Is this emotional abuse?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

I think it is emotional abuse and absolutely wrong for a parent to try to turn the children against the other parent. A parent should love his/her children more than they hate their spouse or ex-spouse. Eventually the child will figure out who the real bad guy is, the person doing the bad mouthing.
