This info is useful when discussing with your attorney problems to address.... What is Hostile Aggressive Parenting? Hostile Aggressive Parenting is a very serious form of emotional or mental child abuse and frequently encountered in many high conflict divorces and child-custody disputes. Hostile Aggressive Parenting is often deployed by one parent, more frequently by women, to align their child/children with them during and after the divorce. Most fathers, as well as a few mothers and grandparents - in addition to the child/children - are the parent with custody denying parenting time for selfish reasons. Hostile Aggressive Parenting has been defined as: A general pattern of behavior, manipulation, actions, decision-making or outright emotional abuse of a child/children, (normally by the mother) that; · Creates undue difficulties or interferences in the relationship of a child/children with the childs/childrens father. · Promotes or maintains an unwarranted unfairness or inequality in the parenting arrangements between the child’s/childrens parents. · Promotes ongoing conflict between parents which adversely affects the parenting, well-being and rearing of the child/children. Hostile Aggressive Parenting can be present in almost any situation where two or more people involved in a child’s life - and disagree with each other over how the child/children are to be raised. Hostile Aggressive Parenting can be present even when the childs/childrens parents are still living together. Hostile Aggressive Parenting is sometimes confused with Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) which is a term developed by Dr. Richard Gardner, who discovered that Hostile Aggressive Parenting and Parental Alienation Syndrome are related, but different. Hostile Aggressive Parenting refers to the behaviors, actions and decisions of a parent whereas, Parental Alienation Syndrome relates to the psychological condition/abuse/mis-treatment of the child/children. In most cases, Hostile Aggressive Parenting is the cause of Parental Alienation Syndrome. Hostile Aggressive Parenting is not limited to the biological mother (and/or father) of the child/children, but also applies to grandparents, other family members, daycare providers and to any other person who may be involved in caring and rearing of a child/children. In some cases, Hostile Aggressive Parenting may even involve a parent in dispute with the child’s grandparents, sometimes the parent’s very own parent. Any form of emotional or mental child abuse or other unhealthy interference to a normal, healthy relationship between a child and a person (most often the mother) caused by another person or agency having some control or influence over the child, is wrong and ultimately causes emotional and psychological harm to the child. **4Goose**
