parental alienation  

Definition

  • Parental alienation is a deliberate attempt on the part of one parent to distance his or her child from the other parent. Most often, parental alienation occurs when the offending parent speaks negatively about the other parent in front of the child and encourages the child to speak and think in the same way.
