“I hate my dad”

Have you heard of parental alienation?

This is a form of severe child psychological abuse where 1 parent, often during a divorce or custody battle, manipulates their child to REJECT their other, loving parent without true justification.

This happened to me, and from age 9 onward, I rejected my dad. Never spent the night at his house. I was made to believe lies like he was bad and didn’t love me.

Parents, please let your child love both parents

My dad makes me feel uncomfortable when he‘s in the same room as me.
He makes me feel bad.
And he makes me feel like he don‘t love me.

I'm so happy for you! 🤗

I'm 6 years in; expecting another 10 before the kids realizes what they've been subjected to - peuh! 😮‍💨

At the end, I'll be here to support them in the healing; another several years of work. ❤

So unnecessary and utterly sad! 😟

Just because you have a great relationship with your parents doesn't mean everyone else does. My father was physically abusive to both me and my mother. I will hate him for that until the day I die. It isn't my responsibility to make him feel better, it was his responsibility to love and protect me and he utterly failed. He *should* feel bad.

Ive dedicated the last 30 years of my life to take care of my ailing mom and now my ailing father. They have never and will never have to see the inside of a nursing home because i went to school to make sure i can take care of them until the end. I honestly dont know what im going to do with myself when dad is gone. They gave me a wonderful life and im giving them the same. Ive given up friends, jobs, romantic relationships if they got in the way of caring for my parents. Its been a little lonely but absolutely worth it.

The message is very unclear. I had to read comments to understand.

When spreading awareness about serious topics it is paramount you are crystal clear about it. Hope you have a good week ahead! ❤

I miss mine every day he died in 1996 wish I could talk to him one more time. By the way I am 72 years old but that does not matter

[vidur]

you are doing a great service to society

[cactus]

Amen! I'm so happy that you and your dad have been reunited.

[Aashika-ob]

Because you got a god gifted Father, so keep him safe everyone don't deserve it

I hope all grown children that have been alienated get the chance to see their demonized parent again. I know a few dad's and one mom alienated. It's living through a broken heart only their grown children can fix.

God bless you Madi and all the wonderful people involved in bringing families back together again. More power to you.
✨🍀🙏💗

Mine fought till the very end to see us

Im confused how everyone seems to not understand the point of your Parental Alienation Channel? Maybe out up a sign under each photo 'Me...for 20yrs' then 'Me and my dad...after I woke up to the Parental Alienation lies' ? Love your work Madi. Youre bloomin amazing❤

Madi, I LOVE THIS PICTURE! IT MAKES MY HEART HAPPY!!!! 🩵🤍🩷💜

[melodybales]

Gotta admit she had me in the first half 😂 glad you are getting through it

[beccabass]

There’s other ways of getting your message out into the world about how much you love your dad. This felt like bullying in a way to me.

[gabriellejackson]

My dad has grown to dislike me, maybe even resent. I’ve grown to resent him and hate him. Funny though, I’m just like him

[loraliecataldi]

I can also relate to the perfect pictures. I too look at the ones we have from an outsider looking in they would think we all got along great and we were a happy family but it was all BS and a total lie.

[loraliecataldi]

Soooo painful I know, I can only share my true feelings with others that have also endured lifetime Narcissistic abuse. Even one of my childhood friends who became a Psychologist 4 times over with 4 doctorates refuses to see my folks in any other light than the one she remembers while growing up. Just because they were Cartoonists for Hanna Barbera Studios she thinks they are such cool people! I told her I wish I knew my parents as just neighbors or acquaintances because I too would’ve thought the same thing. My reality is in stark contrast and the cognitive dissonance she has won’t allow her to even empathize for a second with my own experience and how it had nearly killed me on several occasions. I too hate my parents and when my father passed away I was so relieved. My mother who happens to be the more malicious type towards me I’m dreading that she could very well live into her 100’s. She has this like supernatural strength and determination and her grandiose thoughts about outliving me might even come to pass.

I mean, I’m happy for you, but mine was an abuser so 🤷‍♀️ I can say that if a friend said this to me I would never speak to them again. You could just make a post about the incredible relationship you have instead of using it as a counter to those of us not as lucky as you.

My father hit me and tried to manipulate me into thinking that its my fault i hate him sm
