3 MORE SUBTLE ALIENATION TACTICS USED BY NARCISSISTS
In last month’s newsletter, we discussed three common ways that parents try to alienate their children from the other parent. Parental alienation is when one parent attempts to sabotage their child’s relationship with their other parent. They do this by having the child “accidentally” overhear derogatory information or ask the child to keep a secret from the other parent. This may seem relatively harmless, but parental alienation is a form of child abuse and can cause irreparable damage to the relationship between the child and their parent. There are many alienation tactics used by narcissistic or otherwise unstable parents that might not receive a second glance. They use subtlety to ensure their methods go under the radar. They can be hard to spot, which is why we’ve gathered another three subtle alienation tactics used by narcissists. Encourage the Child to Break the Other Parent’s Rules It’s a classic sitcom scenario. The child asks one parent if they can do something, and they respond with a resounding “no.” The child then goes and asks the other parent the same thing hoping to get a “yes.” Sometimes this goes a step too far and the other parent grants permission just to
overthrow the other parent’s opinion. They may frame their response in a way that makes it seem like they are on the child’s team while the other parent is not. Spying and Data Mining A narcissistic parent might use their child to spy on the other parent. They’ll have the child ask the right questions so they can get valuable personal information from the other parent. They may use that information to increase their parental alienation efforts or even blackmail the other parent.
Disrupting Planned Bonding Experiences or Quality Experiences
This is a very common method used by narcissistic parents. When it’s your opportunity to spend time with your child through a planned excursion, the other parent may get suddenly sick or their cellphone remains on silent. They will find an excuse to ensure that the child cannot spend any extra time with their other parent.
