  PAS - (parental alienation syndrome)

Is when one parent actually teaches their child to dislike and even in some cases to hate the other parent. This is very real. Most people believe that children basically know right from wrong and will figure out when one parent is misleading a child. This is dead wrong. In cases where PAS occurs consistently over long periods, a parent with only limited time with their child, (4 to 5 days a month), does not stand a chance in maintaining a healthy relationship with that child. And the true victim is the child. PAS will cause problems in a person's life from childhood through their entire life and in every relationship they have if not recognized and treated. And it takes a great deal of work to overcome. Even then the child that has become an adult may not resume any real relationship with the parent they were turned against.

  Most judges and unfortunately many counselors have very little training in recognizing PAS. If you are involved in court and or counseling regarding children, ask the judges and counselors to show proof of classes attended and training they have had to recognize PAS. If they can not provide proof, demand someone that has the training. Your child's mental health depends on it. A couple of places to learn more are:
