So true! What is so sad is the very person/people who are alienating our children were more than likely the perspn who abandoned them in the first place. The kids have a double whammy which we can see but the kids are completely victimized. No matter how stable the home invironment a child who has been abandoned by a parent wants that parent back in their life, wants their love and acceptance, and most times fall for the charm of that individual. Then the child makes allowances (justifications) for the parent's behavior. It is sick! Been dealing with it since my husband and I divorced 23 years ago. My kids are adults now and the damage is very much there.
