PARENTAL ALIENATION ANONYMOUS (PA-A) SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS

parental alienation support group
PARENTAL ALIENATION ANONYMOUS SUPPORT GROUP

To qualify; I am an alienated father of three daughters 27, 24 and 20 years old, I am also an alienated grandfather. (WE QUALIFY AT EACH PA-A.ORG SUPPORT GROUP MEETING BEFORE WE SHARE OUR THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY)

This year the addition of my Parental Alienation Anonymous support group meetings and community has been life changing. I have a community I see SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK ON ZOOM CALLS, and I also have folks that I text and exchange calls with daily.

I have support that MY family and friends could not provide. I do not need to explain my feelings and or behaviors that are associated with Parental Alienation (PA), what a relief. The meetings are structured with a leader and secretary. There is a script that they follow in order to keep the meeting safe and orderly. It is a place of recovery, a place we get to tell our stories and also work on our emotionally and spiritual recovery. Every one has 3 minutes to share and 1 minute to wrap up.

THE MEETINGS are a place of hope and change. In the context of systems theory in general and family systems in particular, the number one leverage point is the individual. That means you and I are the most important leverage point (intervention point) in our family systems. We have to be the healthiest version of ourselves when we engage with the system. I used to try get everyone to listen to me, to understand all the trauma and drama and help me get my kids back. I was operating from a reactive fragmented place. I exasperated the situation often and lost opportunities to create sustainable change. I was responsible for so much of the carnage. Today with the help of the 12 steps of PA-A.org I show up from a grounded, integrated space most of the time. Attorneys, therapists, judges and other folks no longer view me as a emotionally reactive threat. I am now able to contribute to the solution. I wish I would have had a community like this in my early days of PA it would have made a world of difference.

    I am looking at the website to try to find the phone list and the sign up for service positions. Can someone direct me to them? Thanks.

    • HI Jim,

      You are already on the phone list and an email was sent out awhile ago with access I will resend it today. Makes sure to double check your spam. You can respond to the email with service positions you are interested in and we can set up a zoom call after that to discuss options.

      thank u for reaching out

      • Justin Asbury

        I would like to attend one of these meetings

        • HI Justin, You are on the email list, when you receive the email weekly please look at the meeting times and convert them to your time zone. Then click on the link at the appropriate time.

          hope to see you around.

      • Debra Buckles

        I would like I formation for zoom meetings. Have been alienated over 10 years due to their drug use and father. Problems coping.

        • Ggg

          Lol you people can’t actually talk to any human that is normal. Blame it on the spouse, blame it on the kids. How about being straight up with your kids. Say you screwed up. But no you guys are special. Keep it up, kids are always wrong.

          • Sounds like you are really hurt and angry. Guessing you are struggling with a relationship in your life. I’m sorry you are going through this. I agree sometimes people can’t take responsibility for their actions and this creates more harm.

            There are new meetings starting for folks that choose to not be in contact with their parents, grandparents and other family members this might be useful to check out if your interested in other resources.

            thanks for your comment and have a great day.

      • Angel M Kooken

            You can register on the website to the pop-up and get added to the weekly email lists or you can send an email to Parentalalienationanonymous@Gmail.com with any other questions.

  2. Kris Brown

    I am systematically being erased and it’s killing me.

    • HI Kris,

      It’s a horrendous situation for us all. It sounds like you are really struggling with the loss. Guessing some support would be useful? Our groups are great, they help build community and a solid base for regaining a semblance of control of your life. Sign up on the contact form on the web site, if this might be useful.

  3. Kathleen

    I am dealing with adult children who I have been alienated from due to the lies and manipulations of their father. It seems like the people around me don’t want to touch the issue which compounds the hurt and loneliness.

    • HI Kathleen,

      Sounds really hard and frustrating. WE have a great community of parents, grandparents & other relatives at our meetings. You would benefit in getting some consistent support I would guess. Fill out the contact form to get added.

  10. I have been dealing with this for almost three years now and only recently came to understand this is a phenomenon beyond my personal one. I would love to get involved and share what I can to help others as well as myself to find some peace and healing amid this incredibly painful and tortuous challenge. I am currently on day 773 of consecutive days with at least one meditation session. I am trying to use this as a spur for positive growth. Please let me know when meetings are.

