There are many types of child abuse that sadly exist in our society. The media sheds light on the grotesque physical and sexual cases more often than any other types of abuse. Some children are being emotionally abused but because we can't see it with our own eyes, we tend to mitigate the damage it does. I am not a doctor, and you need not be, to recognize how denigration, manipulation, and revenge in the form of parental alienation take over every facet of an innocent child's life. My story exposes just one of these parents. It includes numerous examples of alienating and abusive behavior: lies, manipulations, withholding custody, multiple false child abuse allegations, and arrests. In my story, the emotional torment evolved into physical abuse. Parental alienation is quickly becoming the new broken-family epidemic yet it is not given much credence in our family law courts where a child's "best interest" is determined. Our legal journey is one of so many cases where justice not only didn't prevail but the lack of it permitted the mother to commit the same abuse on her next child and that child's father.
