Description:
Some parents consciously, blatantly, and even maliciously harm their ex-spouse through negative comments and actions. Others simply sigh or tense up at the mention of the other parent, causing guilt and anxiety in the children. The result is a child full of hate, fear, and rejection toward an unknowing and often undeserving parent.
Divorce Casualties: Protecting Your Children from Parental Alienation is the first-ever guide for divorced parents to help you understand the effects of your actions on your children. Parental alienation – behaviors, whether conscious or unconscious, that could evoke a disturbance in the relationship between a child and the other parent – was first recognized among mental health professionals in the mid-1980s. Not until now has there been a book for you, the parent, to turn to for help.
