Parental alienation has all but ended my happiness and the life I deserve to live.

My ex husband has been brainwashing my children since they were under 10 years old, telling them I don't love them, I never cared about them, they are stupid to want a "loser" like me in their lives...and our three children have seemingly accepted this as truth.

My heart has been shattered into dust over the last 25 years since I married this Narcissist that doesn't deserve to keep our children hostage simply (in his mind) to spite me for being a better person than he is. By this I mean; I truly love and care about others, my children actually ARE my most important priority and love in life, I'm dying slowly without them and because I couldn't afford an attorney for our divorce, after 15 years in this abusive marriage, I got absolutely nothing in our divorce except custody of our 17 year old daughter (so he only had to pay support for her for less than a year and she had chosen to come to me after our divorce when she was sick of being the new "victim" of her father's narcissism). 

Im supposed to have my 14 year old every other weekend and should've had my other son after the divorce (as the custody order deems) but he bribed them into stopping their visits telling the children that they'll just end up like losers like their mother if they have anything to do with me. Meanwhile he was abusing meth, offered it to our daughter at around 17 years old, and having them drive him around to drug houses to sell and buy drugs because he didn't have a license. He'd ended up in jail for 10 days for some type of assault where he walked right into the neighbors home and punched their 20 something year old son. And while he was in jail they were home alone. 

I love my children beyond words and even though I'd left with the children on several occasions I'd only asked for supervised visits once otherwise I never kept the children from him even though i should have. I grew up without a father so I truly thought that was the right decision at the time. Plus, he'd threatened to kill me if I ever took them from him. 

I can't even suggest what to ask for in this petition, honestly. There needs to be a huge justice reform in this type of case or accusation of. There's got to be a way of proving this crime *my opinion* over a child's lifetime and giving justice to the alienated parent. 

This country needs to open their eyes regarding mental health, it's consequences, and those that intentionally abuse and endanger their children in order to punish the other parent because their egos were wounded somehow or another. Or took their control away. 

To some this may seem an amateur plea. I can admit I'm not the most educated in the government and justice system, because i don't trust them. What i do know is that ocer the last 15 years of researching parental alienation I have spoken to and read other parents experiences in this matter and it's shredding the  children in this country, their homes, and the families that build them, for selfish, adolescent reasons. 

This should absolutely be illegal along with narcissism as well, which I'll be creating a petition for as well. 

The truly evil and those that support them should be held accountable for ruining their children's and their other parents lives as if its a game. The justice system does nothing but turn a blind eye to this abuse because (in my opinion) it definitely would take some extra leg work to work these cases and create real justified orders as such. I feel like judges do absolutely nothing, especially in my home county of Mille Lacs, MN. They scam attorneys (and vice versa) for their own monetary gain so they have to do the least amount of work possible. Meanwhile the families involved in these family courts are played like puppets. They're treated as if their hearts, their children, the children's lives they deserve to be a part of have no meaning and don't deserve the time and energy of the court system. It's pathetic.
