Parental alienation involves the systematic brainwashing, poisoning and manipulation of children with the sole purpose of destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent. My story involves this form of child abuse & exploring the bias favouring a mother in the social ecosystem around Family Law.

Police arrested two fathers’ rights campaigners after they sprayed fart gas through the letterbox of a trade union office in Wandsworth.
Fathers 4 Justice claim two campaigners caused the stink at the NAPO office in Chivalry Road near Clapham Junction at 1pm on Friday.
The campaigners, including one from Epsom, targeted the union, that represents family court and probation workers, because they “wanted to get the message across that the bias family laws system and those that support it stinks”, according to a spokesperson for the protest group.
The office was not evacuated but police said they were called to the scene after a pungent whiff was left behind by a foam like substance sprayed from a can.
No one was injured but the two men were arrested.
Police could not confirm at this time if they were released or charged following questioning.
A Fathers 4 Justice spokesman said the action was the start of a series of stunts planned by the campaign group, that fights for fathers rights in the family court system.
The campaign group hit the headlines last month when its protestor John Paul Stanesby, 43, was jailed for two months after scaling deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman’s Herne Hill home dressed as a super hero.
Dressed as superhero "Captain Conception" he unfurled a banner from a bedroom window reading "A Father is for life, not just conception" during the protest in June.

Further sex equality legislation should be stopped because it is unfair to men, according to an analysis published by a Labour think tank.
The idea that all women at work are victims of discrimination is a 'feminist myth', argued a senior academic. Many want to raise families rather than pursue careers.
'The myth that all or most women would be just as careerist as men, if only they were given the opportunity, has been exploded,' Dr Catherine Hakim said.
While women can choose between work and family, men have fewer choices, a senior academic said
'The trend towards flexibility in the workforce has also made it clearer that some occupations and jobs will never be family friendly.'
The call from Dr Hakim will provoke unease among ministers and Labour MPs because it has been published by the Institute for Public Policy Research, the party's most influential think tank over the past decade.
Business Secretary Peter Mandelson is already thinking about whether to push on with planned new family-friendly laws next spring because of their impact on small businesses.
However, the Government's Equality Commission and feminist ministers are determined to bring in laws to combat what they see as widespread prejudice against women workers.
Dr Hakim, a senior research fellow at the London School of Economics, said: 'The most misleading feminist myth is that women are united in their goals and priorities.
'Around one quarter of women - and men - now remain childless, mostly by choice, and their interests and priorities differ substantially from those of parents.
'I predict that men will continue to dominate in the workforce and public life while women will continue to dominate in family life, even in the absence of sex discrimination, because there are some residual differences in tastes, values and lifestyle choices that have a cumulative impact.'
In a direct challenge to the official Whitehall view, she declared: 'So why do feminists continue to demand a strengthening of gender equality laws?
'Largely because feminists continue to manufacture myths about women's oppression.'
Dr Hakim said that while women could choose between work and family, men had fewer choices. 'Perhaps equality legislation should address this imbalance,' she said

Of the nearly 19 million Canadians who had a current or former spouse in 2009, 6.2% or 1.2 million reported they had been victimized physically or sexually by their partner or spouse during the five years prior to the survey. This proportion was stable from 2004 (6.6%), the last time the victimization survey was conducted, and down from 1999 (7.4%).
A similar proportion of men and women reported experiencing spousal violence during the five years prior to the survey. Among men, 6.0% or about 585,000, encountered spousal violence during this period, compared with 6.4% or 601,000 women.
