The term “breadcrumbing” refers to manipulative behaviour where one person in a relationship, for example, the alienating parent, provides occasional or minimal contact or engagement to the other parent in order to maintain control. Breadcrumbing perpetuates a sense of false hope and further intensifies the emotional distress experienced by the alienated parent, and by engaging in breadcrumbing, the alienating parent can continue manipulating the situation, potentially reinforcing the child’s negative perception of the alienated parent or further undermining their relationship. Offering ‘crumbs’ gives the appearance of including the other parent in the children’s lives, while they actually have no intention of letting the alienated parent feast at the family table.
I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse.
As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my
desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven.
I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are
denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child.
I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power..
I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination..
Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative".
It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
