Parental alienation (officially Child Psychological Abuse) causes untold damage to the children who are being abused.
But it also has severe mental health implications for the targeted parent as well.
If your child has been emotionally cutoff from you, sharing the same delusional thinking as your ex and having a persecutory reaction to you, then your are likely to also be suffering from:
- Anxiety
- Toxic Stress
- Depression
- PTSD
- Grief
- Anger
- Loneliness
- Traumatic retriggering
Added to this the trauma of Family Court and you are probably not coping very well at all. Even if you are managing to function pretty well under the circumstances, underneath it all, you are paddling like a duck.
