Thursday is Parental Alienation Awareness Day. It’s sad that we have to set aside a day for something like that. But the stark reality is that many children find themselves in a difficult situation when their parents split up. Many times, the kids are able to spend time with, and continue to be nurtured by, each parent at different times. In other uglier instances, one parent may attempt to paint a dark and sinister picture of their former spouse, thus turning the minds and hearts of the children away from the latter spouse. Have you experienced this in your life? If you listen regularly to the show, you know that this has happened to Debbie, who has not had a meaningful relationship with her two sons for many years. As hard as it may be to talk about this, let’s have a candid – and, God-willing, helpful – Â discussion about it.

Yes! … tragic divisive, demonic (because the child even adult child is part of both parents so the harm is to all and a parent who does this has no actual concern for the children seriously self-serving!) Typically financial $$$ is at the root of the matter. Wiping out, demeaning a spouse… again hurts the whole. Shatters the building up and nurturing the true parent did.
