A heart-wrenching depiction of PAS! Mother and child walking across dad with no concern for his emotional state or existence. A key component of PAS is that the child alienates the parent they once had a loving and kind relationship with. Sadly, this is the reality for too many parents.

#307, A Case of PAS
If this is true, then what happens in the family is ultra important! All the more reason to work together as co-parents. Putting the child first is always in the child’s best interest. Divorce is between the parents-ABOUT THE CHILD!

#305, Family
A theme of childhood abandonment! A child trying desperately to mask the fighting of her parents! A sad reality for some children. Parents are really fighting, pointing fingers, mouth is open ….. Parental conflict creates insecurity and confusion for the child. Watching the two people they love and trust-fighting!

#304, Please STOP
One pic is worth a thousand words!
An unfortunate depiction of divorce! This iconic family drawing reveals a blatant hole! A place where the child should be. Do parents wonder how their actions impact the family? Are they aware that making efforts to keep one child from their other parent hurts a lot of people?
Clearly, Divorce is between the parents-ABOUT THE CHILD!
LOVE WINS!!! LOVE WINS!!! LOVE WINS!!! LOVE WINS!!!

A disturbing pic with a powerful message!
Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones by H. J. Warren
“Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words could never hurt me.”
And this I knew was surely true
And Truth could not desert me.
But now I know it is not so.
I’ve changed the latter part;
For sticks and stones may break the bones
But words can break the heart.
Sticks and stones may break the bones
But leave the spirit whole,
But simple words can break the heart
Or silence crush the soul.”
.
#301, Sticks and Stones
A common theme in divorce is the child thinking that THEY did something wrong……. If there was only a way that parents could divorce legally, have the child switch homes two times per week, alternate holidays and change lifestyle without the child being impacted emotionally. Is that even possible? Perhaps the better question is “How is that ?”possible.
Note the sad eyes of he child on the stairs. The forlorn look while watching her parents argue. The bottom half of a wedding pic….. Parents seem to have intense fights. Who would want their child exposed to such verbal fights?

#300, All My Fault
A very revealing pic of divorce! The Dopamine Clinic shown TWO times! Dad is on the phone-is he working or ignoring his family? Is that REALLY the quintessential message of the American father? Mom is interacting with the child, smiling. Child looks out with no smile-representing???? The two green creatures with arms crossed in the upper left corner are curious. On the left side, upside down is a piece of pleading paper (used in legal proceedings… upside down may represent how divorce turns lives upside down? The overall fragmentation and collage of pics and jewelry-the brooch.
The ever-present, shattered glass!
“This image was created by the artist to depict the inevitable sadness that accompanies the splintering of the modern family in American life.”

A descriptive analogy of divorce! Exposing a child to parental conflict is like engaging in a tug-of-war of words and actions. No one benefits when communication requires a referee to the games that parents play. Be mindful that Divorce is between the parents-ABOUT THE CHILD!

An adult child of divorce shares their thoughts on divorce and the impact on their life. Family events during childhood set the stage for how the child develops. One parent keeping the child from a co-parent will have lasting implications. In many cases, a child will figure out what transpired and express thoughts on what SHOULD have happened. How could this have been done differently? A child should have access to both parents. What happens when one parent chooses not the co-parent? The child experiences guilt because they want to have a relationship with both parents-and that should not be an issue.

For me the hardest part of my parents’ divorce was adjusting to having two families. One, that my mom wanted me to be in and one that my mom did not want me to be a part of-with my dad. The divorce doesnt bother me. What does bother me is being made to feel guilty for wanting to spend time with my dad. To say it does not bring pain, doubts, and questions would be a lie.

#297, Hardest Part
WOW! Excellent portrayal of divorce from the child’s perspective!
Artists’ verbiage:
Dad: you have to understand why I had to leave you with your mother…
Son: the only thing that I understand is that my father doesn’t care for his family… You made my mom cry….
Dad: Look… I know I have done the most horrible mistake for get the divorce with your mother… But now I want to get her back…
Son: No… You don’t deserve my mother’s love… And you never will… You left her when she needed you more than anyone…
Dad: I just need a Chance… Please Son… “
