“So much of our recovery depends upon our change “So much of our recovery depends upon our changed attitudes.”
P68 Opening Our Hearts, Transforming Our Losses“When I joined the pa-a.org program a year and a half ago, my attitude was very negative. I felt like a victim who was never listened to and whose needs were never considered. Everything I held dear had been cruelly snatched from me at that point in my life. I felt thoroughly depleted - emotionally, physically and spiritually.I had no concept that I had choices and that I could change the course of my life.It has been a bumpy ride, but working on my recovery in pa-a has allowed me to start again.I have had to shed the victim mentality and acknowledge and work on MY role in my life to date.I have had to learn to ask for help and be willing to accept it. The pa-a community is full of compassionate, caring individuals who have firsthand knowledge of living with alienation - but I can only grow with their support and love if I take the courageous chance to ASK for help.And I have had to work on knowing and loving myself. Not the persona I had created before the program - wife, mother, daughter, sister, co-worker - but me as an individual. Going back to the basics of self-care for the one who should take priority in my life at this point in recovery - me.Not an easy task for a lifelong professional people pleaser, but I am making strides forward..My attitude has definitely changed for the better. I am confident that it will continue to change as I move forward in recovery, and I have the program and the awesome community of pa-a to thank for that.”- Anonymous alienated Mom#ParentalAlienationAnonymous #PAA #supportgroup #familylaw #custodybattle #sharedparenting #coparenting #childabuse #emotionalabuse #narcissisticabuse #gaslighting #mentalhealthawareness #familytherapy #traumaresponse #brokenfamily #estrangement #familyerased #familydisappeared

“I grieve for the loss of love and life that ali “I grieve for the loss of love and life that alienation has caused”
P246 COURAGE TO CHANGE“I feel ‘off’ today, and I don’t want to…ugh….I WANT to feel the lightness and joy I have been feeling more and more of in my recovery journey over the last little while…I can sense that I am holding back tears of grief. And my body and mind are trying to fight it - I feel antsy, restless, and in need of distraction. This response has been my ‘go-to’ for many years - an unhealthy coping mechanism that has allowed me to run away from my feelings. To deny them.As uncomfortable as I feel today, I don’t want to deny myself my feelings anymore. If I succumb to that, it means I am abandoning myself. I remind myself that I have a right to feel sad. The self-love I am learning and practicing in recovery shows me that I need to love myself enough today to give myself permission to grieve. To cry. To mourn. To feel. To be…What a difference between my life today and my life before recovery. The awareness around how I am actually feeling today is possible because I am learning to become an active participant in ALL aspects of my life. And this is because I am trying my best to apply the skills that the 12 steps show me…even when it feels very awkward and painful.This is how I heal and grow in recovery.”- anonymous alienated Mom#ParentalAlienationAnonymous #PAA #supportgroup #familylaw #custodybattle #sharedparenting #coparenting #childabuse #emotionalabuse #narcissisticabuse #gaslighting #mentalhealthawareness #familytherapy #traumaresponse #brokenfamily #estrangement #familyerased #familydisappeared
“If I can see nothing but my troubles, I see wit “If I can see nothing but my troubles, I see with limited vision. Dwelling on these troubles allows them to control me.”
P323 Courage to Change"When I first came to the pa-a.org program, my heart and mind were saturated with my troubles. My life had become dominated and overwhelmed by all of the pain I had been subjected to. I felt extremely depleted, and being able to even think about anything positive in my life would not have even crossed my mind. I felt thoroughly spent and done.Today, I feel like an entirely different person. A person who has had, through recovering my life working a 12-step program, and allowing the support and love of my fellow travelers, the opportunity to grow. And to view my life through an entirely different lens. A lens that now lets me count my blessings, as well as note my troubles and work through them.My ‘troubles’ brought me to this place. A point in my life where I was given the opportunity to grow if I had the courage and strength to stick with it. I have surprised myself by digging deep and finding that strength. And it has definitely not been a solo effort - I wouldn’t be where I am today without the amazing community of pa-a.I miss my kids every day. I will be forever grateful for the pa-a program because, having embraced it, I now wake up to a much more balanced version of myself. What a gift! For me and for my kids.”- anonymous alienated Mom of two#ParentalAlienationAnonymous #PAA #supportgroup #sharedparenting #emotionalabuse #familydisappeared #childabuse #familyerased #gaslighting #custodybattle #familytherapy #traumaresponse #coparenting #mentalhealthawareness #brokenfamily #estrangement #familylaw #narcissisticabuse
