems

• Denigration - one parent speaks badly or demeans the other parent in the children’s presence

• Interfering with visitation - giving the children the choice of visiting the targeted parent; being inflexible to otherwise reasonable changes in visitation; scheduling activities during the targeted parent’s visitation time

• Spying - using the children to spy on the targeted parent; questioning the children about the targeted parent’s personal life; eavesdropping on telephone conversations between the children and the targeted parent

When these symptoms sound familiar to you, you need the assistance and expertise.
