I'm not saying this is the case here or making out victims, this bloke was a piece of shit.
@wendog33 I'm replying to this article you posted

But what I wanted to point out is, speaking from my own experience that parental alienation is a huge problem after couples have separated. It takes a mental and physical toll on you, it also doesn't help if your ex partner is also constantly adding to the situation. Now there are some ex partners out there that are terrible, who will sabotage and do what ever they can to make it hard for you to see your children (My ex falls in this category)
Now, in my situation my ex pretty much see's me, and treats me like all i am is a sperm donor, made my children call me by my name as she didn't want them calling me dad (she made them call her new partner dad) and made every little thing as hard as possible, wether that be access to the children or just trying to communicate about them. I would go months at times without seeing them, to now where it's been 3-4 years. I've asked many times could I talk to them by phone, asked for pictures, but she does nothing. It got to a point where I just had to give up because it was just killing me the whole situation. We tried mediation, but it was a fail because she could never make her mind up about things and kept changing it everytime it looked like we were in agreement.
Now, sorry if I rambled on a bit there I just wanted to give an idea of what my situation was and tell you how it mentally affects you dealing with parental alienation.
As I said, I'm just speaking in general and not saying that this is the case or has anything to do with this case. I'm speaking more about the honest fathers and mothers that are missing out through unfair situations.
I was given a good book by my counselor about parents separating and parental alienation. I have it in electronic form if you feel you would like to read it.
