Since the launch of Overcome Parental Alienation, I find myself returning to the days of sorrow, pain, and emotional rebirth.

For those who endure Parental Alienation

Today’s release embraces an assembly of thoughts, concerns, and wounds I once carried for many years. It’s my hope that each of my readers will chose a brighter path and recover faster than I have from being an alienated parent.

Over the years, I’ve endured tremendous conflict and loss. When I was ten, my father committed suicide, which turned my mental and emotional well-being upside down. I was told that for a period of time I didn’t speak to anyone. Due to the intense trauma, I have no recollection of this ever occurring.

Once my daughter Alexis was born, my life was shaken again by the knowledge that her mother, my former wife, had been cheating on me. I turned into a Humpty Dumpty overnight. After I realized she was cheating on me, I awakened angry and bitter towards almost everyone, except my daughter Alexis. The sadness and reality of an extinguished family unit became a deserted reality. I had truly been pushed off the wall and broken into thousands of tiny pieces.

While recovering from the knowledge of Alexis’ mother’s affairs, the evil actions of parental alienation from her mother began to play out.

Near the end of my long-term case from parental alienation, I quietly overcame stage four prostate cancer using Intravenous Vitamin C and Vitamin K. I’m eternally thankful to the women who recommended this cure; she is the same women of whom I wrote about regarding her custody exchange and arrest. During this time, and due to the massive debt load from my custody case, I was evicted from my apartment and forced to live in my car for a period of time. Yes, I was homeless! I was determined to overcome the vast conflict which harmed my business plans. Parental alienation was a direct reason for endless negative issues. A time of reckoning is upon me and I am determined to put parental alienation and the horrible things I have gone through and make sure it’s in my rearview mirror. I could never image the restoration which began in my own life and the abundant blessings falling on my head. The message is clear: we can Overcome Parental Alienation no matter how dark the clouds may appear.

The deep wounds from being an alienated father began to undermine my health, work, and well-being. My private grief was affecting my life and my health. As alienated parents, some of us allow the wounds of being alienated to cause unnecessary harm to our own lives.

When I began Overcome Parental Alienation.com, I discovered twenty years later that the coping mechanism I once used when my father committed suicide had also become a survival tool for Parental Alienation. I’ve completely compartmentalized my entire life. Somehow, I’m able to block out vast levels of trauma and only reflect on the thoughts I choose to consider and nothing else. My friend Lucy was the one to verbalize what I was doing. My life was in shambles, but I had a mental box for business, a box for friends, and one for family. The box for the horrible things of parental alienation, I had a box with a lid and lock.

Living a compartmentalized life has been my coping mechanism for my health and sanity. Many of my “alienated” friends have also confided in me they also use this same action to cope. This mental coping action is something that interests me. I plan on conducting a self-study of the coping format that I’ve used, and will do my best to share more about this in the future. If you are comfortable sharing with me, I would like to hear about your ability to compartmentalize your life. Was it a conscious decision or was it something you just started doing without realizing it?

Regardless of your current situation, we must realize we can overcome parental alienation with or without our children. My greatest hope for each reader is for a reunion with your kids. If you are denied a reunion, I believe we can live a more bolder, kinder, and peaceful life than we once knew.

Love is the greatest defender,
