Sadly, many parents find their relationship with their children changes after a divorce. Most of the time, this is due to the transition your entire family is going through, and after a time, you discover new ways to relate to and enjoy one another.
If you feel that the changes you're seeing are extreme, though, you may suspect Parental Alienation Syndrome. This is when a child who previously enjoyed a warm relationship with both parents begins to reject one parent solely based on strong, negative claims introduced by the other parent.
One indicator that PAS is being taken more seriously is the recognition of Parental Alienation Awareness Day on April 25. If your family has been impacted by PAS, take a moment to leave a comment below in support of Parental Alienation Awareness Day.

The system didn’t work for me. My son is living in south Carolina and I am in Texas. My ex has my son and refuses my calls, email. There was no reason for the courts to have given my ex custody..other than he had more money than me. Now, I don’t have a home listing and not sure if they have a home telephone. So his dad has all the control and he refused to let me speak to him. I have mail cards with my number on it so that Matthew, can call but I am sure that they discard them. I have tried to email him and they have deleted his account (again I would have to go through Matt). I don’t know if he is ok.
Looking back at what the Guardian had feared is exactly what has happened they have ALIENATED me. I wonder what they have said to my son.
Even though the order states that neither party shall talk negatively about the other. Why should I believe the order is being followed when nothing else has? How is he doing? Does he feel that I have abandoned him? It is inconceivable to me, that this little boy is being told hurtful things about his mother, to gain control and have me out of the picture permanently.
I have a right to talk and see my son. I have the right to know how he is doing. I made a promise to him…NEVER TO GIVE UP!!! ..
I am pleading that you find it in your heart to help a little 9 year old boy and a loving mother reunite. It has been 9 months and they have not allowed me to make any contact with him. My concern is that he is hurt, ill or abused (mentally and verbally) and I have no way of knowing. Even if my son wanted to contact me he may fear his father’s reaction.
Thank you for your time,

My family was affected by parental alienation. Sadly, parental alienation affects countless children, parents and extended family members every year.
Thanks to events like Parental Alienation Awareness Day, and articles that raise awareness and educate the public, other families may hopefully avoid the heartbreak that my son and I went through.
For more information, and resources on parental alienation, please visit http://www.afamilysheartbreak.com. I’m confident the information will help others deal with these painful situations.
Been fighting parental alienation here for going on 14 years now. Still fighting it, and if it weren’t for my other child I wouldn’t be allowed to have any contact with my oldest child.
I’m pretty new at this place and adore the design, could you let me know me where you bought this theme? You can contact me on my e-mail¡looking forward to hear from you
