Parental Alienation Awareness Day -- April 25th
Happy New Year to all, and I hope you are off to a good start. We are beginning our Parental Alienation Awareness Day/April 25th with our Governor's campaign.
We are again looking for representatives to ask their governors to proclaim April 25th as Parental Alienation Awareness Day. We are pleased that the governors of the states of
The process is fairly easy and straightforward, and PAAO has the proclamation wording and petition request, along with statistics, articles, and much information about Parental Alienation. The requirement, however, is that a proclamation must be requested by, and sent to, a resident of that state.
We are calling on our
If you are interested in helping us get proclamations from our governors for April 25th, please respond to robin@paawareness.org, and I will be happy to send you the necessary information for your state. Patience and perseverance are key.
Let's make 2008 the year that all children will be able to give and receive all of the love they deserve.

No one feels sorry for you, you old coot. Kinda seems like u brought it on yourself?
You old coot? LOL...don't we all? Randy Dandy...geeezzzzz that's a captivating comment. If you think I'm looking for pity or even understanding--you clearly have no clue. And, that's a bit scary since you are the future...
You know "Randy Dandy," ...normally I wouldn't say much about this kind of comment. But, I will bring up the point that you really haven't accomplished that much to date...kind of like I figured it would happen. If you have something to say...then don't hide--stand up and say it to the world. If you're right, then never back down--just make damn sure you're right. It's amazing how impotent you all sound by not saying anything at all...
I've picked through your articles and all you are is an old man who is going to die alone and you're trying to make the rest of us feel for you. pooooooor david. and i'm not just going from what you wrote here. I'm going by personal experience...
and how the hell would you know what i have and haven't accomplished, you creep? you don't even know who i am, much less what i've done.
Do you truly believe I am looking for sympathy...? So, why don't you come talk to me...? Not man enough...? Perhaps you can talk me into learning something...perhaps not. Perhaps a way to find out just how good are you, huh?
Name calling...does that make you feel like a better man...? Picked through my articles? Gosh...I didn't realize you were qualified to judge me by experience, education, or intelligence. You really aren't, though are you...? I truly hope you never have to experience the evil, hate, and vindictiveness I've encountered. That's the kind of stuff you burn in hell for...
I will, of course, die one day...but, at least I can still look anyone in the eye anywhere in this world without shame. I truly hope you and "Mary" can do that as well. If I can help you all, I will...
Enough of this stuff...stand up like a full grown, haired all over man...
Are you two finished-I just stumbled on this post while I was googling PAS. Wanted to say way to go for keeping the awareness up. And take it easy on Randy. He/she (you never know on the internet:P ) just sounds like a dumb kid.
Yep...thanks! I understand that many have no clue. A lot of years back, I was young and dumb too. With some effort perhaps we can all get better...
agreed! I was just looking through your blog after I posted here, and I must say, it sounds like you've lead an interesting life. I'm always interested in new people I meet that seem to have a handle on things. Maybe you could post a bio somewhere for those of us curious about men like you?
LOL... I'm not sure I've a handle on much of anything anymore. About the time I think I have it figured out, something comes along and humbles me. I think I know who randy dandy is...I've not always done things right, but nothing was more important to me than the kids. It's a long story...and really sad.
I have a web site davidmcouch.com that pretty much says it all...I've been very fortunate my entire life...and, have lived 5 life times. The boys and Kristin really don't understand, and I don't hold anything against them. I'd actually like to help them as much as my daughter. But, they have a mother that's paranoid and fearful. I've tried everything I can think of to try to get her to work with me--clearly to no avail. It's a sad story and I'm concerned that it's adversely affecting all of them. I don't know what to do anymore.
I have facebook account too. You might want to check out the parental alienation group I created there.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
Well, Randy Dandy…
I have been hoping you would email me directly to say what you want to say. Your anger permeates everything you write…that can’t be good for you or anyone else, can it? I can see your intelligence, so think about it--we should talk. Consider what talking to me could do. It certainly can’t hurt anything can it…? And, maybe you can help me understand better.
I am completely open to discussing anything…just not in an open forum like this. Surely, you wouldn’t want that either, would you?
And yes, I am an old coot…I actually prefer “old guy,” but it doesn’t bother me either way. And, I certainly won't die alone. I've done my life. I have absolutely no problem with that--wisdom comes not from books. I didn’t get to where I am today by being a monster, creep, or even as wrong as you say. Of course I haven’t done everything correctly. Neither have you. Actually, I only know of one “perfect” person that ever walked this earth.
No, I’m not looking for sympathy nor am I doing the “woe is me” thing. But consider all…what can it hurt?
While waiting to be guillotined for helping others during the French Revolution, someone said, "Bailly, thou tremblest." "It is only from the cold," he replied. Now that's what I would call a courageous man.
For if we take a generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I never have seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself in spite of his fear, to carry on. Discipline, pride, self respect, self confidence, and the love of glory are attributes that will make a man courageous even when he is afraid.
And the greatest test of courage on the earth is to bear defeat without losing heart. Courage in strife is common enough; even dogs have it. But courage which can face the ultimate defeat of a life of good will...that is different, that is victory. Courage is the best gift of all to give to our children; courage stands before everything. It is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things: a person with courage has every blessing.
