Alienating Parents believe their own lies /💯🙌

The motivations and psychological processes of alienating parents can vary, making it challenging to generalise their behaviour. In some cases, alienating parents may genuinely believe their lies, deluding themselves into thinking they are protecting their children or acting in their best interest. These individuals might have convinced themselves that the target, alienated parent is a danger or unworthy of the child’s love, and they may genuinely believe the false narrative they have constructed. Their actions may be driven by cognitive dissonance, where they unconsciously justify their behaviour to align with their self-image as a “good” parent, even as their actions cause harm.

On the other hand, some alienating parents may knowingly lie and manipulate the situation to further their agenda and “win” at all costs, even if it means hurting their children in the process. This behaviour can stem from deep-seated resentment, anger, or a desire for revenge against the target parent. These individuals may display narcissistic or sociopathic traits, seeking to control and dominate others, and believe that alienating the child is a way to achieve this control. They may even derive pleasure from causing pain to the target parent and feel powerful when manipulating the child’s

Sometimes, the alienating parent’s behaviour may be a combination of self-delusion and calculated manipulation. They might have started with negative emotions towards the target parent but then become consumed by those feelings, weaving a web of lies and distortions to reinforce their beliefs and justify their actions. This complex mix of cognitive dissonance, narcissism, and calculated manipulation can create a toxic environment for the child, where they are caught in a battle between their parents.

The consequences of parental alienation on the children and the target parent can be severe and have long-lasting emotional and psychological effects. Understanding the dynamics of parental alienation and its impact on all parties involved helps develop effective interventions to address this form of emotional abuse.

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 ..
