Jasmin: reunited with her father yet alienated by her mother
Part 3: Jasmin shares the second vital reason she overcomes alienation
Jasmin has overcome many issues during her short life. She has overcome Parental Alienation—the rejection from her mother and siblings. Parts one and two can be found at the bottom of this story.
By the time you read part 3, I’ve had nine interviews; some extended many hours.
Jasmin wanted to determine if she could trust me as she shared her story. She often asked me not to include specific information until she was ready for me to publish the articles, and doing so helped me gain her trust to share Part 2 and now Part 3.
In my last meeting, which led to this article, she said, “There isn’t much more I can mention that I haven’t already said. She is now ready to let others know the second reason she overcame the alienation of her mother and siblings. She said these things while we ate a hamburger at Five Guys. She encouraged me to write this article primarily from my observations.
I previously wrote about Jasmin’s mother rejecting her, packing up Jasmin’s belongings, and moving her to her grandmother’s. Since that day, she has never seen or spoken with her mother. Jasmine’s mother rejected her daughter primarily because Jasmin would not renounce her father.
Her Mom’s action was a horrible act of rejection of her daughter. It made her feel lost, alone, and rejected. She had already suffered significant turbulence with her dad’s relationship after his arrest and later his prison sentence. What followed were poor grades and additional challenges that weakened her spirit, honesty, and ability to cope.
A few times, she said, “I was lost, and I started drinking Grandma’s wine. I started seeing boys who only wanted one thing. I started having sex often with different boys. I suppose I wanted to feel someone cared instead of rejection.”
It wasn’t until I released the first article about Jasmin that she felt she could trust me for not sharing some of those life changes, and she showed me photos of her son on her iPhone—a little boy with a handsome smile she had at a very young age.
Her grandmother never berated Jasmin for getting pregnant and was eager to help her granddaughter and great-grandson.
Jasmin’s aunt was also eager to help, yet her mother continued rejecting Jasmin and had never seen her grandson.
She mentioned that many young girls in her high school had already had one or more abortions. This was the only advice received from her mother. This news was for her to go ahead and get an abortion, as relayed to Jasmin by her aunt.
She looked me straight and said, “I would never kill my child.” She said, “I don’t fault women for having an abortion, but I will never do it!”
Her grandmother and aunt help raise Jasmin and her little boy.
She said maybe she didn’t care much about being alienated because her son was born. She decided to focus on her little boy, love him with all her heart, and to hell with her mother’s rejection.
“When my dad was released from prison, he promised to move my son and me into a new home as quickly as possible. My dad has got to be a grandpa to my son when my siblings continue to reject him. Having my son has also helped Dad feel a sense of belonging after my siblings rejected him.”
Her son’s father began paying child support about a year ago, and though she doesn’t have a relationship with the father of her son, she said they do get along, and nearly a year ago, her son began spending weekends with his father.
Now that her father is getting married in the middle of August, she will be moving and caring for her son at her first apartment. Grandpa and his fiancé will be close by them if needed.
