If you answered “YES” to any of these concerns, you have to evaluate to exactly what degree you are participating in adult alienation. Children have to be totally free to love both moms and dads. If you do not like the other moms and dad or feel that they are improper for your child, you have to resolve the problem without turning to destroying that child’s relationship with this moms and dad. Your kid can make up his or her own mind about what does it cost? they love and even like the other moms and dad without being unduly influenced by you. Obsessed parent alienators will stop at absolutely nothing to damage or even severe a child’s relationship with a moms and dad. This is a severe type of kid abuse where a child is not permitted to have loving feelings for his parent, or his or her prolonged family and good friends. These people represent half of the child’s heritage. Most parents “mistake” occasionally, nevertheless, moms and dads who actually appreciate their child’s benefit will do all they can to keep their child from the middle and allow them to like both moms and dads.

The best parent is both parents.
