Grieving the loss of a child that is still alive is mind bending.

[joparis]

PA is like having your kids murdered in the middle of the night and no one cares. They are the funerals you never have. Like your child goes for a walk and never come back and there’s nothing anyone can do so you just wait by the door indefinitely going back and forth in your mind about if your kids really knew and understood that you loved them and how could they be manipulated against you after all the love you’ve bestowed and tried to bestow upon them🖤 This is a wicked world.

[UtahGal]

This was the hardest thing I ever went through, harder by far than my narcissistic husband becomingan ex... however, I am so grateful that even though my middle daughter hated my very name, I never shut off communication, and after 5 years, she started to drop by just to say hi. And now after 10 years she and I are close again. It can happen, keep the faith. And have hope.

This is happening across the globe... It's not just parents working against the other, its also people who have agenda's of greed and selfishness turning young people against parents as well.

[Coach.Kallista]

Parental alienation occurs anytime someone drives a wedge between you and your child(ren). Not just narcissistic co-parents but also narcissistic grandparents, narcissistic aunts/uncles, the school system, the parents of their peers, etcetera. Anyone who undermines your relationship with your child is culpable.

[pixiemoon]

Finally found someone talking about one narcissistic parent destroying the other parent and their relationship with their children.
The narcissistic parent doesn’t just do this when it’s time for separation/divorce. Some play the long game, poisoning the mind of the child against the other parent their whole life, then just making them a flying monkey by the time of the breakup!

[Katyayanibetha]

I'm suffering from parental alienation right now with my 23-year-old daughter since 2021. Her dad has tried his hardest to alienate her from me her entire life, so there's been lots of programming up until now. He's finally succeeded. It's crazy how someone you haven't even had contact with in 8 years and haven't been in a relationship with for 21 years can still abuse and harm you in the worst way possible.

Narcissism is the absence of love.
- Les Carter

[AlphaDeltaBravo-tj]

The pain you go through is almost unbearable. As a Mother, having my adult Children turn against me was devastating. You mourn Children, Grandchildren, Family and Friends. All those relationships were destroyed in my situation. There is hope! Stay Strong! Work on yourself! Move forward everyday!

[ladydi]

Narcissists are not just people in a lot of pain. They have been turned into tools of the devil. They are focal points for multiple spirits to drop in without any fore knowledge, and thus inflict hell on unsuspecting people who still possess their own souls.

[marjorieprezioso]

Parental Alienation is the most insidious form of narcissism. The only answer I can see to the problem is to teach children how to spot a narcissist, sociopath, psychopath in school so they don't get into a relationship with one.

[mtc-ji]

My mom did this to my dad. Then, for the grand finale, she turned my brothers against me (their sister). These people don’t stop. She has destroyed every member of her own family even into our adult lives.

[lifestylebyrachel]

I’ve been alienated from my oldest son since 2020. It’s heartbreaking like living in grief every single day. Thank you both🙏

[louisaisthankful]

I loathe narcissism and parental alienation. I have not seen my 27 year old son since he was 11 years old (except in a couple of worthless counseling sessions that I paid for) Not for lack of trying and paying LOTS of child support and LOTS of court fees (and MILLIONS of tears) - all for nothing. He's been completely brainwashed. Only God can get him out. (My mother alienated me from my father, but I didn't realize this until this happened to my son. My dad and I were reconciled 💞)

[heiders]

Parental alienation started for me, when our boys were very young. My now estranged husband refused to work for 11 years and so i would go out and work. He would be with them the most so i could put food on the table and a roof over our heads. I began feeling invisible because our boys would consult him on everything and would cling to him. I couldnt understand why. When my husband was finally caught in deviant behavior, he unraveled completely. Now that our boys are in therapy, they are expressing that their Dad would talk so badley about me and say untrue around me but when they went for a walk, etc. He even talked to them about waiting for me to die. Now that he is not in our home, me and my boys have so much peace and happiness.

My sons 9th birthday tomorrow havent saw him in 6 years will never stop loving you son ❤

[patrickkennedy]

I've been living with a narcissist, my wife, for 17 years now, only just got an understanding of the condition in the last 6 months . I've been studying all the information available on YouTube to try to understand what's going on . Had the full monty from the love bombing, future faking, mirroring, trauma bonding, separation from my family and friends, then on to the smear campaign to her family, with whom I was very close, now the discard phase and the last thing, I expect, total destruction of all that I am . Through all of this I thought if I just stay strong she'll come back, now I know this isn't going to happen .
This clip is the truth and eye opener I needed, she is turning my two girls against me, they are behaving exactly as you say . They are distant from me when my wife is present, as soon as I'm on my own with them they are completely different, free and affectionate. PA is the highest form of abuse, it is unbelievably damaging but not recognized. If it was abuse in the physical form the children would be permanently black and blue . ! .

[LaddaSunshine]

The core of the narcissist is this anger and shame that drives him to punish his partner and take possession of these objects - his children.

[kristina]

I have been alienated as a mother. Never been in trouble. Just hated by their father and there step mom. Im currently talking with my oldest son, but not my daughter. Over five years now. Its a gut wrenching silent killer. Its hard to find peace with not having closure. Yes a funeral you never ever get closure, a kidnapping no one cares about. Your mostly alone, like your stuck in a dark room with everybody in your life laughing at you, accusing you, beating you down. Some advice from me, in my life, my circumstance. Move away! Once there teenagers you cant save them you cant explain to them. You cant help them, if you try. You will be the psycho one. Move away, every once in a while extend your love. This is one of the worst cases of abuse ever. i pray for peace for all in our circumstance, as im still trying to find it trillion of tears later.
