Parental Alienation
As modern family structures have become increasingly complex in today’s society, so too has the threat of parental alienation. Parental alienation occurs when one parent influences the child against the other parent.

This usually happens when both parties are seeing the children on a regular basis but are separated and no longer living together.

Unfortunately, in most cases, this kind of emotional manipulation is unknown to both the child and the parent before it becomes a serious issue.
