[quote=Anonymous]My husband's ex inlaws have done this to his kids.   Probably not to the extent your ex wife has.   But he did switch when the kids were teens or so, to just having dinner out with them once a week or so.   And they text.  It's sad they don't have weekends over here anymore.  But at least he's been able to keep a relationship going.

The only time I've known reunification therapy to be court-ordered, it was actually the father who was alienating his own son, and the therapy was to repair their relationship.  And the father had no interest in doing it, so of course it didn't work.

I agree with PP who said perhaps get your own therapist and find some strategies that might maintain contact with your kids.  One helpful thing is maintaining boundaries about discussions.  If you get into discussions where you are always defending yourself, you will lose out.

The kids "will" figure out what's going on when they are adults themselves -- if you can at least keep some regular contact. [/quote]
