The parent who orchestrates the parental alienation often becomes a very angry, lying, manipulative person who most negatively impacts not just self but also the child he or she professes to love. The child gets in the middle of both parents and is often coerced to do lying, repeating, imagining, treating horribly the alienated parent and being in a position to always comfort, agree with and support the parent who is doing the alienating. The alienated parent is in the situation of suffering great emotional distress as the child he or she loves treats him or her  horribly and refuses to even work on changing or talking things out. Things even get worse when the alienated child is encouraged to have little or nothing to do with grandparents and other members of the family of the alienated parent. This can lead to problems with family cohesion and further isolates the alienated parent as the the child also becomes alienated from many or all family members on his or her side. The tragedy is complete and often is never rectified because the anger in embedded with beliefs that often take hold and do not change. The sad thing is that the parents  who do the alienating would be appalled if they saw another person doing the same thing because they are not aware of what they are doing or choose to ignore it as they take on a virtuous image of self as trying to help the child against the evil or horrible parent of the child. Often this alienation  is a continuation of a divorce or a horrible break-up of the couple that one cannot accept.

All in all, animals are a wonderful gift from God and nature to add to the general happiness of all human beings on earth in so many vital ways. At our own level, my wife and I are very fortunate to have our beloved cat,Kalua, who is nearly 19 years old,as a loving and wonderful part of the family every day. We also greatly enjoy the big German Shepherd of our son and daughter-in-law, Patton, who has all the energy of the world and every time he sees us convinces us we are the most remarkable people in the world. We also must remember emotional support animals who help people through times of difficulty to have the type of animal support that is so assuring and helps them to better live emotionally in times of high anxiety and depression.

For Christians, we celebrate the birth of Christ with Christmas Carols, family gatherings and church activities. We celebrate the man with the title of THE PRINCE OF PEACE. A few quotes of Jesus give all of us good goals to strive for:

1. DO TO OTHERS WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO TO YOU.
2. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS
3. TRULY I TELL YOU, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF MINE, YOU DID FOR ME.

Personally I have had wonderful Christmas family memories my whole life and am buoyant with excitement for the one this year.

The death of a spouse is an overwhelmingly traumatic event. This is true even when someone has had an opportunity to prepare emotionally for the death. An early death of the other spouse is sometimes called the “WIDOWHOOD EFFECT”. Because of the emotional pain caused by the death the person has an increased vulnerability to both psychological and physical illnesses. Common psychological outcomes include Depression and Anxiety. Common physical outcomes are strokes and heart attacks. A large research study showed that rates of death doubled during the first three months after the death of a spouse. Things to do when one loses a spouse would include:

1. SEEK OUT FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO INTERACT.
2. SEEK OUT SPIRITUAL SUPPORT AS APPROPRIATE.
3. ORGANIZE SELF IN A MANNER TO CARE FOR SELF EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
4. REMEMBER AND CHERISH THE PAST BUT FIND NEW THINGS TO DO OR ACCOMPLISH GOALS FROM THE PAST THAT WERE NEVER BEGUN OR FINISHED.
5. DO.NOT LET OTHERS DETERMINE HOW YOU WILL GRIEVE.
6. AS DEEMED NECESSARY, SEEK OUT A THERAPIST TO HELP YOU WITH EMOTIONAL CONCERNS.
7. SEE MEDICAL DOCTOR IF PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS DEVELOP.

I believe it is safe to say a love of reading is the key to unlocking all the knowledge in the world and making it available for your child. The following are some activities to help your child develop a love for reading: 1. Read to your child from day one or some say even before birth. 2. Find times to read that are comfortable for both of you. 3. To have some predictable times will better guarantee reading always occurs. 4. Read with enthusiasm and joy to model these behaviors that hopefully they will develop. 5. Have a wide variety of reading materials in the house ranging from comic books to classical literature. The availability of e-book readers is becoming more important day by day. 6. Allow your children choices on what they read and do not let your interests interfere with their reading development. Respect their preferences. 7. Encourage your child to be involved in read-a-thons. 8. Point at letters and words on signs encountered. 9. Have your child write book reports and private diaries consistent with their age. 10. Explain vocabulary to help your child understand more quickly as you read. This does not eliminate the need for children to also learn vocabulary on their own. 11. Have the family read the same book and discuss it. 12. Have your child read to you as you pay attention. Three good quotations on reading are: 1.TODAY A READER, TOMORROW A LEADER. Margaret Fuller. THE PERSON WHO DESERVES MOST PITY IS A LONESOME ONE ON A RAINY DAY WHO DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO READ. Benjamin Franklin. 3. ONCE YOU LEARN TO READ,YOU WILL BE FOREVER FREE. Frederick Douglas.

Those who do learn lessons from their difficulties and implement them become wise and can help others not encounter the same difficulties.

A difficult mental health task for many human beings is how to have boundaries that allow us to not be so rigid we destroy or severely hamper relationships or have boundaries so weak that people take advantage of us. To get the middle ground that leads to healthy boundaries in relationships is clearly more difficult than it seems on the face of it. Some key factors for healthy boundaries would be as follows: 1. LEARN “NO” IS A FULLY LEGITIMATE CHOICE. 2. BE REASONABLE. 3. ALLOW OTHERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE TRUSTED. 4. DO NOT BE SELFISH. 5. DO NOT BE DEMANDING. 6. DUMP PEOPLE WHO DO NOT RESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES.
