“An alienating parent may seek emotional comfort and support from their children. They may be seeking validation for pain and anger against the co-parent and turn to their children,” said Lori LaVigne, Education Director for Online Parenting Programs.com. “An example of this behavior would be trying to persuade your children to take sides with you against your co-parent or speaking negatively about your co-parent in front of the children.
