Yesterday on Gaby Live on channel 5, I saw the moving story of Sean Felton and his abducted and now rescued son, Joe. It was a sadly familiar story to me now but ending with Sean and Joe being reunited after months of heartbreak. Having overcome huge mountains, Sean has now set up Abducted Angels [...]

Oppositional Defiance – are wondering why your child’s behaviour is so difficult?
Going through separation/divorce is so very hard on the adults involved, so we can only imagine the kind of impact is it going to have on our children and of course, it is very much with them in mind that we make the next decisions. Very often we stay together to avoid the heartache [...]
The end of court involvement.
I had a phone call from my solicitor yesterday, he had received the final report from T’s Guardian which says she is happy with the way contact is working and the family assistance order has now ended. So apart from preparing myself for the massive legal bill, I am celebrating a complete victory especially given [...]
Revenge or Karma ?
In Buddhism, Karma is whatever one does or says, from those actions, the intentions bring about fruit either within the present life or in context of a future birth (Wikipedia). I really like the way this is put. I am not sure I act with Karma in mind but it is a word that fits [...]
The Wright Stuff – Can you be a decent father if you lose touch with your children?
The Wright Stuff on channel 5 this morning were discussing Fathers who lose touch with their children. Of course, there could be many reasons, one of which was the massive depression that can set in when you can’t see your children as much as when you lived in the family home. The pain becomes so [...]
1 year on after T was returned to my care
It has been a little over a year since T came back to us. We have had many tears and much laughter. The work of reconnection and getting to know one another continues and we have a much stronger connection than we did a year ago. I still sneak a look at him when he [...]
Contact session with Alienating Parent
T is going to see his dad in a couple of days, it will be the first contact that he’s had that is not part of the contact order, or rather it is the ‘to be agreed’ part. After the first contact session following court, T was so excited and wanted to spend more time [...]
PA and schools
Over the years that I was apart from T, I experienced some very uncomfortable feelings when it came to dealing with schools, for the most part, teachers, the women in the office and even the headmaster or head of year were deeply suspicious of me. From the first nursery that T attended through to the [...]
Why People don’t believe that Parental Alienation exists
There have been times when I have really struggled to understand why people do not believe parental alienation exists after all I had all the evidence, a gap where T should be in our lives. If a child no longer sees or has contact with their non resident parent and the relationship was previously close [...]
Alienation or just a ‘normal’ teenager?
T is a month or so off being 13. For the past year, I have been so grateful to have him back in my life. Inevitably along with T’s return comes some problems and difficulties. I have had the wonderful and sometimes difficult but always a learning and growing experience of bringing up 2 other [...]
