Mike Jeffries, author of A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation, discusses the case of a New York mother who is going to jail for her alienating behavior on his latest post for Basil & Spice at http://www.basilandspice.com/love-and-relationships/.
“In A Family’s Heartbreak we talk about how parental alienation just doesn’t damage a child’s relationship with the targeted parent, but eventually damages the child’s relationship with both parents,” Jeffries says. ” This alienating parent may think she is going to jail for the noblest of reasons, but wouldn’t the children be better off having the love an attention of both parents this summer rather than being estranged from one parent while the other parent sits in jail?”

Some idiots just don’t realize, like my coworker who couldn’t understand the actual intention of this section on your post “… children be better off having the love an attention of both parents this summer rather than being …” it also made me think about the day I came across my husband.
It is about time a court recognizes this child abuse of parental alienation. I am still trying to get a court to recognize the injustice being made by my ex-wife with my children.
