What is parental alienation?

Question What is parental alienation and why the whole world should know that parents, not just fathers are having their lives turn apart but not being able to see their children. I am not talking about abusive parents, that is a totally different issue, I am talking about regular mums and dads who's relationship has been destroyed by the systematic denigration of one parent to the other with the intent of alienating the child against the other parent

A GUIDE TO THE PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME

What is it? The Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) is the systematic denigration by one parent by the other with the intent of alienating the child against the other parent. The purpose of the alienation is usually to gain or retain custody without the involvement of the father. The alienation usually extends to the father's family and friends as well.

Parental alienation info

PAS has been practised for as long as marital or relationship conflicts have occurred. It is the conscious action of one parent turning against another to oust the other parent from the affection, love and respect or regard of their children. It works more effectively when used against younger, passive children and less so with older, more assertive children.

Raising Awareness of Parental Alienation and Hostile Aggressive Parenting

Interventions for PA start with self-care: being in the present, authentic and having gratitude. Success requires goals of leading a full, balanced and accountable life, and staying positive in seeing PA/PAS as time-limited stage. Though victimized, never be a victim of self pity; using evolving strategic combinations of education, therapeutic interventions and court orders.
