"Amor de papá"

Hi, today I have to write about any issue I want. So I going to talk about “amor de papá” an organization of genereally dads, their objective is fight for rights of all the child in Chile and protect them for parental alination. I choose to talk about it, becouse yesterday I interviewed one member of “amor de papá” and was very intesting, also strong because he talk to me his story.

Parental alination is a social dynamic, generally occurring due to divorce or separation, when a child expresses unjustified hatred or unreasonably strong dislike of one parent, making access by the rejected parent difficult or impossible. These feelings may be influenced by negative comments by the other parent and by the characteristics, such as lack of empathy and warmth, of the rejected parent. The term does not apply in cases of actual child abuse, when the child rejects the abusing parent to protect themselves. Parental alienation is controversial in legal and mental health professions, both generally and in specific situations. Realistic estrangement is a different phenomenon from "pathological alienation". The former is an understandable refusal by a child to see an abusive parent, while the latter is emotionally harmful and unjustified

Well this organization have a main objective: get to chance the article 225 of civil code to finish with abuse suffered by children and finish dads discrmination by family courts. Also they keep an eye on family court not to continue sheltering disfuntional mather.

I belive that this issue isn`t very commented at least in Chile, and therefor is so important started to talk about it.

I hope that this has concerned and if yo want more information about “amor de papá” you can click on here: http://www.amordepapa.org/
