One of the stepmom groups I belong to posted a link to this organization based in California:

They have some interesting information although it seems they need some website help and funding. The stepmom group posted a link to a page of Parental Alienation Short Stories:

Okay, some of the writing and stories are pretty hokey but there were parts that touched me, though for the most part I couldn’t help but think, “Man, I can do better than this!” Yeah, do I have some stories to tell. I may submit one to this website – not sure though because I am thinking about doing a book of my own.
I have written a great majority of what I have experienced as a stepmom in a bad situation. I just need to finish up a few things, go back through the documents my husband and I have accumulated through the years to make sure I have my facts straight and haven’t forgotten anything, and then add some of the research I have gathered.
Truthfully, it is painful to write about this stuff at times and there is only so much I can share on my blog or in public forums but I feel very strongly about documenting my experiences and doing something positive with them. PAS needs to stop, more light needs to be shed on the syndrome, parents who use alienation strategies, and stepfamily life in general. No matter how painful it is, or how ‘bitter’ it makes me look.
