Parental Alienation is a form of Child Abuse?
*************************
Parental alienation is a group of behaviors that are damaging to children's mental and emotional well-being, and can interfere with a relationship of a child and either parent. Parental alienation involves the mental manipulation and/or bullying of children, which can result in destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent.
*************************
These behaviors whether verbal or non-verbal, cause a child to be mentally manipulated or bullied into believing a loving parent is the cause of all their problems, and/or the enemy, to be feared, hated, disrespected and/or avoided.
*************************
Parental alienation and hostile aggressive parenting, deprive children of their right to be loved by and showing love for both of their parents. Children are given two parents for a reason. These destructive actions by the alienating parent (or family member) who is responsible for the manipulations and bullying, are considered a form of child abuse - as the alienating tactics used on the children are disturbing, confusing and often frightening, and rob children of their sense of security and safety.
*************************
Parents/guardians using alienation tactics to hurt the other 'target' parent have been compared to cult leaders. These people put their own hatred, anger and motives before the childs emotional and mental health. In effect, they treat the children as nothing more than possessions, and ammunition to hurt the 'target' parent.
*************************
Sometimes the children are coached in what to say to. Sometimes they simply want to please their residential parents or family members by saying what they believe that the parent or family member wants them to say. Occasionally the children blame their 'other parent' for any problems they or their residential parent seem to have as a result of family division. It can vary, therefore, from deliberate poisoning of a relationship to something not explicitly intended at all.
*************************
Most people do not know about Parental Alienation and Hostile Aggressive Parenting until they experience it. It is unfortunate that Parental Alienation Awareness is hardly acknowledged. The effects of parental alienation are unimaginable. Parental Alienation Awareness is put forth to help raise awareness about this growing problem of mental and emotional child abuse.
*************************
With awareness comes education and understanding, and the power to stop the abuse of innocent children caught in the crossfire of people they love. Children deserve to have equal time and a loving relationship with both parents.... It's a terrible form of abuse that should be brought to the forefront. When one parent or any other relative keeps a child away from another parent by false allegations that child loses not just one parent but, it loses a whole other family. A family that is important to that child's life. Let's all join together and fight child abuse......"Together We Can Make A Difference"
