Help me put an end to parental alienation
Donation protected
Parental alienation is a human rights issue. I survive this experience through an unwavering intimate pain, every day. My dream of becoming a father was crushed ten years ago when the family court system became involved and decided I would become, through prejudice and bias, but most importantly, without due process, the "non-custodial" parent . Since that fateful day, I have been unable to experience invaluable and precious time with my son. Developmental milestone after milestone have come and gone before my eyes, most of the time unbeknownst to me. The unfortunate byproduct of this outcome creates the appointment of a "primary caregiver." Ultimately, this person gains an imbalance of control over the "non-custodial parent," and ultimately the decision dimension of control of all aspects of the childs life. This, more often than not, creates an environment in which the child(ren) lose out on critically important time with one parent, at the detriment to their development, beyond reproach. I have, for the past decade, and continue to be as I write these words, unable to rightfully be a part of my son's life, as I am continually denied critical access to him; crushing my ability to be a major pillar in his life. Every child deserves to live their birthright in experiencing an equal relationship with both biological parents, this should be the rule, not the exception.
Throughout my personal experience of parental alienation I used my pain as a catalyst to educate myself, and to explore what coping mechanisms are inherent within me, so that I could survive a shattered heart and fractured soul. I decided to go back to school. My intention was then, and is now, a deep desire to discover a world in which it is possible for me to overcome and cope with this traumatic experience. It began with earning a BA in psychology. From there, I furthered my exploration by obtaining a MA in depth psychology. In graduate school, I studied intensely, traumatic experiences. I used this incredible and informative time to make sense of my own traumatic experience as an alienated parent, as well as to learn everything I could about developmental trauma. From there, I wrote my graduate article titled: The Psychological Journey of a Non-Resident Father. Today, I am working towards becoming a licensed Behavior Analyst. I spend most of my time with developmentally delayed, in-home clients, as well as a dedication to special education. Most, if not all of this demographic of individuals have suffered from various traumatic experiences. I will use my experiences to help parents who continue to be alienated from their child(ren), as well as support children who remain, unwillingly, alienated from a parent unnecesarily.
I created a gofundme to help alienated parents and children throughout the world; this is a global and systematic destruction of the family unit. My ultimate dream in the fight against the human rights violation know as parental alienation is, not only to create a global and political platform for change, but to create legislation prohibiting parental alienation of any kind; a 50/50 split should be the rule, not the exception! Ultimately, I will use the donations here to create a parental alienation charitable foundation. The importance of support that alienated parents require, both financially throughout the family law process, and for the devastating emotional roller coaster that is inherent in losing a child is critical for the family unit to survive. The statistical implications of this crime show countless individuals choosing suicide over the grief they are imprisoned by, through no fault of their own. The cripling inibility to see our child(ren) grow and thrive, and to organically love and admire them is unforgivable; generations of lives -both parent and child- are irreveribly destroyed. Children grow up never truly knowing who they are, because 50% of their DNA is passed down to them by their father, the other half, their mother. When one parent inhibits the other, the child's mind becomes programmed to doubt and question half of who they are as an individual, leading to severe mental health issues in the future. Parental alienation lasts a lifetime and must be put to an end.
A contribution of any kind, even a symbolic penny in these times of COVID-19, will speak volumes. Every idea, every dream, every manifestation begins with a seed. The more consciousness involved in simply spreading the word-if that is all you can do for me and the millions of parents that suffer from parental alienation-will speak volumes. I wish to unite a collective consciousness surrounding this severely unrepresented issue. Most men will not speak up and speak out about their feelings for reasons that are personal, intimate, and individual in nature. I will conclude this message by saying this: Every child deserves to grow up bonding with both parents equally, and every parent deserves to bond with their child(ren) equally. Children suffer each and everyday, confused and shamed by parents that are unable to be selfless and put their child(ren) first. The family court system lacks any due process to fully understand the truth, and because of this they rely on antiquated statistics and the notion that men are not nurturers. I wish to change this outdated culture and become the voice of millions of parents that have become traumatized through having their child(ren) forcilby removed from their lives, with little to no access to them. Even when court orders are handed down that grant certain access, the "primary caregiver" retains power and control at the detriment to the well-being of the child, and at the end of the day a child must be put first!
