Parent Alienation Syndrome-PAS...Let's Create Change!

1. Parental Alienation Syndrome is a disorder that arises primarily in the context of child-custody disputes. 2. Its primary manifestation is the child's campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. 3. It results from the combination of a programming (brainwashing) of a parent's indoctrinations and the child's own contributions to the vilification of the targeted parent. Excerpted from: Gardner, R.A. (1998). The Parental Alienation Syndrome, Second Edition.

Keeping It Together

Three weeks in and I started feeling pretty alone. I had a few rough days. D and I talked at length on the phone. I went through the gamut of emotions.
We had wonderful friends who would have been there in a flash if I had needed them. I tapped into them a few times. They were fantastic. All, very supportive and positive.
Nonetheless, the man I shared my life with was not here. We spent so much time together. We loved being in each other's company. Doing nothing with D was awesome.
Stephan and Kyle were checking in on me during the first few weeks. I appreciated their concern.
Time was not standing still. It was the unsettled feeling of not having any timelines. It all felt so obscure. That was the difficult part.
