Parental Alienation Syndrome
While PAS involves a complex psychological process, the symptoms in children are relatively easy to identify and distinguish. They include, but are not limited to:
***The child, for unexplained or unfounded reasons, states that he/she wants nothing more to do with the alienated parent.
***The child shows no mixed emotions (ambivalence) whatsoever toward his/her parents. When asked, he/she will describe one parent as all good and the other as all bad.
***The child will express open rejection or hostility for the alienated parent and the extended family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, step-parents, or step-siblings.
The motivations for alienation are varied, but generally begin with a desire on the part of one parent to extend visitation or custody arrangements. Viewed as a threat by the alienating parent, he/she launches a campaign of denigration. In addition, remarriage, disputes over child support, revenge, guilt, unforgiveness, issues with self-concept or a growing mental disorder may cause the alienation to begin.
I can not imagine what all the hell this man has gone through to keep a relationship with his kids. The fact that he offered $20,000 and stop the Child Support issues was to stop the pulling on these kids. I hope to God these kids wake up and see what their mother is doing to have control. That is all she is doing is using these kids for control over their dad and probably she has to keep them away from the dad because she has lied so much she is afraid the truth will find her out publicly.
