“THE PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME IS THE DELIBERATE ATTEMPT BY ONE PARENT TO DISTANCE HIS/HER CHILDREN FROM THE OTHER PARENT AND IN DOING SO, THE PARENT ENGAGES THE CHILDREN IN THE PROCESS OF DESTROYING THE AFFECTIONAL TIES AND FAMILIAL BONDS THAT ONCE EXISTED…”
***This is a little page out of my story and it has now been almost 4 years and still my children and I are living apart***
I am the Mother of 3 beautiful children, Taylor (now 18 a senior in high school-he was just graduating 8th grade when I was last living with him,he was loving towards me and we had a typical normal loving Son and Mother relationship, he now hasn’t even said Mom in about 3 years, no phone calls, when I call him he says nothing and acts like I should not even be calling him and its bothering him. We have no relationship at this point, I don’t even know him anymore.) Mackayla ( now 15 and a freshman in high school-she cried when I had to go-she was 10 years old-her and I had it all figured out-we would see each other every other weekend and we even made a calendar and put all her soft ball games so I would not miss her first year playing on a school softball team. I promised her we would always be Mommy bug and Macky bug and now that her Dad and I were going to have seperated lives we could spend more quality time with her and her sister and brother for when we were together it would be just about me and u- I promised we would forever be together and that it would all work out) and Kelcie ( now turning 9 in April- she was 4 turning 5 a week later when I left and I had been telling her that Mommy and Daddy are going to be living apart and we will see each other, half the time she would be with Dad and the other with me, so she kinda new something was happening and changing. Kelcie was always my little shawdow. Were I went she went and that was that, and I loved it. Being my 3rd child and so far apart from her brother and sister it was just different with her, maybe because I was 30 when I had her and not 21 and so young when I had Taylor, for what ever reason she slept with me since the day she was born and never left my side until I left 4-22-07, that day I left we arranged for her to go up the street to play with her girlfriend and she loved when she got to go play with Anna, I kissed her and hugged her so tight, she probably thought okay Mom I will see you when I get home. I told her I would see her soon and I tried to explain as best as I could I would not be home for her that night or the next morning, I never imagined it would turn to be now 3 years 10 months and 20 days I have not been at home with her at night or be there for her to do her hair in the morning… she is my brave one. When we do see each other she sings me songs about life and how she wishes her Dad would let her see her Mom more and why does life have to be so hard. She is so grown up for her age. She sings beautifully!! I have red hair and all 3 of my children have my red hair. Everyone says me and Mackayla are spitting images of each other. I miss them….
ONE OF THE WORST OF TIMES THAT STILL BREAKS MY HEART BUT YET THE BEST OF TIMES I WAS ABLE TO SPEND WITH MY LITTLE SWEET KELCIE….
In 2008 while living in Lake County I would once or twice a week help out in Kelcie’s class room, she was in Kindegarden. I would never tell her the night before just in case I couldn’t be there, so I would wait for her in front of where the drop off is. I would be so excited to see her and to surprise her.. I would see the white truck, coming down the hill, they would turn into the driveway of the school and that’s when she would see me…SMILE SMILE ALL OVER HER FACE.. She would almost jump out of the truck to get out and she looked so precious with her backpack almost bigger than her little body and then she would take my hand and take me to all her friends and she would not let go of my hand for nothing. Their so cute at this age. So then all the kids in her class would try to hold my hands as well, at times I would be standing in their line up line after lunch or recess and I looked like that game twister.. I chuckle writing this cuz it was just so fun and I was so happy to for once at that time it was only a year without Kelcie to only be in that moment, be a Mom and enjoy my little girl. But then it was so short lived, her class would end right after lunch around 12:30 and in the grade all the kids sit on the floor in a circle so I would sit with Kelcie in my legs or next to her but sometimes I would help Mrs.Underwood by grading papers or what have you and Kelcie would get mad and start to cry that I was not sitting with her, and the closer to lunch the more she cried and at times Mrs. Underwood (a very wonderful teacher,”Thank you Mrs. Underwood”) would take her in her arms and say “Kelcie YOU HAVE TO ENJOY THIS TIME WITH YOUR MOM AND NOT BE SAD, SHE WILL COME AGAIN.”
Mrs.Underwood would just hold kelcie in her arms in a bear hug like and console my daughter’s broken little heart. I would just take her in my arms and hold her so close, so tight and I could of held her Forever right then and would have never let go if it weren’t that I had to try to be strong and for her sake comforting in that I would be back and that we had fun right. I know you are sad and miss Mommy and I wish we could always be together and Dad will be here soon to pick u up so if he sees you crying like this he maybe will make it so I can’t come to your school anymore, I would tell my precious daughter. I never said anything bad about their Dad but sometimes I had to say the truth and the truth is their father has made it so I was not at their birthday party’s ,holidays, etc. So Dad pulls up I would kiss her goodbye and her sad little eyes she would say “Bye Mom, I love you.” and I would fight back the tears till I watched her walk away, get back in the white truck and drive off.” I would watch the white truck till it was no more in sight…Then the tears would come and I would walk off from the school crying to my self and wonder How could this have happened to us, just how come!! How happy, sad of times those days were for me and my Sweet Little Kelcie… She is my brave one!!
