Forbidden Justice
Forbidden Justice
It has been said, the wheels of justice may be slow, but eventually comes around full circle. Though, we do not see this in family courts as often as we would like, there are occasions when the truth is suddenly as well as, un-expectantly revealed and families are restored. Unfortunately, it many times comes at a high cost to the targeted parents, our children and all others involved.
Make no mistake, parental alienation is a very destructive force that causes each of us to fall into the depths of depression and hopelessness without the benefit of help from those who are meant to be our protectors. Often times, we are left clinging to the very edges of sanity because, no one seems to care about the importance of a parent/child relationship.
All that matters to many of these judges is, the expediency of getting through another court docket in their busy and hectic day. We become a number instead of a living, breathing human being who only wants to be connected with the children who they helped bring into this world.
When this happens, it’s a sad because we are reduced in the importance of our children’s lives and must fight for every minor scrap that is tossed in our direction. How can our children ever grow up when we only get a few hours of visitation per month with them? Can they ever view us as a normal mom or dad or will they simply look upon us as a recreational visitor?
The family court system must be educated and overhauled in order to promote the truest standards of the meaning, Best Interests of the Children. Until then, these words will always ring hallow and used to fill up empty spaces on an order of parental responsibilities. When Judges finally decide our children must come first, it then that justice will prevail.
In the meantime, innocent parents will be thrown into the lion’s den and devoured like a lamb at slaughter during the process of court. Further, our children will be left with lingering doubts as to whether they were the problem or if they were unworthy of the love they were meant to receive. I find it unfathomable to understand why this problem even exists in the first place.
Parental alienators have managed to gain the upper hand in the battle to oppress their former spouse because, they understand if, they lie or manipulate first, they will win their case. On the other hand, the targeted victim(s) will have no choice other than, to remain on the defense against these erroneous actions. As such, we and our children will suffer greatly.
I feel in my heart that a time shall come a time when all parents and children rise up and demand that family equality must be recognized in the effort to promote familial relationships. However, there is fear for many of the reprisals from our alienator, enablers and even, the family courts who wish to stop us in this effort.
We must not allow them to control us in such a fashion. We are meant to be a parent and need to be recognized, as such. When we succumb to their wishes and demands then, they have won and we have lost. No man nor, woman or even our system of justice should ever be allowed to strip us of our right to be a parent.
When this happens, we have allowed Forbidden Justice to enter our lives.
