Parental Legal Kidnapping by lies/ Bullying the other parent with less finances! Power Control / Children Suffering In Parental Alienation Syndrome, one parent brainwashes or programs the child to turn against and vilify the other parent. It is difficult for many people to understand how an alienating parent could implant information that may be directly at variance with what the child had previously believed and experienced with the now-targeted parent.

I will explain the short version of how brainwashing works. Because we usually do not do original research, we learn most of what we know from others. For example, the world generally looks flat, but I have learned from others that it is round. We depend on and are vulnerable to what others give us to believe. Under certain circumstances we are very vulnerable. In a nutshell, our predisposition to incorporate the ideas of others is what makes brainwashing possible. Our dependence on what others tell us is the short and sweet explanation for the basis of brainwashing.

Parental Alienation Syndrome has been described as the Stockholm Syndrome taking place on the home front. What is termed the Stockholm Syndrome can serve to illustrate how, in fact, victims can be transformed to believe they love their captors and hate those who would save them.

What is STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?The syndrome is named after a bank robbery in Stockholm in 1973. Bank employees were held hostage for six days, during which the victims became emotionally attached to their captors. After they were freed from their six-day ordeal, the former hostages refused to testify against the robbers and even defended them.

Research has suggested that hostages may exhibit the condition in situations that feature captors who do not abuse the victim and continued contact between the perpetrator and hostage. This condition does not result from a conscious decision or a rational choice.
