Surviving parental alienation : a journey of hope and healing /
Baker, Amy J. L.,author.
Fine, Paul R.,1955-author.
In response to parental disagreements stemming from divorce, some children become aligned with one parent against the other - even a parent who has done nothing to warrant the hostile rejection of their formerly loving children. These "targeted" parents suffer from the loss of time with their children, the pain of watching their children become distant, even cruel, and the uncertainty of not knowing if and when their children will come back to them. These parents are on a painful journey with an uncertain outcome. Surviving Parental Alienation fills the tremendous need for concrete help for these parents.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
