[quote=Anonymous]I’m PP with the sister who has been alienated despite her being there. People who responded she just needs to demand respect - it’s really not as easy or black and white as you want to believe. When she defends herself or calls him out, he angrily attacks. The kids have asked her not to respond so he won’t yell because it scares them. Despite seeing this, the kids have been so poisoned by him that they are on his side. They wont participate in conversations with her at dinner or include her in theirs when he is present. They constantly look for his approval if they do say something to her. He plans family activities and short vacations and she is not included (he will buy tickets for all but her). The kids refuse overtures by her to spend time with them if he is home. They feed him information on her phone calls and her activities. He involves them in marital issues in entirely inappropriate ways and she refuses to disparage him to them because she does not want them in the middle. It’s not as easy as saying “she should demand respect” or “kids won’t be alienated from a good parent.” Divorce is the obvious answer, and hopefully that happens eventually. I wish he would be a walk-away dad.[/quote]
