This sounds so familiar. My husband is going through the same ordeal...his divorce was held up because of her "entitlement" issues and then when she didn't get what she thought was her right, she involved the kids - and told them lies about their marriage....meanwhile it was her that had the affair(s) among other things. But anyways, these kids have been abused but now the oldest one has told both my husband and I that she hates us and never to see us again - a teenage girl. This mother has no idea, like the one you are referring to, how much damage is being put on the kids - and there will be long term damage. Parental Alienation is something that we are seeing more of - it has always been an issue, but it is just now that it is being recognized as a problem. Parents who do this, should loose all rights to their kids - it is not the choice of the children to have their parents divorce - SO WHY put them in the middle.
My heart breaks for all those parents who are going through this - its abusive just not to the kids but also to the other parent.
