I’m pleased to report that I was recently contacted by a site visitor who designs, hosts and updates personal websites that help alienated parents send positive messages to their alienated children. A personal website not only prevents alienating parents from blocking your access, but let’s face it — our children are more familiar with the web than their local post office....

ENDORSEMENTS
Good Morning! I happened across your website. I'm so glad I did because I realize that I do a bit of parent bashing. The point about teaching a child to hate part of themselves hit me, making me realize I need to very careful about anything negative I say about their father/any disagreements.
As a Christian, this turmoil has been the most difficult thing in my life. A Williamson County, Texas female judge (name deleted to protect Sandra) gave primary custody of our 4 youngest children (all daughters) to my ex husband. I'm squeaky clean, and there was no legitimate reason to change primary residence to him. The judge hates me and it doesn't matter that the girls all want to live with me, or that, after they went to live with him, one started shoplifting and was caught with drugs, 2 were caught by police wandering around at 3 a.m., 1 has been expelled from her school, all their grades are slipping, and the very youngest who is 10 is getting very depressed.
It is very difficult to just sit here and wait for the Lord to work things out. I have an attorney who said he will help me for free, but after he did attempt to help me once, the judge treated him with total disrespect in the courtroom. After that he told me that it is an uphill battle, because "She (the judge) hates you, and now she despises me because I'm helping you."
You are absolutely right when you say that the system is broken. It needs to be fixed and not in 5 years but right now before more children suffer.
Sincerely,
Sandra Clark, Austin, Texas

Reading your website was a story that I have heard. It happened with my husband. I sat by his side and watched as she did what she said she was going to do. His ex wife told him she knew how to get him out of his children's lives and she was going to do it. She suceeded. His children did not see him for 6 years. The next time his children saw him was 2 years ago at his funeral. My husband died at age 41 unexpectedly from a heart attack.
There are so many details into this story but I want the world to know this is real. It causes so much suffering. My step children will never know their father. He was a kind, gentle hearted beautiful person and a wonderful loving father. He was not portrayed that way in court. They will never , ever get to know that. Their mother took that away from them.
I guess I wanted to tell part of his story. You truly never know what may happen.

"I loved your movie clip about your sons. I think that every judge, lawyer, minister, whoever gives advice to parents who are splitting up, should be required to watch that clip before they take the first step in divorce, and continue to watch it on a weekly basis during and after the divorce. Maybe it will sink in that it is the parents divorcing not the kids. Sorry to hear about your loss, it is the greatest loss I can imagine. Hope you can hook up with your kids again one day. Keep putting things like that on the internet and I'm sure your kids will find it and know how much you love them. My daughter is divorced and raising her kids on her own, but even though the father isn't perfect he is still in their lives.
I do understand some of the heartache that you went through because my sister had her grandparents rights removed after her daughter died in an accident for one of her grandchildren. That was before the state of Illinois reversed the Grandparents Rights Act. She now get to see him often. Actually the very persons that tried to keep her from him are now trying to push him on her more than she is able to do."
Good luck with your ministry,
B. Dupont, Illinois

I think it is also amazing the organization that you set up to help families torn from their children. If there were more people like you out there, that kind of sadness would barely exist in this crazy time we live in. This organization should be supported by anyone and everyone for the sake of the children. I know I would be at a loss if something happened and I had my four babies taken away from me. I don't ever want to endure it to understand it fully, but you fully have my support no matter what.
I have to look up to you both with the journey that this life has brought you. To stick it out together through some of the toughest times is something you two need to be very proud of. Not everyone can do or handle what you have...they usually fall apart.
Lots of hugs to both of you for what you are doing,
Linda (& Rich, too), Ringgold, GA
Hi Rick and Barb,

TESTIMONIALS
"Oh my I can't stop crying. I am a mother whose children were alienated from me by their father. After a 4 year battle across 3000 miles we got custody last september. The children are in councelling and doing well. I feel your pain NEVER GIVE UP. I thank you for your very moving video
You are absolutely right regarding people with their heads in the sand. My personal story was made more difficult due to the fact that my girls were in England (I am a British National) and I was here in the States. It is very difficult to enforce any court orders when they are made 3000 miles away.
I have also started a yahoo group for Mother's affected by PAS. It is so difficult for Mothers as they have to get passed the Judgment of people who think they must be really bad Mother's to lose their children. I only started this yesterday so it will probably take some time. If any mother's contact you would you be so kind to direct them to my yahoo group, momsagainstpas. The picture on the page is actually of my daughters, I think it speaks volumes, Please feel free to use it if you want.
I pray for you and your boys. Keep it together and never give up, your boys need you."
kind regards,
Heather Stauffer, West Virginia

"I loved the clip on your site. My parents were divorced when I was very little. It was a horrible situation. My mom constantly cut my dad down to me and tried using visitations as a form of manipulation. I choose to live with my dad when I turned 12. Because I told the judge...there was not anything that my mom could do...except to try to make me feel guilty. It was a rough time.
It's really sad when parents attempt to hurt the other parent with the kids. It does hurt the parent...but it really hurts the child the most. It has to be one of the most selfish choices that a parent could make. I couldn't imagine keeping my children from my husband. Kids need both of their parents.
The Lord has brought me a lot of healing from all of the childhood scars. Here is a verse that really helped me..."When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me." Ps. 27:10
I really enjoyed your site that you made for your boys. I know that you are seperated from you boys against your will...but know that while you are apart, the Lord will take care of them."
God Bless you both!

Hello my name is Traclyn Thomas and I recently watched your ultimate hate crime video. I also have a son named Nicholas and I among others cried as we watched your video as we are also the "targeted Parents" of these people we once loved and trusted only to find out later that they would ruin our worlds by taking our children and destroying them and unfortunately there is very little we can do for the children unless you spend a lot of time researching and becoming knowledgable in this thing they call "parental Alienation". I wont stop not ever until my little boy is back home where he truly is loved and his father seeks the help he needs. Once he understands and knows that our little boy needs both parents healthy than I know he might be on the right track to recovery. Its a very sad thing for our children to have to be put through.
I am needing to ask you if I could have a copy of your video as I plan to use it to educate the court system where I live and I possibly am considering spending a great deal of time involved educating everyone to stop this child abuse and let our children be free of another parents anger towards a sick individual who needs to seek some form of therapy. Your video has already been of help to me as I printed out the comments on paper and shared them with a domestic violence class that a lady I know teaches for children that she supervises from the courts here where I live.
Thank you for letting me be apart of your "parental Alienation" journey to let america know just what we have going on here that needs to be stopped and with people just like you and myself we will find a cure for this horrible disease that is putting our childrens life in jeopardy everyday. I commend you and you have my utmost respect on what a great job you did on your video , it really is a tear jerker but its all very much a reality and the judges need to know that this is some serious s--t here and I will never stop until I know the children of our world our safe and with loving parents or parent. Thank you and I will keep your children and you in my prayers always.
