Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)
Divorce can be messy not just in terms of monetary compensation or dividing of property but also in terms of the relationship between the parents and the children because of a disorder called parental alienation syndrome. It was a child psychiatrist who invented that term in the 1980s. This happens when you go through a divorce and then your child will begin to belittle and insult you without good reason as a result of your spouse influencing your children. It’s nasty when you get insulted by others. It’s even worse when it’s your own child.
