What
is parental alienation or hostile aggressive parenting? It is a group
of behaviors that are damaging to children's mental and emotional well
being. These behaviors whether verbal or non-verbal cause a child to be
mentally manipulated or bullied into believing a loving parent is the
cause of their problems. These damaging actions, by the alienating
parent, are a form of child abuse. Denying children contact with loving
family members can create a frightening atmosphere that robs children of
their sense of security and safety. (copied from PAAO USA OHIO)
