Parental Alienation: a form of child abuse where one parent uses coercive control, usually during a divorce, to turn their child against their other loving parent, without true justification.


...These children are one-half of each of you. Remember that, because every time you tell your child what an “idiot” his father is, or what a “fool” his mother is.... you are telling the child half of him is bad.
— Judge Michael Haas, in divorce ruling (2010)
I think I’ve been alienated - now what?
