A Call for Hope and Healing

A Call for Hope and Healing Parental alienation is a manifestation of narcissistic abuse. It is rooted in self-absorption. It is effected with lies, manipulation, and deception. It is greedy, dishonest, and viscous. Real love doesn’t force a child to reject one parent in favor of the other. It isn’t self-serving, it doesn’t require deception, […]

Apparently, Noncustodial Parents Need To Be Encouraged To “Visit” With Their Children.

  Recently, I was updating our breakdown of Title IV-D incentive payments to states, and I came across this little gem in a 2012 budget request from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families for title IV-D funding.
