Dennis Prager calls parental alienation one of the most evil things short of murder. When one parent poisons a child against the other, he says the damage comes not from divorce itself but from the conflict that follows it.
The poisoning of the, of an ex-spouse, the poisoning of them by poisoning the children with that poison is one of the most evil things that it can be done short of murder. I have seen it happen. I've, many people have called in about it. It's usually the mother doing this to the father. But it's not only that way, but it's usually. And it is pure evil. I, I knew before I was ever married, let alone divorced, that what hurts kids the most is not divorce. It's what happens after divorce.
