Inspiring, nurturing and supporting families
Promoting and educating supportive policies and services for children and their families. Because doing the right thing is important to us!!
Here at Parental Alienation, Child Custody & Emotional Child Abuse we have experienced Parental Alienation to varying degrees with our children. We have been/are targeted parents, either with legal custody (residency), or as the non custodial parent. Because of this we know and understand the pain you are going through. For us this isn't theory it is very real, we feel that no child should have to go through this. Parental Alienation, Child Custody & Emotional Child Abuse was started in November of 2011 to help other families affected by Parental Alienation. We have learned a lot through the journey - this site is our way of giving back to all our members who have followed us through Facebook. Our main goal is to give you the information you need to identify Parental Alienation, to give you tools to combat it, and to provide you with resources necessary to help you and your children heal from the devastating effects of Parental Alienation.

Our Vision
Why are we called Parental Alienation, Child Custody & Emotional Child Abuse?
Going through any kind of break up is heartbreaking and is often lonely and isolated, friends who were once part of the circle of family and friends become distant as relationships tend to break down and fade away. However when two parents separate and divorce and there are children involved we know from personal experience how this can impact a parents life financially, mentally, physically and emotionally. A break up of a family can have adverse affects on relationships but particularly relationships between both the non custodial parent and the child or children left behind. We understand the stresses divorce and separation entails, and the lack of support and voice for children in Scotland in particular. Parental Alienation is definately not gender specific, with more fathers fighting for equal rights, we see a shift in custody (residency) from mothers to fathers. We advocate for BOTH Mums and Dads and fight for joint custody (residency) or shared care in the hope that legal systems will be reviewed to help prevent and minimise the detrimental effects to the children involved. Parental Alienation is emotional and mental abuse and should be recognised as Child Abuse.
Most people do not know about Parental Alienation and the emotional effects this has on both the chlidren and the target parent, when going through a high conflict divorce until they experience it, the idea of Parental Alienation, Child Custody & Emotional Child Abuse was put forth to help raise awareness and provide education about this growing problem of mental and emotional child abuse which is happening worldwide. Our Aim is to educate the general public, schools, police, mental health counselors, lawyers (solicitors), religious leaders, parents, family members, as well as the perpetrators who may be unaware of the harmful long term effects of alienating behaviors, and how these behaviors affect the children's mental and emotional well-being. Our goal is promoting and educating supportive policies and services for children and their families. We believe that with education comes understanding and in turn the power to stop the emotional and mental abuse of children. Because doing the right thing is important to us!!
