In extreme cases, the legal term for this phenomenon is Parental Alienation Syndrome. An excellent on-line Canadian resource is Parental Alienation Awareness Organization - Google Dr. Richard Warshak for more information. If your experience with your child or children matches what you see after researching this topic, please e-mail if you would like to be included in a support group specifically aimed at fighting PAS in a Manitoba court.
