Question: What can I do about Parental Alienation?
Answer: It is important to note that many professionals believe that if parental alienation has reached a severe state, it is impossible to cure or change. Thus, it is important to intervene before it becomes that advanced.
Professionals suggest that the best way to deal with parental alienation is to keep in frequent contact with the children and let them know you love them. You must work to help your child feel secure in his or her relationship with you to protect them from undermining by an alienating parent. Making and keeping promises to your children is the way to build trust, as it is in any relationship.
If you see evidence of parental alienation, make sure to document what you see from the alienating parent or what you hear of his or her efforts to alienate your children from you. These notes giving detailed statements, dates and times will help in case you need to use them to demonstrate the need for a change in parental behavior.
