Alienating parents often engage in destructive and bullying behaviours, projecting their own traits, unresolved issues and/or motivations (such as narcissism, a perceived need for revenge, selfishness, or financial gain) onto the targeted parent. Driven by jealousy, resentment, or a desire for control, they engage in destructive, disordered parenting and manipulate their child’s perception of the other parent. Their actions are rarely motivated by genuine concern for the child’s well-being.
These parents refuse to engage in healthy co-parenting and actively work to sever the child’s bond with the other parent. They may go to great lengths to remove the other parent from their lives and the child’s, too, denying them access and creating barriers to a meaningful relationship while fabricating reasons to justify their behaviour. They may also involve extended family members, isolating the child from an important part of their support and identity.
It’s essential to recognise that alienating parents rarely acknowledge the harm they cause. Not to us, not to the children, not to other family members or friends, and not to family courts, schools, police, or therapists. Most are unwilling to take responsibility or seek help. However, as children grow and mature, they often begin to see through the manipulation and recognise the truth. So hold strong, my friends. Remember that the truth has a way of coming to light, even in the most challenging circumstances.
