Parental Alienation & Personality Disorders -Charlie McCready

The link between personality disorders, codependency, and parental alienation reveals a complicated web of psychological interactions. Parents with personality disorders, particularly Cluster B personality disorders like narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, and antisocial personalities, often exhibit extreme and erratic behaviours that can significantly impact their children. These disorders are characterised by difficulties controlling anger, vindictiveness, impulsive outbursts, rage when criticised, lack of empathy, and aggressive behaviour. Parents who emphasise the faults and flaws of the other parent, create an environment where children feel compelled to align with them (the emotionally unstable parent) in an attempt to placate them. This behaviour contributes to alienating children against the other parent over time. Parents with personality disorders tend to overlook their own problematic behaviour, making it challenging to acknowledge their contribution to any problems.

Co-dependency, which often results from insecure attachment patterns, can further intensify the negative impact of parental personality disorders. Co-dependent people (parents) tend to derive their sense of self-worth from others (their children), making them susceptible to enabling or engaging in alienating behaviours. This perpetuates a cycle of emotional turmoil for children caught in the crossfire.

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 ..
