Parental Alienation is also referred to as Hostile Aggressive Parenting and it is a form of legal child abuse. It occurs when one parent undertakes a deliberate campaign to turn the child against the other and undermine the child's love for that other parent. Child custody battles are often complicated with hostile aggressive parenting, false accusations and situations where one parent alienates or brainwashes a child against the other parent with no evidence of wrongdoing. Child custody laws do not prevent hostile aggressive parenting and the most devastating cases often result in the alienation of affection toward one parent. The number of cases is steadily increasing at an alarming rate. Does parental alienation affect you or someone you know or love? Half of all marriages end in divorce, most involving children.
