The alienating parent often seeks to create a support system comprised of people who enable, support and reinforce their behaviour. These enablers are like a cheerleading team, and they play a significant role in perpetuating the alienation. Here’s how this dynamic typically works:
The key enablers are willingly blind to the negative actions of the alienating parent. They demonstrate unwavering loyalty, refusing to acknowledge any wrongdoing.
Enablers consciously choose to ignore signs of manipulation or mistreatment. They might witness the alienating parent’s behaviour but deliberately turn a blind eye, allowing the alienation to continue unchecked.
Enablers are often submissive and easily controlled by the alienating parent. They may fear repercussions if they resist or question the alienator’s actions, leading them to comply passively.
Enablers might lack critical thinking skills or be naive, making them susceptible to the alienating parent’s persuasive tactics. They unquestioningly accept the distorted narrative presented by the alienator.
Crucially, enablers do not challenge the alienating parent’s agenda. They refrain from interfering even when they suspect that the alienator’s actions are harmful.
Enablers serve as cheerleaders, and their support reinforces the alienator’s belief that their actions are justified, making it increasingly difficult for the targeted parent and the alienated child to break free from the cycle of manipulation.
These enablers create a toxic echo chamber around the alienating parent, but why do they do it? Enablers support the alienating parent due to loyalty, fear, or manipulation, often gaining a sense of belonging, protection, or approval in return for their unquestioning allegiance.
