There needs to be a distinction between a dysfunctional relationship that ends in divorce with parents bickering and an abusive relationship. What we're talking about here is an abusive relationship, a relationship in which there is clear violence, such as physical violence, but also one in which there is coercive control. We need to look at it from that lens.
They are using parental alienation to dismiss the claims of abuse. That's what they're using. I think that we need to be clear. We need to have this conversation within the context of broader dynamics. We need to look at patriarchy. We need to look at misogyny. We need to look at violence against women generally.
I will stop now and ask Wanda to continue because I know time is limited.
