Parental Alienation Awareness Day is here once again … and how many people really know about it?
PAAD is a major part of a global awareness campaign aimed at making the general public, judges, police officers, mental health care workers, child protection agencies, lawyers and social workers aware of one of the biggest unchecked crimes in the world today.
We’ve all been through break-ups. And in fury we’ve grabbed, metaphorically speaking, the nearest ‘blunt instrument’ to get back at our ex, make him/her suffer and make them know what they losing by leaving you.
But the weapon you chose should never have been the love, the heart and the mind of your child.
Using your child as a weapon of crass destruction is child abuse, psychological abuse, it is selfish, cynical and shameful.
Ask yourself one question … how can you possibly claim to love your son or daughter when you brain-wash them into insulting, attacking, abusing – or even just ignoring – their other parent.
If you abuse your own children for your own satisfaction and to punish somebody else, what kind of human being are you?
Ask yourself that question and answer it honestly. Face yourself in the mirror of your child’s heartbreak.
That reflection, if you look deeply into yourself, will show that you are no better than the family courts, child maintenance organisations, CAFCASS and social workers.
These are the organisations that work rarely for the child but almost always work for the bitter, dispossessed and dumped ex.
Yes, you are the parent with care but the simple fact is, if you are an exponent of parental alienation, you truthfully and honestly DO NOT care.
And still today it is difficult to get the world to notice you and what you and the courts are doing…
We, at The Society, along with Andrew John Teague, from NAAP and D.A.D.s. have been fighting for almost a decade to get things put right. So far, we haven’t reached the end of the road or, in John’s case, the top of the mountain.
But we’ll both keep going.
The idea for PAAD was introduced in Canada by Sarvy Emo in late 2005, with the original date being March 28, starting in 2006. This date was changed after the start of the campaign to coincide with the appearance in Toronto of parental alienation expert Dr. Richard Warshak.
In 2011, Bermuda, Seventeen U.S. states (New York, Maine, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Montana, Nebraska, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, West Virginia, Indiana, Oklahoma), many Canadian towns and cities officially recognized April 25 as Parental Alienation Awareness Day. The day has since been arranged in 25 countries.

It’s been over ten years since I seen my children and if it wasn’t for my faith and trusting in Jesus I don’t know where I would be , I found no one cares about the alienated parent or how it effects the children .
It’s a crime and no patent or child should go threw this .
