"It's just sheer horrific pain every day. There’s
nothing like it and nothing you can do about it. You can't escape from it.
Can't hide from it. It follows you, haunts you, cuts you like a knife and your
gut wrenches and doubles you up. It sours you on everything and you become sick
and have to sit and can't think because you can't do anything when you're
cloaked in that kind of emotional pain."
– The pain of parental alienation, from my
journal - September 26, 2013
Recently I
offered to help a mother write her story about how parental alienation has
affected her life by taking her 13-year old daughter away from her. And during
the process of responding to her story, I started examining my own reasons for
writing my story – an endeavor I began a little over
a year ago about how my children were poisoned and alienated from me much like
this woman's child was from her. It's a topic I had thought a lot about before
I began writing my story but had never written about.
