Here Are Some Potential Consequences of Teaching a Child to Hate:
- Negative or judgmental personality
- Poor adjustment
- Difficulty trusting others
- Difficulty initiating and maintaining relationships
- Poor relationship quality
- Aggressive/defiant behavior
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Guilt or confusion surrounding negative feelings about the other parent
- Self-hatred
Every child has the right to have a loving and healthy relationship with both his or her parents. Divorced or otherwise separated parents are expected to encourage and nurture the relationship between the child and the other parent. Alienating parents are typically so consumed by their own feelings that they feel to recognize they are alienating the child in addition to their former partner. Hate, animosity, or resentment are not emotions that comes naturally to children; it has to be taught. A parent that teaches and encourages a child to hate the other parent and his or her new spouse or partner runs the risk of damaging the child both emotionally and psychologically. Unfortunately, with ongoing encouragement and exposure to hate and animosity the negative effects on a child can be lengthy and significant.
