A child whom is being systematically turned against, and brainwashed against another parent will begin to exhibit certain signs and symptoms of the abuse. Once a non-custodial parent notices such changes in their child, or children, it is important to begin research on P.A.S and how to combat it. Listed below are signs and symptoms to look for in a child who may be suffering from Parental Alienation Syndrome.






They have a relentless hatred for towards the targeted parent

They parrot the Obsessed Alienator.

The child does not want to visit or spend any time with the targeted parent.

Many of the child’s beliefs are enmeshed with the alienator.

The beliefs are delusional and frequently irrational.

They are not intimidated by the court.

Frequently, their reasons are not based on personal experiences with the targeted parent but reflect what they are told by the Obsessed Alienator. They have difficulty making any differentiate between the two.

SPONSOR

The child has no ambivalence in his feelings; it’s all hatred with no ability to see the good.

They have no capacity to feel guilty about how they behave towards the targeted parent or forgive any past indiscretions.

They share the Obsessed Alienators cause. Together, they are in lockstep to denigrate the hated parent.

The children's obsessional hatred extends to the targeted parent's extended family without any guilt or remorse.

They can appear like normal healthy children until asked about the targeted parent that triggers their hatred.

P.A.S....??? This sounds exactly like what we are dealing with... Now, how do we combat it exactly??? CAN we combat this at all??? They have totally alienated themselves from us. Forced visits are very strained to say the least. It is obvious that they do not want to be there with us, even in a visit supervised by children's services. This alienation however is being initiated by the birthparents to children we have adopted...these birthparents rights were terminated long before the children were placed with us & they did not have contact with them for at least 10 years, ages 4 & 5 until ages 14 & 15 while they lived with us. The birthparents only recently found them through another family member. They started slipping around to see them in the wings & sneaking in phone contacts. Is it possible to overcome this outside interference at all? These teenagers suddenly forget that just a few weeks ago, they were telling us how much they loved us & hugging our necks freely...., now we are just their old foster parents & they have refused to hug us at all in these visits...!!! We are even willing to share "OUR CHILDREN", w/allowing visits for these birth parents, if Tn Dept of Childrens Services are agreeable with that. PLEASE....HELP US WITH ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE ON THIS P.A.S....!!! God Bless, Pauline
