NATHAN'S Law-Parents automatically have shared custody and parental responsibility of their child
MANAGING ANGER AND FRUSTRATION
Anger is a natural reaction to injustice — and parental alienation is deeply unjust.
When someone deliberately damages your bond with your child, the rage and frustration can be intense. You may feel powerless, silenced, or dismissed by systems that are meant to protect families.
WHAT YOU MIGHT BE FEELING
Feeling unheard by legal or social systems
Watching your child suffer and being unable to intervene
Seeing lies or manipulation go unchallenged
Being shut out of your child's life
These feelings are not only normal – they’re understandable. But unchecked anger can harm your health, your legal case, and your long-term relationship with your child.
HOW TO MANAGE IT
Pause before reacting: Especially during interactions with professionals, ex-partners, or your child.
Channel anger into action: Advocacy, journaling. exercise, or helping others in similar situations can give your feelings purpose.
Practice calming techniques: Breathing exercises, grounding strategies, and mindfulness can reduce emotional spikes.
My son Nathan (27) died on 27th March 2021. My ex-wife excluded me and my family from all aspects of his funeral. She has been psychologically and emotionally abusing our son for years but I was powerless.
I didn't realise until it was too late that she had embarked on a campaign of hate. Pretending to be nice to my face but undermining me behind my back.
She triangulated with our two other children and they just abused Nathan.
The circumstances surrounding his death are suspicious but the legal and social system aren't interested. In fact, I was told by the criminal justice system defence barrister that I risked bankruptcy and I still would not get anywhere if I continued to pursue.
Every day since my son's death has been a struggle but I know he would want me to continue and use his story to make the world a better place which I intend to do. This charity is the start!
