The worst pain I’ve ever experienced 😢

[annikabirgittanordlander]

"Parental alienation is a strategy of a parent destroying their child’s relationship with the other parent by turning the child against the other parent because it serves that parent’s personal agenda to do so. In today’s world, it is a poorly understood dynamic, even by professionals. And it is a superbly abusive family dynamic". Teal Swan 🌎 thank you Teal for talking about this 😘

This is SO rampant and invisible. Yet, so many people go through this and have zero help. I went through it with my children and as they are growing into young adults, they are finally seeing what happened to them. I would do anything for them. And yet, I lost years of my relationship with my children. I hope and pray that this type of abuse comes to light more and more. Thank you Teal Swan!!! ❤️🙏

As an alienated mother, I had to do the intense/painful inner work, grieve the loss of my motherhood and then change my story and flip the lens on how I view what happened to me. Then everything changed. Kids grow up and see us for who we are. Hold on to hope. Keep showing up for them in any way you can. I keep a journal that I write to them so one day they will understand what I was going through, how much I missed them, and how painful it is to not be able to watch them grow into adults. Luckily I do get to see them a few times a year and we treasure those moments. I am always here waiting in the wings with open arms and unconditional love. My ex tried to erase me - unsuccessfully - but love and authenticity always wins.

Never. Give. Up. Hope. Take this time to heal. When you heal yourself, all your relationships change and heal. This has been my experience anyway.

I was the alienated parent. After many difficult years and a heartbreaking wrathful display of my boys manipulated feelings during an awful triangulated circus of a meeting at a psychologist’s office, I lost total contact with them. All I got was my ex’s excuseful cold shoulder.
Almost 3 years went by white knuckling it alone. I reached out without pushing, from time to time, just to say: “still here if you want to talk.” Some, most were not taken well, to say the least.
They were 17 back then.
After a couple of low key attempts, they started accepting lunch dates. After 6 months of that, they accepted meeting up at their summer European camp location which took her completely off her narrative guard. Then, weekend sleepovers for a year. Now, 2 years after that, while they are attending college, 9000km away from their mother, they are very happy living with me. I never lie to them, so if they speak ill of her, and I agree, I say so. If I don’t agree, and she did something right, I say so. And they appreciate it because I have done my job as a respectful honest dad and they respect me, because I never pushed my agenda onto them. They, slowly but surely have learned to see the truth beyond her hatred, shallow, spiteful words. Now, they resent her, a lot, they do not like even talking to her, grunting they do, once a week, maybe. And hopefully some day, they will forgive her, as I have. That is up to them, at their own time and pace. They do have an uphill healing battle coming, so I’ll be here for them if and when they wish to do so. As I have been walking my own 15 year healing path work too, so I may know thing or two.
As Lao Tsu once said: “be patient and you’ll see the bodies of tour enemies float by in the river.”
And Buddha once said: “the truth cannot be hidden forever.”
So yeah, @tealswan when we act aligned to true, sincere love, it always prevails. And well, Karma is real too.

Please!!! Keep bringing awareness to this form of child abuse and domestic violence by proxy. We need to get the word out. Judges, GALS, therapists, DCF, CPS, and all other family systems need to understand this! 5 years in court battle, 3 separate therapists testified about the abuse. Judge recognized it. But, still did enforce is own order.
Thank you!!!
An alienated mom! 5 years no contact!

Much, much love!!💙💙💙

”You are a parent for the totality of a child’s life, not just their first 18 years. The job simply changes. Consistent demonstrations of love, have a way of eventually breaking spells”. Teal Swan 🌎 yes 😘

[hannaheye]

The number of mental health professionals, legal professionals and family members who have fallen for this in my situation is STAGGERING.

[Katyayanibetha]

I needed that reminder that my daughter's relationship with me is important to her, even with all that's happening. Thank you.

[SamanthaMcGlynn-kxid]

OMG you cut to the core of it. So factual and blunt. It has been the single biggest fight of my life.

[quantymblaqswan]

I’ve been in it with my case for 11 years, I am deeply exhausted.

