From a reader, HG:
Hello,
I am a reader of your blog, and I was hoping I could enlist your assistance for my cause. I am going to be petitioning the Governor of my state, Virginia, to proclaim April 25th Parental Alienation Awareness Day, and I have started a petition in support of the proclamation. I am trying to get as many signatures as possible, especially Virginians - but I am having a really hard time. (Which, I guess, is why awareness is so important!)
I am hoping that you might see fit to make your readers aware of the petition. If you would like to sign, or post the link, the petition can be found here:
Petition to have Parental Alienation Awareness Day recognized in Virginia
Thank you - and keep writing! Your blog has been a huge help to my husband and I. Especially the low/no contact.

Let’s help HG see her project through to successful recognition by officials in the state of Virginia. Sign the petition.
Last year, we here at thepsychoexwife, shined a spotlight on Parental Alienation Awareness Day 2008. Many, many readers submitted their own experiences with parental alienation. Some involved their offspring. Some were children of alienators. On April 25, 2008 - we posted a story approximately every 30-minutes for 24-hours. It was tough, because I was using software that didn’t allow me to schedule posts… so DW and I split up our sleep times and post times to make sure we honored our commitment.
They were all heartbreaking stories that were shared in an effort to make sure that spotlight shined bright! I thank again all those who found the strength to share their story.
This year, we would like to do something very similar… only without the specific time interval! So, if you have a story that you would like to share, send it to us. As always, names will be changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty. The important part of this exercise is to share the story and show the world that parental alienation exists… it hurts children and parents… and needs to be accounted for in court, as we’ve seen occurring more and more in the news, not just in the United States but beyond, too!
Visit the Parental Alienation Awareness Day Organization Website for events in your town, your city, your state, your country! If you are sending a submission to us for posting on April 25th, 2009 - please include “PAS STORY” in the subject line… and thank you for even considering doing so. Spread the word.
