WHAT IS PARENTAL ALIENATION?

(Official Definition)

Parental alienation is when one parent turns the child into a weapon and aims them at the other parent. It’s not an accident  it’s a strategy. It’s control, revenge, and manipulation wrapped in fake concern. A targeted parent is the one who gets cut off, lied on, pushed out, and punished not because they’re dangerous, but because they won’t bow down to the parent who needs full control.

HOW IT STARTS

Parental alienation usually begins quietly and builds in stages. Most people don’t realize what’s happening until the damage is already in motion.

Common tactics include:

• Blocking communication
• Rewriting history
• Poisoning the child’s mind
• Creating fear, guilt, and loyalty traps
• Making the child choose sides in a conflict they never signed up for

Parental alienation is emotional abuse toward both the parent and the child.
It destroys a child’s identity, trust, emotional development, and sense of security.

THE 3 LEVELS OF PARENTAL ALIENATION

Level 1: Mild Alienation

The child still loves both parents, but manipulation has begun.

Signs of mild alienation:

• Smart remarks or subtle jabs
• “Be careful around your dad/mom”
• Guilt-tripping the child for enjoying time with the other parent
• Slight attitude or behavior changes after visits

This level is quiet...but it’s real.

Level 2: Moderate Alienation

The child becomes conflicted and begins pulling away.

Signs of moderate alienation:

• Tension during visits
• Repeating the alienating parent’s negative language
• Acting confused, angry, or emotionally distant
• Believing stories they never witnessed

At this level, the manipulation becomes noticeable.

Level 3: Severe Alienation

The child fully rejects the targeted parent.
This is where alienation becomes a complete takeover.

Signs of severe alienation:

• Refusing calls, visits, or any relationship
• Repeating lies as if they personally lived them
• Automatically defending the alienating parent
• Cutting off the targeted parent emotionally or mentally

At this stage, the child is not “choosing.”
They’ve been coached and conditioned to disconnect.

CLOSING MESSAGE

Parental alienation destroys families silently.
Raising awareness is the first major step toward breaking the cycle.

No parent should ever be erased.
No child should ever be weaponized.
