I realize this is an old thread, hopefully someone is still here. I’ve been co-parenting (parallel parenting) my tween kids for 2 years since leaving their dad. We’ve been locked in endless trial the entire time with little to no hope of resolving financial or custody issues before they become adults. Ever since leaving, the kids have been obsessed with their dad. He only does fun, high adrenaline activities with them. Never homework, but often things that are questionably age appropriate. He applauds them for being so mature and responsible.
Recently, one of the kids told me that they would like to spend more time with Dad when they are bored or I’m doing something with the other child they would prefer to do something fun with Dad. In fact, there are text messages on my child’s phone with cryptic messages to Dad saying things like, “She said no” with a reply from him of, “I’m sorry”. Both kids see therapists, but don’t open up about the way their dad controls them. They cover for him constantly. I’m forever being asked by attorneys and medical providers to “prove” that alienation exists. Anything that my kids say to me is hearsay in legal terms and not usable as evidence.
How do you document or provide evidence of covert abuse in the form of parental alienation?
