Divided lives | The Australian Magazine A great and timely article, about time!
The Family Court System is shocking!!! Our case was cited as an extreme case of Parental Alienation in 2006. I have not had any contact with my two oldest children for more than five years now, and not because I am a bad parent, or because, I harmed my children in any way. My children were alienated from me due to my former partner's extreme emotional behaviour and his quest for revenge. He used 'our' children and the current, perjury free, Family Court arena to punish me for the break down of our 14 year relationship. The Judge noted that my former partner is, "incapable of promoting a relationship between the children and their Mother and that this would inpact on them for the rest of their live's". I was offered time, five years has passed, I grieve daily for the loss of contact with my two oldest children and that our yougest daughter has been separated from her siblings due to their Father's ongoing alienating behaviour.
The Family Court must take a stand in regards to Parental Alienation. Shared care does not work with people who do not like to share!

'Tea Meditations' - 1000 Wishes - Ukitopia Festival 2010

 

The Ukitopia Festival weekend was 'fantastic'! A wonderful reflection of the many creatively talented inhabitants, who live in and around Uki village.
'Tea Meditations'
-1000 Wishes-
Installation: Debby Cook.
Ukitopia Arts Collective Festival November, 2010

The 'Teapot' installation measuring 2.7m high x 4m diam,steel frame/strong/ demountable structure [crafted by Ron Cox]. 12 removable panels made of wire/paper & glue formed the sides of the teapot. Community members, and all the children from Uki Public School and visitors to the festival were invited to engage with the installation by writing or drawing their 'wish' onto a used teabag. [I, 'drunk' and collected all the teabags provided in the installation since May 2010, Mothers Day]. All the teabag 'wishes' were glued to the panels of the teapot. Many of the wishes were read out at the opening ceremony on Saturday evening. I was inspired and full of 'hope' as I read every thoughtful 'wish' I glued to the 'Teapot'.
The 'Teapot' was lit-up with flashing, coloured, rope lights on Saturday evening and many danced inside the 'Teapot' to the great music being played on the main stage.
We were blessed with 'rainless' clouds for most of Sunday and I spent the day gluing all the teabag wishes onto the 'Teapot'. We got very close to covering the whole 'Teapot'. I believe there are over 900 teabag wishes on the 'Teapot'!
I had a wonderfully, happy time for the whole festival weekend, and I wish to kindly thank the organisers of the Ukitopia Arts Collective for the opportunity to create! ...Life is Art

*My art practise brings awareness to > Parental Alienation < no matter what the installation. Copies of the Parental Alienation Awareness Organisation Brochure were available inside the 'Teapot'and well received.

Welcome Back, Pluto™: A DVD for Coping with Parental Alienation

Welcome Back, Pluto™: A DVD for Coping with Parental Alienation I have heard and read that this is an excellent DVD in regards to understanding Parental Alienation. I am very interested in therapy, to assist alienated children regain their loving bond with their alienated parent. Family Courts do order therapy for child and parent to re-concile in alienation cases, but if the parent refuses therapy the child remains alienated.

*Parental Alienation is psychological child abuse.
*Dont alienate your child from a loving parent because of your own emotional needs.
*Parental Alienation Awareness Organisation is a World wide organisation bringing awareness and education to Parental Alienation.
*The Family Court of Australia and worldwide, fails daily, in it's duty of care; to every child and family, it does not assist with family re-conciliation, especially when alienation tactics are recognised and the associated behaviours demonstrated in the alienated child's behaviour. Court ordered therapies when, ordered, must be implemented, if the child is ever to have a relationship with an alienated parent. Doing nothing about Parental Alienation is psychological child abuse and the alienation of a parent from a child's life due to PA will, impact on the child's emotional and psychological well being for the rest of their life.*click on yellow high-lighted text[heading] to go to link.
