You can choose to have your camera on or off and participate or just listen.** **PA-A is designed to support people in different phases of the alienation continuum, from those with absolutely no contact, to partial contact and to members who have reestablished regular contact.

What this means is we are recovery based. We concentrate on working on solutions to our emotional, spiritual and physical challenges that arise out of alienation and all of our relationships.

We also share in a way that supports and uplifts our community. This is really useful if you feel stuck, hopeless and alone. It keeps us out of the spiral of alienation and gives us a way out.** **Some people think once their alienated child or family member is back in their lives that reconnection will be a relatively smooth process, but the reality is that recovery is a lifelong journey. As PA-A grows in numbers and strength, we will learn how to heal and thrive as a community. Some of the greatest support I receive is in my daily integration of rebuilding a relationship with one of my daughters.** **We as a community have had so many success stories of people reuniting and more importantly seeing people in early stages that have some contact with their loved ones deepen and heal before full on alienation sets in.** **Please send any questions to [parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com](mailto:parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com)** **Welcome and we hope to see you in the rooms!!**

Learn an approach to parenting that embraces diversity and change, leads to a secure parent-child bond founded on mutual respect and love, and will guide you when you are on your own. Ask questions and share your concerns in a supportive space. Whether you are a parent, or just beginning to consider having a child, you are welcome, and owe it to yourself and your child to be here.

There are 8 meetings during the week with slightly different topics and people at each meeting. This is a PARENTAL ALIENATION 12 STEP support group meeting. If you feel like you are always explaining your alienation story, if you fell that close family and friends don't really get it, if you are looking for a safe place to have a shared reality with other folk struggling and if you are looking for tools to support and resource yourself this is a great meeting for you. The meetings over the last several months have been transformative for me. I have friends now that understand what I am going through and there is no need to explain my vocabulary. There is someone that is or has gone through the same thing as me. I am not isolating as much and feel resourced to show up in my life to a degree I haven't felt in along time. If you are new to support group meetings I will give you a 2 minute narrative of what to expect. We meet on zoom with or without a camera on. It is suggested to have your camera on. There is a meeting leader and secretary that run the meeting. The leader reads an intro and then shares on PA or a related topic for 3-5 minutes. After that there is a quick secretary report and then the meetings is opened for all to share. Some folks share, some folks just listen, there is no wrong or right way. These are closed (alienated folks only) meeting for parents, step parents, grand parents, uncles, aunts and any other family or friends struggling with any form of alienation. Please message me with any questions parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com or go to pa-a.org to register for a weekly email with meeting times, locations and links. This will save you having to check your meetup inbox for a link. I suggest coming 10minutes early to hang out informally before the meeting starts. It a great time to connect and hopefully chuckle a couple of times. Hope to see you at a meeting.
