  • Karen Woodall is a Trans-Generational Psychotherapist Treating Parental Alienation. She is a highly experienced psychotherapist and author who has worked with separated families since 1991.
    Research reveals that adult alienated children suffer in very unique ways-ways that include a strong chance of becoming alienated from their own children. The interminable pain follows adult-child victims from a traumatic alienated childhood into a traumatic adulthood, a seemingly endless trans-generational trauma repetition. As helping professionals, unique, creative skills are needed in order to meaningfully serve this “special population.”
    Karen has developed new ways of working with alienated children and is now widely regarded as one of the foremost experts in the field. Her influential blog has a worldwide readership: karenwoodall.blog/.
    She is the co-author of Understanding Parental Alienation: Learning to Cope,
    Helping to Heal.
    Karen runs the Family (Separation) Clinic in the United Kingdom, which offers services to parents who are experiencing the loss of a child after family separation due to parental alienation.
    The interview was filmed on location at the PASG 2019 International Conference (Parental Alienation Study Group) in Philadelphia, USA, in September 2019. The video is produced by Equal Parenting Rights Association, Iceland, www.foreldrajafnretti.is.

    Both my adult sons are split off from me. The oldest, now 31, is isolated and discards anyone who's not perfect. My other son is able to make and keep friends, likely because he never had visions of being perfect. It's all heartbreaking.

      I would also add they are not estranged from you, or you from them. They have been psychologically coerced away from having a loving relationship from you. They were abused and it's not your fault and certainly not there's. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I pray they come back to you someday. ❤️

    There is a better way. Parental custody of children is actually a very simple matter to solve given the true desire of “What is best for the child”. We first need to separate and discard marriage from family law as they no longer seem to be connected. We must develop protocols that confer (over time) equal parental rights and responsibilities,…..once parentage is proven.
    Children’s natural maturation process has 3 essential stages of need.
    A.The unconditional love of the mother from birth until about 7 years of age. The mother to have “thefinalsay” and to receive child allowance.
    B.The conditional love of the father, who takes his children out into the world, gives security and teaches social boundaries from 7 until about 13 years of age. The father to have “thefinalsay” and to receive child allowance.
    C.The friendship and respect of peers from 13 until 18 years of age. The child to have “thefinalsay”.
    If these 3 stages are not are not gone through in order, maturation is unlikely to be satisfactorily achieved and mental resilience reduced. This has now become generational.
    Such a regime of equal parenting rights (over time) would bind parents into a co-operative relationship, because (over time) each will hold the power of “thefinalsay” sequentially when they are best favoured to use it.
    Such family protocols would be the default position, but could in exceptional cases be varied by the court.
    Buckminster Fuller said:-
    “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete”.
    To alleviate suffering is worthy. To prevent it is divine, but thankless.

    I married into a family where the Mother alienated 4 of her son's from their Father. My husbsnd totally despised his Father. Stories were told about him that made him out to be a monster. The 5 son loved his Father, and the Father died when he was 12 yrs old. My mother in law did a great disservice to her children. She had spent 45 yrs of my marriage to her 2nd son trying to get rid of me and had done the same to all daughter in laws. She is the most destructive person I have ever known. She is now 91 yrs old....my husband died a yr ago. He was so inmeshed with his mother....he became he sergate. I wanted it their was sexual abuse by her with my husband. Very strange behaviors.

    My ex-husband abandon our son to punish me for leaving him because I did not want to be disrespected, or my child mistreated by a narcissist psychopathic man. He died of cancer 7/2/23. Knowing he was dying he did not reach out to our son. Our son has Asbergers and has a very loving kind heart. When he was told his father had passed away the first thing he said was “I knew he did not love, or care about me. I heard my son tell our pastor, when he went to go get prayer over his loss of
    his father “I am afraid my mother will abandon and leave me one day too” this has always affect me because I felt it was my fault that my son did not have his father, but I was trying to protect him from abuse. It was a no win situation.

    Its going on 2 yrs since I've seen or spoken to my Lil girl. I've since been ex with Complex PTSD!
    They imprisoned my lil girl! Thecabusive litigation & torture we'll likely never heal from has me daily battling calling it a life.
    There is NO QUALITY OF LIFE to be had in this injustice & torment! None!

    Can parental alienation be a mix? I never had a good relationship with ex wife when she left she took my kids 10,11.
    My daughter days she hates me and i will never be her dad.
    I was not good with their mother i admit but i never treated my kids bad i love them with all my heart and let them know that every single day.
    I did all the normal stuff a loving dad does with his son and daughter.
    They are my life.
    How do I know if they really hate me for the fights with their mother or its just parental alienation or is it a mix of both?
    I don't understand how my daughter could say something so mean. Am trying to understand how I hurt her I look at all our photos and we have so may happy memories together.
    I never once treated them bad.
    Does anyone have any input?

      That is exactly the point. If contact refusal is a result of abuse by a parent, it is not parental alienation, it's estrangement - as Amy Baker points out in this interview: ruclips.net/video/m2zNV1Jvc5I/видео.html
