Parental Alienation: Narcisistic Abuse After Divorce

Parental alienation is a serious issue that can have devastating effects on children and families. It occurs when one parent, or sometimes step-parent, manipulates a child into rejecting the other parent, often through lies and negativity. This can lead to a complete breakdown of the child's relationship with the alienated parent, causing emotional distress and long-term damage.

Most people ask, why would one parent cut off the other parent? Sometimes it is for revenge for the divorce. Other times money's the motivation (if they get more parenting time they get more child support). But the hardest cases are when the alienator is a narcissist or suffering from other personality disorders like borderline-personality disorder. Narcissistic abuse is getting a lot of press these days, but when they take a child and use it as a weapon, this is the cruelest form of abuse. And it will get worse, not better, as time passes. 

 

So parents must take action.   

 

The Impact of Parental Alienation

Children who experience parental alienation suffer significant emotional and psychological harm. They may experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems with relationships. They may also struggle with their identity and develop a distorted view of the alienated parent.

The alienated parent also suffers greatly. They may be devastated by the loss of their child and experience feelings of grief, anger, and frustration. They may also face challenges in their careers and personal lives.
