Have you been alienated from your children or do you know a mother who has been?
“Alienated Mothers Alliance” [AMA] is a new group for alienated mothers from around the world to get together. It’s for all of us who’ve experienced the same terrible fate: Family Court judges enabling our ex to alienate our children from us. It is a special place where we can share our stories and feel validated.
Alienated Mothers comprise a large subset of Custody Crisis cases but have gotten little recognition or proper support. Organizations that support mothers claim the term/concept of alienation should be banned, alienating (ugh) mothers who want to use the term because it is what they feel was done to them. This has created a female fissure, which serves the opposition: divide and conquer.
Until now, there has been no good, safe place for all alienated mothers to come together. If you are one, welcome to our new Alliance! Please fill out this form if you’d like to join. Even if you are unable to attend our zoom gatherings right now, you can still fill out the form to help us document the extent of the problem.
In the late ‘80’s, Dr. Gardner coined the term Parental Alienation Syndrome, specifically to support expert testimony he would give in support of molester fathers. Basically, he worked for the Fathers Rights gang.
The important point is that Gardner did not create “parental alienation” as PPO/DVO’s [protective parent/DV orgs] posit in their effort to ban it. But it marked the start of the epidemic of judges falsely accusing mothers of parental alienation to switch custody to the father.
So you may be wondering how are kids able to be alienated—kids who’ve we’ve been so close and bonded with their mother. Well, it takes a conspiracy: at least the father with the judge, and often mental health workers to aid and abet.
There is well-researched science behind the methodology used to alienate. Terms used for this are “undue influence” (legal), “coercive persuasion” (psychological), and “brainwashing” (colloquial). These refer to well-tested tactics that change a person’s belief system, feelings, and loyalties. This is especially easily achieved with children, as they are not fully cognitively developed and are still dependent on adults for survival. Kids are putty in the hands of the co-conspirators.
The main requirement is to isolate the child as much as possible from the mother and anyone who supports the truth about the father’s abuse. The judge accomplishes that first step through custody/visitation orders. For younger children, that is often all that is necessary. Their survival mechanism kicks in and they become “Stockholmed”.
Judges are falsely finding mothers to be alienating to justify switching custody to the father who then is permitted to alienate the children from the mother.
Simple. Clear. The public will immediately grok it.
Alienation of children from mothers is arguably the most problematic, common outcome of contested custody cases and it is being obscured by the campaign to ban the term.
