Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)

I am a victim of PAS, but this is sort of different from the norm because it is my son's father who is alienating my son from me. My son's father was granted primary residential custody and I only see my son for four days every other week. When I call or text my son, he doesnt always respond. This is breaking my heart. When I do talk to him, the conversation is dry because he acts as if he would rather be doing anything except talk to me. I havent seen him in almost a month because I gave up my weekend so that he could take trip with his Dad out of town. When I suggested he come home two weeks in a row to recoup our time together, my son opted to come home oh what would be our next visit.
I was recently served with child support papers. Im not contesting because I agree my son needs to be supported. My fear is that his father will hide some of his income. I dont make much money at all and Im fearful that the court will be unfair to me. His father has much more money than me. With the fear of the child support payments and my son being alienated from me, Im a mess. Im taking sleeping pills and crying all day. Posted on 06/03/09, 03:06 pm |

Well if he is a boy, maybe he is enjoying the whole male bond, let him know it's ok for him to have a good time with his dad, let him share his stories with you and be understanding and even enthusiastic sometimes, unless its not good then its time to talk to the father. Let him know that you are there for him if he needs you, maybe your overly worried about him or miss him so much the feelings are coming out and maybe he doesnt want that, I really dont know the situation all that well but just some advice.

I fully feel your pain. I have two daughters that visit their father for the summer since they live with me during the school year. They have been gone since the end of May and neither of them have called me this entire summer. I call them but they are short in conversation and I too get the feeling that it is a put out to have to talk to me. I feel as if I am not important to them when they are gone. My oldest even admits to forgetting about family and friends when she is with her father. They even emailed me to say that they want to stay with their father this school year- not even a phone call was worth the effort.
It is so hard to fight parent alienation syndrome when such young minds are the ones being mindcontrolled. I wish I had the answer as I am sure you do. My prayers are with you in this horrible ordeal.