    • Sounds like you are getting a lot of relief out of meditation. YAY U

      An email went out to you on Wednesday with meeting information and links. Please check your spam if you don’t see it.

    Best,

  12. James T

    I’m feeling a lot of fear around joining this group. I’m afraid I will only harm myself by engaging my thoughts and emotions around the loss of my children, but maybe I’m wrong and this is exactly what I need. My situation is 100% my responsibility to manage, but less than 10% my fault. I am a victim and my children are victims and pretending that’s not true is just that, pretending. Please tell me if this is a group founded on self-blame because I will only “Monday morning quarter-back” myself so far. Thank you.

    • The group is a great place to work on yourself and start your healing process. It is not easy and it is incredible rewarding. When Im alone with my thoughts only I tend to exasperate all challanging areas in my life. I added you to the group email, please check your email or spam.

      hope to see you at a meeting

  60. I have been allienated not only from my adult daughter, she also has influenced my 26 yr old great grandson who has autism, my adult granddaughter, and my 12 yr old great granddaughter, to cut me out of all visits and all communication. I am completely alone except for several friends that I love, but really do not feel that I can communicate the pain involved. I am suffering physical pain from a failed hip replacement, but the emotional and mental pain is so much worse.

    I keep going round and round and not getting the information I need.
    Also, I’m in another 12-step program and they have a printout of the dates and times that you can attend the meetings. Do I have to go on facebook or Instagram or can I just zoom a meeting like in my other programs?

    We have been separated over one year now and I have been alienated all that time from our sons (17yrs old and 12yrs old) and I have not seen them since. On March 6, 2023 I hired a family law lawyer to divorce her, she has caused nothing but delays and back/forth between lawyers, I am glad I have a nice lawyer but she is fed up with my ex and my lawyer titles her as a difficult person. Last month my ex agreed to through her family law lawyer to have family reunification therapy for our sons but 2 weeks ago she called the social worker and caused chaos so whatever she said to the social worker – they advised me that they do not want to deal with me ever again. I am being erased from existence and soon the boys will not know that I exist. For over one month the boys are not replying my text messages and treating me very differently. This is not right what she is doing to me and if the tables were turned, I would never turn the boys against her.

    Throughout the separation she has financially abused (she stole over $10,000), emotionally abused me. I was able to find out that she has been doing this all throughout our relationship ie: she would judge all the work friends I could have had in the past so I gave up those work friendship and gave her all the attention and now that hurts because I have no support. She took all my remainder of my friends away from me and have no one.

    Growing up I had a lot of childhood trauma and in 2019 diagnosed with PTSD, adjustment disorder, anxiety and depression. I have been married for 21yrs and neglected all that time she or my sons, friends did not get not get familiar with my invisible disabilities.

    I have been on LTD since Feb 2023, I am isolated and alone so recovery is rough.

    I did visit once and when I heard what others had to say and they’re crying, I couldn’t handle it. I’d really like to try because I, too, need help.

  75. L

    I’m not sure if my daughters and I were victims of parental alienation. Their father and his mother did some really damaging things up to this day my kids are 22 and 19 threatening my youngest with eviction if she was hanging out with me. Moving them 20 miles away when I lost my car. And there’s much more I could use some help

    I have been the target of my exes abuse for ten years . He has turned my daughter so against me . It’s gotten worse . It’s so hard to live with out her and he talked her into saying in court she doesn’t want me . So the judge granted him the primary parent . This is terrible she has to grow up without me because he’s a narcissist. I’m even paying support.

    I did attend my first meeting weeks ago, but not sure if I am on the mailing list. Also would like to get information on finding a sponsor. Thanks for all you are doing to help others who are suffering in this rare and painful phenomena of parenthood.

    • Hi out there,

      I suggest attending some more meetings. At every meeting they share a link on how to find a sponsor or join a sponsorship pod. You can also join the newcomers whatsapp chat to ask any questions and get quick answers from the volunteers.

      You can also email parentalaienationanonymous@gmail.com with questions.

      Hope to see you around the meetings.
