In Our Family Portrait

August 1, 2015 By in Adult Children of Divorce, All Confessions, Impact on Child

 

A sad depiction of divorce.  The artist describes the pic: “We look pretty happy We look pretty normal, let’s go back to that In our family portrait we look pretty happy  Let’s play pretend, act like it goes naturally. Divorce is something no kid wants to go through.”

Note the vast differences in the facial expressions in the ‘divorce’ pics on the top row.  The dolls face reveals cuts and stitches indicating the emotional hurt and pain this child suffered in the divorce.

What Divorce Does!

August 1, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

This graphic piece of art is the work of an adult  child of divorce!  The flames consume the page.  The eyes at the forefront are so sad. The presentation of the child seems to have a demonic quality.  If you look closely you can see another set of eyes in the flame.  Divorce damages the perception of family for some people.  VERY ALARMING!!!! (No pun intended.)  This is a horribly graphic depiction of divorce!

A Really Hard Day

July 29, 2015 By in All Confessions, Parental Experiences

 

Parents rearranging schedules to keep one parent from seeing their child is hurtful to the child and to the parent being excluded.  Here is one experience outlining the hurt and devastation.  One would wonder if this mom considered the emotional pain this could (and did) cause their son.  

If one parent is trying to ‘win’…then the child is losing out at some level.

Divorce is between the parents-ABOUT THE CHILD!

LOVE WINS!!!    LOVE WINS!!!     LOVE WINS!!!    LOVE WINS!!!

Today was my boyfriends day to have his kids from 3(after school) until 6 PM, court order I mind you. The mother of the children took it in her own power to demand that today she is picking up the kids saying my boyfriend gave her the right to, which is untrue. We went and spoke with the summer teachers and daycare and they were saying how his son was asking continuously throughout the day if his daddy was picking him up and if it was 3 yet…the kids are always looking forward to his days picking them up. She did as she said she was and got them against court order and we went to the police and showed up at her house. We saw her drive by and the cops called her and they were so awesome and polite and just asked for her to come back so we can a figure this thing out. She refused and from what I heard was completely disrespectful to the cops. We had his court orders in hand at the time which didn’t really do much…I get that the cops can only do so much and I appreciate any efforts that they make…but what gets me is, the ex took time away from my boyfriend from his kids, she took time away from her own kids that look forward to time with their father…neither of them will ever have that time again, it was taken…even the courts can’t replace the 3 hours that my boyfriend should have gotten with his kids today. The courts are so unfair, even bringing this to court, really, what is it going to do so my boyfriend can have his kids in his life and not just be a bystander?!?!? So frustrated, angry and broken…today was a really hard day…

Unhappy Homes

July 29, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork from Child

 

A very descriptive piece of artwork.  House is split down the middle with a jaw like sharp edge.  Perhaps indicating the roughness of this emotional experience.  Notably, the ‘pappa’ does not have a door :(.  Both parents appear very sad.

Sadness

July 29, 2015 By in All Confessions, Impact on Child

 

Sometimes ‘leaving’ one parent is difficult for young ones.  A child is trying to adjust to not having full access to both parents.  A very emotional experience for a child.  Parents working together can make the exchange less emotional.  I hope someone is validating this child’s  emotional needs on an immediate and long term basis.

Family Drama

July 26, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

A pic showing a family divided.  Mom comforting a young one.  Dad in the background with a sad look on his face.  He is holding the had of a child.  Of concern, is the angle.  Dad seems to be trying to stand on a hill (?).  There seems to be a reflection of water or ice-indicating he is slipping.  A very dramatic show of divorce and family drama.

Victims of PAS

July 26, 2015 By in All Confessions, Psychological Abuse-child

 

The reality of PAS if the impact on the child!  How true these statements are.  Shared Parenting is for the child!  Parents have an obligation to see that their child have what they need in life in order to develop into a happy and healthy individual.  Shared Parenting offers the child the best of both worlds…..which is both parents!

.

PAS is now quite common.  Numerous support forums have been established because of PAS.  PAS is real!  There are thousands of heart-wrenching calls and letters from parents whose children have been taught to fear or hate them. Both mothers and fathers can be perpetrators of Parental Alienation, but the true victims are always the children.  Please don’t make your child a victim of PAS.  Parent your child.  Share Parenting with your ex.  Think to put the child first.  PAS means you are putting the hatred you have for your ex BEFORE the Love you have for your child!.  Love your child MORE than you hate your ex.

Broken Home

July 26, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

A rather dramatic piece.  Child is at the father’s feet,  Mother in the distance.  The ominous being holding a weapon of some sort keeping guard.  By the title, there is family discord.  I hope they can work things out and stay together!

Don’t Know

July 26, 2015 By in All Confessions, Artwork About Child

 

A unique perception of divorce!  Showing the present and the past.  An outline of the parents upside down in red below the child’s lookout.  Several outlines of the parents in this piece perhaps representing the many thoughts.  The X seems to be over a female figure(?).  The lost look on the child’s face.  Holding on to what is in front of them looking out into the vast openness of a happier time.
