Divorce is the second most difficult trial in one's life, next to death of a spouse. So, it's not surprising that one becomes confused, hurt, angry, jealous, or bitter. These are natural emotions that transform over time and heal. However, what if these emotions are manifesting themselves in harmful ways? Parental Alienation is when one parent, either the mom or dad, behaves, whether consciously or unconsciously, in way that could evoke a disturbance in the relationship between a child and the other parent. Parents who become the "Targeted Parent" experience a deep sense of hurt, confusion, frustration. Sometimes Parental Alienation becomes so severe that the child/ren becomes enmeshed with the alienating parent, and feels they need to protect that parent, and therefore begins to hate the targeted parent and eventually cuts off all contact with the targeted parent. There is support for those moms and dads, and other loved ones who are affected by "parental alienation", such as step-parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, etc. http://www.meetup.com/Parental-Alien
