Comment on Reunification Therapy with Estranged and Alienated Parents by Dan Blair

Dan Blair — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:08:22 +0000

Hello

My name is Joseph Goldberg and I am interested in the work you
do. I would also like to ask you for some assistance.

I assume you are familar with the dynamic if not the nomenclature
regarding parental alienation ? Parental Alienation is what happens
normally in the context of a high conflict divorce ( although it also
can happen within intact families ), it’s what happens when a child
becomes strongly aligned with one parent – and completely rejects
having a relationship with their other parent. It is important to under-
stand that the child’s rejection of this parental relationship is always
based on unjustified reasons ( e.g, One of the common behaviours
of the favored-alienating parent, is the persistent badmouthing of the
other parent in front of the child ).

Even if you are not familar with the terminology, I am sure you have
seen this family dynamic many times and you may know someone
right now who is perplexed about what to do next.

Mental health professionals widely agree that parental alienation
is a serious form of child abuse and research has validated that an
alienating parent – can inculcate a Parental Alienation Syndrome.

SPECIAL NOTE:

If you know a friend, a parent, or anyone else involved in what you
believe to be parental alienation – please ask them to contact me
directly for immediate assistance.

Comment on How One Parent Undermines the Other Parent by Bill

This is exactly what has happened to me. Unfortunately it has been magnified by my ex wife’s lack of relationship with her real father. She feels that because her relationship with her step father is good then that’s the way it should be for our dauthers. My oldest doesn’t talk to me now and my ex is encouraging my youngest (14) to make her own mind up about whether she wants to see me or not.

Comment on Is Divorce a Sin? by Jason Michelli

Jason Michelli — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 23:46:13 +0000

I read your article and have to say it was very good. I do think that those going through divorce as quite often only looking at the situation through their own eyes and what they think a divorce will accomplish for them, leaving out of their thinking and reasoning the long term effects on not only themselves, but everyone else involved.

There are a couple of points that I disagree with. One is that divorce is a legal issue. While I understand your view is one of helping the person heal from difficulties and past trauma, etc., divorce is a spiritual issue. When two people are married and become “one”, that is a spiritual joining by God and not merely a legal joining by a pastor or judge. That is why I don’t believe that a marriage covenant can be broken by anything other than physical death…that is the very nature of a covenant, any covenant.

Further, if you look closely at the Bible, the OT does not “permit” divorce. In the Mosaic law, Moses was only regulating a practice that was ALREADY rampant among God’s people. This is much like we regulate abortion or marijuana…it’s a moral issue that the government is trying to keep the negative effects to a minimum through regulation. I’ve found that the majority of modern churches have turned away from what the Bible and Jesus actually taught concerning divorce. A great resource that I would highly recommend is the book Remarriage Is Adultery Unless… (http://www.davidpawson.com/anchor/anchor.nsf/WebItems/ARB.079). The author goes into great detail concerning divorce and remarriage, only speaking on what is taught in the Bible.

SDG,

Comment on What is Parenting Coordination? by relationship therapy

relationship therapy — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 15:21:15 +0000

Unfortunately many times children are the victims when it comes to parental issues. It is great to have a third party such as parent coordinator to view objectively on the situation and decide on the best environment for the child. Thanks for information

This is a interesting post.

In the Philippines,there is an ongoing debate on legalizing divorce.The majority of its population is devoted Christians.And most the these people still don’t want divorce to be legalize. The Philippines,along with the,along with the Vatican City,is the only country in the world that do not legalize divorce.
