Parental alienation is when one parent manipulates a child to have a less than favourable opinion of the other parent. This could lead to the child rejecting the other parent outright.
This is a widespread issue that occurs in this community because narcissists commonly seek to punish their ex-partner by using their own child against them. It is a very cruel and effective tool.
And what is so frustrating and devastating in these instances, is that the narcissist does not wish to collaborate and work for the best interests of the child.
Instead, he or she is more likely to try to discredit you and use the children as pawns against you.
Also what is true about narcissists is the more that you try to engage them to get sanity, teamwork and decency (even concerning your children) the more they will use your contact against you to hook, bait and trigger you. This hands them the significance of knowing that they have the power to hurt you.
It is for this reason that the concept of Parallel Parenting is far more effective and better for you and the children.
