The Baby Whisperer
Parenting does not start when the baby is born. It starts even before, when you decide you want to become a parent.
Raising a child is probably one of the most transcending and transforming experiences for us, as human beings, because it relies on values, creativity, communication and "going beyond yourself", with dedication, not sacrifice..

You are not a possession of your family; You do not own your children.
Parental Alienation
Is mostly to happen in toxic separation and divorce cases. But it does happen in “normal” families, too, when the couple decides to “stay together” and raise the kids, but they also brainwash their children. Justifiable or unjustifiable, consciously and intentionally, or quite the opposite, without even knowing, unconsciously, one parent brainwashes the children against “the targeted parent”. This has destructive and negative long term consequences on children and parents.
PA/PAS are seen as one facet of domestic violence, a very hidden one, since it is not physical.
Preventing PA to happen is preventing domestic violence to happen.

Towards The End ...
The decision that you need professional help has to be entirely your decision before you enter the counseling & psycho-therapeutic process. Still, some see the work of helping professions as a way of making a living out of people's misery. Especially when helping professions attend to people who suffer from terminal illness or those who are recovering from life threatening symptoms like cancer, HIV etc. some wonder "Why? There is not much to do or say!" They see the sufferer more as an easy target for abuse.
I worked with people recovering from cancer and those who knew they are eventually going to die of cancer.
They say that when there is nothing left to say, any word means a lot more.
We never talked about the illness too long but what it means for their lives.
While letting people ask for your help before you jump in "with good intentions", has always been good practice, knowing that emotional support, the connection with another human being is needed right until The End, and that the connection makes the difference until the last moments ... has been one of the most enlightening experiences for me.
