PARENTAL ALIENATION SUPPORT GROUP
Complimentary Metro New York Parental Alienation Support meeting will meet on the first Monday of every month from 6:00PM to 7:30PM at the Landmark Diner in Roslyn. Meeting will be led by matrimonial and family law attorney Jordan Trager who has much experience and is passionate about helping people affected by parental alienation. This group is open to parents and other family members who sense or know that parental alienation is taking place in a divorce or a family situation. Discussion will help attendees to better understand the dynamics of parental alienation, how to recognize it and how to best respond to it. Jordan will discuss what conduct the courts consider when evaluating these cases and what decisions or orders have been made in respond to alienation by a parent. Jordan will also cover how parental alienation is proven in court, as well as what steps can be taken to address it, including change of custody, supervised visitation, therapeutic visitation, suspension of child support payments, and contempt of court. Unfortunately, parental alienation cases often leave the alienated parent feeling helpless.

We are affiliated with the non-profit PARENTAL ALIENATION AWARENESS ORGANIZATION US (PAAO USA) and you can learn more about this group at www.paaousa.org. This group is here to help and questions are welcomed. Light dinner will be provided. RSVP is required and we will limit the group size to 25 people each month.

Parental alienation, simply put, occurs when one parent turns a child against the other parent and his or her family. Parental alienation manifests as the systematic denigration of one parent by the other with the intent of disrupting what would otherwise be a loving parent-child bond. This behavior...

A request from a colleague for practices, tips that you may have used while awaiting reunification with your children please email them to :

She does not want stories about alienation!

Hi Amazing Parents,

I am writing a book about what to do while waiting to reunite with alienated children. Many are waiting on the legal /mental health system for help, others have older children and are waiting for some kind of a breakthrough. We know that it’s a hard place to be. I’m looking for:

> Stories about ways people have reached out to their alienated children that made a positive difference

> Practices that have helped alienated parents to become the best version of themselves while they wait

> Ways that alienated parents have found power through forgiveness.

--- or other things, resources, people, events that have helped

> I’m not looking for your story about alienation. The idea is to share some encouragement of things that have helped you along the way.


If you have any tips, quips or stories about what to do while waiting to reunite, please pass them along to me. You will be credited in the book if you choose to identify yourself. Please forward this email to anyone that you think may be able to contribute. I would love to hear from restored kids/adults also. I think their input on what led them back to a loving parent will be an encouragement to my readers.

Here are some examples:

I had been reaching out to my alienated daughter for four years by texting her short, sweet messages. In four years I had no response from her until I sent her a selfie of me making a funny face. It was a silly face that I had made many times as she was growing up. In tears, I read her response, “ you were always goofy.” It opened the door and now, years later, we are fully restored.

I would often wake up in the middle of the night and start thinking about my kids. My head was spinning. I found some really good apps of pastors sermons and some TED talks. I would put my headphones in and listen to them in the middle of the night as I rested my head on my pillow with my eyes closed in the dark. It was just enough to get my mind off of my troubles and help me get back to sleep. I also learned some great information before I fell asleep!

I remember when I was rejecting my mom. The courts ordered visitation one night a week for us. I felt like I had to tell my dad that it was stupid and that I didn’t want to go. My mom would plan special dinners on these nights and she always had a theme. One night she made Mexican food and we wore sombreros and had sweets in a piñata for dessert. I acted like I didn't like it, but secretly I did. When I reconnected with my mom, I told her how much I was really looking forward to those dinners. At the time, I couldn’t tell anyone that I was really excited to see her.

Ten Parental Alienation Fallacies That Compromise Decisions in Court and in Therapy about the genesis of parental alienation. The ten mistaken assumptions are:

(a) children never unreasonably reject the parent with whom they spend the most time,

(b) children never unreasonably reject mothers,

(c) each parent contributes equally to a child’s alienation,

(d) alienation is a child’s transient, short-lived response to the parents’ separation,

(e) rejecting a parent is a short-term healthy coping mechanism,

(f) young children living with an alienating parent need no intervention,

(g) alienated adolescents’ stated preferences should dominate custody decisions,

(h) children who appear to function well outside the family need no intervention,

(i) severely alienated children are best treated with traditional therapy techniques while living primarily with their favored parent,

(j) separating children from an alienating parent is traumatic.

Reliance on false beliefs compromises investigations and undermines adequate consideration of alternative explanations for the causes of a child’s alienation. Most critical, fallacies about parental alienation shortchange children and parents by supporting outcomes that fail to provide effective relief to those who experience this problem.
