I decided to look for support group of people with experiences similar to mine, with no luck. Plenty of support groups for substance users, population with mental health issues, eating disorders ........... but none for victims of parental kidnapping. I decided to create this blog in hopes of finding people who can relate and also to bring the subject of parental kidnapping out of a closet.

Sharing my story
After years of keeping my son's kidnapping a secret, I decided to publicly share this life event with some of my coworkers. After I briefly explained my story, the room was quiet, everyone's discomfort was palpable and I felt as if I was naked and judged. Later that evening, crying, I described my experience of sharing my story to a friend. His comment was " You just cannot drop a bomb like that on people" Really? I cannot inconvenience people by sharing something I have to live every day? Why is parental kidnapping a taboo subject yet it happens every day?
