My name is Penny, I live in Northampton County, Pa., I have 2 grown children and 5 grandchildren.
Dec. 18, 2024, I had a wonderful caring loving relationship with my granddaughter, we saw each other at least every other day, we enjoyed doing crafts together, we both had a love for the water, had a yearly tradition of exploring Florida beaches for shells and shark teeth.
On Dec. 19, 2024, that relationship was ripped away from us - and it may be kept from us for years, until she is old enough to realize why and how we were kept apart. It was a sleepless night in January when I discovered the word alienation and how very real and harmful it is. Many more sleepless nights and research, brings me here, telling my story, raising awareness and fighting for our children.
Driven by personal experience and a deep concern for the emotional well being of families, I am now advocating for raising awareness of parental, family, and grandparent alienation. Having witnessed firsthand the silent but devastating impact of alienation on children and extended families, I am committed to shedding light on this often-overlooked issue. MY advocacy centers around educating the public, supporting those affected, and promoting policies that prioritize the best interests of children by preserving healthy family bonds. Through community outreach, and collaboration with professionals in mental health and family law, I hope to bring healing, understanding, and lasting change to families fractured by alienation.
Advocacy is the antidote for despair. I invite you to reach out to me, share your story, get your strength and sanity back. One day she will know I did not abandon her, I fought for her!
To the parents who are actively destroying their children’s bonds just to gain more money and control in court—your children will never forget what you’ve done. They will grow up and see how you used them as pawns, not out of love, but out of greed and control. No custody order, no support payment, and no property settlement will ever justify the emotional scars you’ve inflicted.
You cannot disguise abuse and neglect behind legal strategy. You cannot erase the damage done by isolating your children from those who truly loved and protected them. One day, they will understand that the gifts were bribes, the lies were deliberate, and the “parenting” was manipulation designed to secure a financial advantage and maintain control —not their well-being.
Children know who really stood by them. They know who made them feel safe and who made them feel used. You may gain money now, but you’re losing something far more valuable—the trust and love of your child. And when that truth hits them, no amount of money or legal victory will ever buy it back.
And know this—God sees everything. Every lie, every act of manipulation, every time you weaponized your child’s love to serve your own selfish goals. You may fool a judge, twist a narrative, or pad your bank account, but you will never escape divine accountability. If you think you won’t answer for the pain you’ve caused - there will be a reckoning—for every broken bond, every silenced cry, and every child you used as a tool instead of loving as a gift. What you do in the dark will be brought into the light.
