The truth, of course, is in the middle.
Yes, PAS is cited by abusive and controlling jerks who can't accept that his/her kids not wanting to be around them is a healthy reaction to a sick person.
And, yes, emotionally weak parents who want to make "allies" out of their kids and who can't accept that someone they love so much (a child) loves someone they hate so much (an ex) that, either intentionally or unintentionally, poison a child against the other parent.
Its a case-by-case determination

You are trying to help women, but you are going about it wrong and really hurting them.
Of course both men and women are capable and do make false accusations.
As a women who was falsely assused by an alienating husband, your comments that infer there is no such thing as parental alienation is damaging to the truth of mine and many situations.

We know that people getting divorced battle it out financially. We know that people getting divorced argue and hurt each other physically and emotionally. We know there are people who divorce who kidnap their child and take off. We know there are parents who sexually abuse their own children. We know people who are married/divorcing sometimes kill the other spouse and/or children. So, why would anyone find it hard to believe that one parent might alienate the chidren from the other parent?
deadbeat is a dehumanizing term used in virtually the same way as Juden was used in 1940s Germany. and being in your position has every thing to do with PAS. PAS is a symptom of inbalences in the legal system. I am an Adult Survivor of PAS and a 'Lost Father'.
Hi I am an Adult Survivor of Parental Alienation Syndrome and a 'lost father' it is very real and very painfull. I learned corporal punishment from my mother and was pushed by her to believe that my father was the one who did this to me.
i know that more men are victim to this kind of abuse and its probably about a 99 to 1 ratio. i know i have been there and have heard countless similar stories from workmates and friends.
So its a female problem primarily and the law fails to take account of this fact.

My mom came and saw Lilikes 1st herself on her 1st birthday giving her toys and seeing her while the other Grandma got her hair all done up with expeensive hair extensions and saw Lilike later on. Now my mum says she thinks herself as ugly she is very shy and does not think highly of herself but says liliek has beautiful blue eyes, while shes not a highly social interactive person i feel she loves my daughter.

And she invited herself to it and then rubbished my mom the grandma saying to my mans friends and to me when my mom left that my mom did not care about lilike because she did not sing happy birthday but my mom has always been shy but she had told me she loves Lilike and was proud of me for having her. My man took his mom to Lilike 1at after she was born.

Later she would kick my man out of home and made him go back to his dad to live. Yet he had to take his mom shopping and take her shopping in when she kicked him out. Her husband once took her shopping before she left him. Would hide from him while sending the boys round his house on weekends. There dad would take the youngest son who live with her on weekends.