[staceyasvestas]

Thank you for this video. My children & Myself were victims of everything you spoke of. That was 13 yrs ago. I cannot replace the "time" lost with my children. Fast forward to last year. My youngest "RAN" at age 20 out of her father's home and could not take anymore abuse from her father and his wife. I knew I needed to be "ready" when she freed herself. I did my homework to prepare for that day. Today, we are both healing & re-bonding. The hardest part for me is hearing what she had to go through, but grateful that she trusts me enough to open-up with me. For example, she told me that at age 15/16 her step-mom did drugs with my daughter and kept this a huge secret. My ex (her dad) plays the fool like he did not know..today she is "clean". Another example she shared that she was in a flip over rolling fast speed car accident she was a passenger in. Hanging upside down..she had to crawl out of the car. No one told me this happened..I should of been there for her. There is more "secrets' she has shared with me which ads to both of our trauma's but it is healing both of us confirming that my gut knew this would be so hard. Today she is doing amazing and I will not nor will I discourage her relationship with her father. She chooses if she is ready to "face" him when she is ready. My oldest (son) started re-bonding with me 6 yrs ago when he was expecting his first child. His current relationship with his father today is absent. The one thing I did focus on with my 3 kids during the time I was able to be a parent (18 yrs of parenting) was for them to always stay close, be together, never lose one another. Today, that is what held their sanity is their bond.

Thank you Teal. I’m the adult child in this scenario. Would love to see a video on how to heal from this dynamic please ❤

[HelmiHolkeri-xvsd]

I’m absorbing every single word. It feels like a healing bath. Love, from a child who now hears the truth of what I couldn’t understand then❤ From my heart, all the way into yours, thankyou😢

[BeckyJB]

Thank you Teal!! 😢 tears were shed watching this video. Being the alienated parent for so many years having a secret relationship has been so exhausting. Truth and honesty will prevail.❤❤❤

[Snickerdoodle_]

Wow 🤯 this described both of my parents to the tee, only after therapy in my 20’s was I able to heal at the price of losing them both/ complete no contact. Extremely difficult to make a triangulator realize what they are doing accompanied by narcissism. These are extreme cases of social dysfunctionalities

[AnnaAwesome]

Thank you Teal Swan! Thank you for your work. I’ve been experiencing parental alienation since 2019. I cannot express how much it means to me to hear you speak up up about the lack of understanding and justice that is happening in the professional world with psychologist and legal people who are supposed to be the people helping families and especially the children grow into healthy adults. It’s blowing that this is happening on the scale that it’s happening. It’s clear that a lot of these professionals would rather make money than make healthy children. I keep a journal for my daughter, I write cards for her, I sent her text every day to tell her I love her and I’m always here for her. Although I have not heard her voice or anything from her, almost 4 years. I’ve spoken to dozens of attorneys and Therapist . Nobody can help me. Or my child. They say the situation is too complex meaning they were very large sums of money to be able to take on the case. Which I do not have at this point in time. every day I’m grateful another day has passed because it brings me one day closer to my daughter being old enough to make up her own mind and be reunited with me. I remind myself daily that I’m strong and grateful for my strength and I also send love and strength to my daughter through my prayers.
In the next year I will be publishing three books I believe will help my daughter and many many other lives.

My dad cheated on my mom. And my mom began to alienate my dad from me, convincing me he was WAY more evil than he actually was. But my dad went about this situation the wrong way and essentially started to slander my mom in the same way my mom was slandering him. And quite frankly it convinced my teenager brain that both of my parents are evil disgusting people and that the 2 people I thought I was safe with are BOTH actually unsafe. I’ve been healing this for years. And the funny part is, my parents have gotten back together, while I’ve moved away.

[lisamarieislandgirl]

By FAR….THE worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I’ve considered taking my life over the loss of my five children, to THIS. Thank-you for helping shed light to a mother who has given her whole life and being to raising her kids. I’ve been so confused and LOST. I can barely see tomorrow 🥺

[juliep.]

Thank you Teal, this was highly informative. I see articles about children rejecting a parent all the time, now i see through the smoke screen.
