The alienating parent often deludes even seasoned professionals. Their convincing presentation of events, coupled with their projection of all wrongdoing onto the targeted parent, can lead professionals to overlook the true dynamics at play. Furthermore, the weaponization of children by the alienating parent exacerbates the complexity of the situation. Indoctrinated and manipulated, the children become unwitting accomplices in the alienation process, aligning themselves with one parent while turning against the other. Professionals often tend to prioritise the perspective of the alienated child, failing to recognise the coercive control and psychological abuse they have been subjected to. In many cases, professionals focus on the false allegations and fabricated stories rather than scrutinising the person who is refusing to co-parent and collaborate and who is, in reality, inflicting the harm and perpetuating the alienation. This can usually be attributed to a lack of understanding and training in identifying and addressing parental alienation. Not to mention that many professionals in these fields are often overworked, underpaid, and understaffed, further hindering their ability to address complex family dynamics adequately.
It’s critical to acknowledge that parental alienation constitutes a form of familial abuse characterized by coercive control, psychological manipulation, and long-lasting harmful effects on children. This includes spousal psychological abuse directed towards the targeted parent and child psychological abuse inflicted through manipulation and coercion by the alienating parent. Leaving a child in the care of an alienating parent who engages in such abusive behaviour is itself abusive and perpetuates the cycle of harm. Failure to recognize and intervene in cases of parental alienation not only harms the targeted parent but also perpetuates the horrendous psychological abuse inflicted upon the child. We need systematic change.
