We, Adult Child Survivors of severe Parental Alienation, have the power to right the harmful wrongs which have been perpetrated against us. We can use our own critical thinking skills, follow our own gut intuition about our own lived experiences, do some research and reflection and find the strength and courage to reach out to our Targeted Parent, the Loving Dad or Loving Mom who we unjustifiably cut out of our lives. Even if it's been years or decades since we last had any contact with our Erased Parent, and we may feel guilt and shame for how poorly we treated them, we can take the initiative and begin the process of reconnecting and regaining trust. We deserve to learn the truth, as shocking and heartbreaking as it may be. Knowing, understanding and acknowledging that we have experienced Parental Alienation is a more authentic way to live and is essential on our self-actualization and healing journey. Help and support for Alienated Adult Children is still somewhat limited, but now more people are stepping forward as they become aware that they have endured this form of extreme Child Abuse. Our voices matter. The truth matters. Goodness matters. Love matters. It's validating to study the research on Parental Alienation as we connect with and/or hear the stories of others who have experienced what we have gone through, to know that we are not alone. For our own self-preservation and to stay true to our values, we may find we need to set Healthy Boundaries by stepping back from the manipulation to reevaluate our relationships with those who have harmed us, especially our Alienating Parent and the enablers who supported them. We hold the key to unlock and put an end to the Intergenerational Family Trauma Abuse Cycle of Parental Alienation. Now is the time to heal and live with more love, peace, honesty, compassion, forgiveness and awareness. We need to honor and respect ourselves, be more discerning and reach out to reconnect with our Targeted Parent who we unjustifiably rejected and who has always loved us unconditionally.
