VIDEO: "What is parental alienation?" Parental alienation is when a parent allows a child to participate or hear them degrade the other parent. This is not uncommon in divorces and the children often adjust. In severe cases, however, it can be devastating to the child. This video provides a helpful overview.

Thanks for sharing everyone.  Lots of cooler wiser heads.  Just wanted to share, I've been able to withhold the firing off of my Last Farewell FU rant email.  It helped to be able to talk it thru a bit with an honest trusted friend.  Not out of the woods yet.  But haven't shot thru my foot with indignant self-righteousness either in attempting to call out the obvious.

Excerpt
  This fantasy we have of finally breaking through, of finally making sense to them, of finally being heard, is precisely one of the reasons we continued taking them back (or coming back). We believed that our case was so obvious that there is no possible way to deny it, and yet... .they always managed to deflect it

Just wanted to say that I've sent both painful truthful say it all at once letters like the one you shared here, and loving pleading apologizing letters, each being who I was at that time, saying what I felt to say, and I still am where I am, it still went the way it was going to go, and it didn't make it better either way as far as she was concerned.

This really says it doesn't it?

For the additional reason of WE needed to hear it, to read it, to say it. To reaffirm it for ourselves, to make sense of what was happening. To find out who WE really are.

If it's best for YOU to send a letter, send it. If it's not, it's probably best to walk away. Easier to do that with the healthiest feet you can, as you so rightly pointed out.
