Parental alienation information and support

Dictionary.com describes parental alienation as: "any situation where one parent pits a child or children against the other parent, usually during divorce."

Dr. J. Michael Bone, Ph.D. writes, "The manipulation of one’s children to the belief that their other parent does not love them, is the cruelest form of child abuse. Since it is the parent child-relationship that orients a child’s understanding of their own sense of self and their lovability, teaching a child that one of their parents does not love them, also teaches them that they are in some basic way, unlovable, or not worthy of love."
