Divorce is one of the hardest things a family has to face. In the whole process, couples are hit hard by the process of divorce, because there is a lot going on in their minds. Those who are hurt by divorce are not limited to married couples. Children can also be hurt by parental divorce. Divorce can also create stressful situations in the home, so children are hit.
There are more problems. In this process, if one of the parents shows 'parental bullying' behavior, the situation of the family can become more complicated.
What is "parental bullying"?
Allen Gabe, a specialist in family law, real estate, litigation and corporate law, said: "A planned attempt by one parent, '' parental disloyalty '' to break the relationship between a child and a spouse, Alienation Syndrome, PAS). "
These behaviors are common in divorced families who are experiencing child custody disputes, and may be viewed as domestic violence, but emotional distress is greater. Parents are also part of child abuse because they use their children to raise bad feelings about their 'spoiled' spouse.
Parental anomalies are common in divorced families, but they can also occur in homes that do not communicate with each other for a few days, especially after a fierce couple fight.
The general behavior of parental bullying is as follows.
1. Speak or spoof your spouse in front of your child.
2. When your child is happy with what happened with his spouse, he makes an unpleasant tee.
3. Intentionally limit communication and contact between your child and spouse.
4. Do not let your spouse know what happened to your child or what you should praise.
5. Blame the family for their current situation.
The situation mentioned above is merely a parental outpost. In the long run, 'bullying' parents are more aggressive, so they can confuse children.
Why are parental anomalies occurring?
Parental Disorder Syndrome (PAS) can occur when one of the divorced parents does not accept that the relationship is over, or that they require financial support from the other party, or that their property is greatly reduced due to alimony.
Parenting Alienation Syndrome is the first term referred to by American psychiatrist Dr. Richard Gardner. Although not officially recognized by the World Health Organization or the American Psychiatric Association, this term is used to support his decision among the parties in which the judge is suing the divorce court during the divorce proceedings.
When one of the parents starts releasing the contempt they have hidden in their minds, a tense relationship is formed between the child and the parent who is actually being bullied.
On the other hand, psychologists explain that behaviors seen by 'bullying-driven parents' can be caused by emotional or physical trauma, as well as personal problems such as low self-esteem.
What are the psychological effects on your child?
Parental prejudice can have a shocking impact on your child. As an example, a parent who drives bullying may feel confused in the relationship with a parent who feels guilty and is bullied when the child displays an unpleasant feeling when she is happy with her spouse.
Symptoms of a child experiencing Parental Disorder Syndrome (PAS) include:
1. Your child expresses nonsensical anger and hatred about the abused or neglected parent.
2. The child blindly supports and devotes parents who lead blindness and takes him as role model.
3. The child asserts that it is his own judgment, not the influence of others, that expressing hatred towards the parents being bullied.
4. Your child does not feel guilty if he or she is treated badly because he or she is deemed to be eligible.
5. Your child may even express anger toward his or her friends or other relatives.
Impact on offending parents
This symptom can affect not only your child, but also your parents. Dr Edward Kruk, a child and family policy specialist, said, "Parents who are being bullied tend to try to prove to the therapist and others that they do not" abuse "their children.
Unfortunately, parents who are being bullied are often blamed for their child's anger, even if they are not mistaken. As a result, parents who are bullied suffer from emotional trauma, such as stress, sadness, and even self-doubt, due to the fact that their beloved child is gradually moving away from herself.
Why should not I ignore the family bullying syndrome?
As mentioned earlier, parental bullying can have a devastating impact on a child's emotional health and development. Similarly, parents who are being bullied also experience emotional trauma, such as feeling skepticism. To make matters worse, if family bullying continues in the long run, family relationships can be ruined.
If this happens to your family, you should make sure that no family bullying occurs. Yes, divorce is not an ideal solution for ending a marriage, but most couples choose to divorce to avoid conflicts that may affect their children.
If your spouse or former spouse exhibits symptoms of personality disorder, you should be alert. You should not let your spouse gossip or insult you. Instead, express your love and concern to your children. "No matter what, Mom / Dad really loves you," you should tell your child. However, if the situation starts to worsen, it is a good idea to consult a family lawyer to resolve the problem.
