I agree children are perceptive and insightful - however parental alienation is a very insidious thing. Often they have no idea until they learn about it. Which often doesn’t come until late teens/early adulthood- because to them it seems normal (to hate on the targeted parent).

Adults have their reasons and are valid. Children are the most vulnerable.

Abusers saying they were alienated as children themselves could be true but it is no excuse for becoming an abuser.

Also abusers saying they are being alienated by an ex is often a projection of their own abuse (narcissistic abuse) onto others.

Meet with children. Children that are not observing your examples. Statements like “mom is crazy” or “dad is a loser” from parent one to parent two erodes a child’s mind. This happens on purpose to target the previous partner using the child as a tool/object.

It seems you are not familiar with parental alienation and what it is. Your story is powerful and deeply painful- you are talking about something different. Parental alienation is when one parent strategically undermines the other parent to prevent a child from having a relationship with them.
