If my son is going thru PAS and currently dealing with issues with my (dad) fighting to keep him in WI and not moving to Soth Dakota. I wonder if I should take him to see a therapist to help him deal with what is going on and to find out how he feels about the attempted move without me being in the room, just him and the therapist. My son is 4yrs old.

How do you know your 4 year old son is going through PAS? PA describes what a parent does to create a lack of trust or fear in the other parent. This be mild, moderate or severe. When the PA is severe, it is likely to turn into a child who has PAS, is brainwashed to think that the other parent is a bad or evil person and dangerous to be around. It sounds like what may be happening is a parentectomy, cutting one parent out of a child's life.

You can find a lot more by going to www.breakthroughparentingonline.com and reading the articles there under the divorce tab.

Would your son be able to talk to a therapist? maybe if he knew them really well- if your child is haveing emotional trouble right now is probably not the time to move. Is this move imparative? Why are you moving and do you have a custody agreement in place?
Also, if you are not packing boxes and have a new address, I wouldn't bother a child with the move until you know for sure it is going to happen.
no need to stress this child of nothing! Yes you should ttake your son to a therapist- and allow them to form a bond, then after he has been able to work through his emotions on a 4yr old level and time table - then revisit the moving idea.You should go to therapy with him, learn what you can do to help your son and self. Get dad involved if you can- if not thats fine
