Narcissists don’t grieve relationships in the way normal people do, because for them, people aren’t people.
People are objects. Tools. Sources of supply.
Once you no longer provide the admiration, attention, or validation they crave, they discard you and replace you with someone else who will.

There have always been dysfunctional families and marriages, but in the past, it wasn't socially acceptable to separate.
People stayed together, were miserable, and argued a lot.
That's why there are so many transgenerational traumas.

Research from Cafcass notes that parental alienation may stem from personality disorders like borderline or narcissistic personality disorder where a parent projects their feelings of inadequacy onto the other parent potentially leading to harmful behaviour such as isolating or terrorizing the child

Mr Justice Hayden emphasizes that fact-finding hearings must focus on allegations relevant to the child’s welfare, not historical grievances.
This resonates with PA research advocating for a child-centred approach rather than allowing courts to become a battleground for parental disputes.

The petition also warns of delays in re-establishing contact in cases of false allegations which could cause "significant harm" to children a concern supported by the existing legal threshold of "significant harm" that already allows courts to restrict contact

Petition: Commit to not removing the presumption of parental involvement
The Government has said it has reviewed the presumption of parental involvement, and will publish its findings. We think the Government should clearly commit to not removing the presumption.

Children’s emotional development relies on consistent, loving relationships with caregivers. Parental alienation interrupts this process by introducing manipulation and emotional coercion.

The quoted lyrics ("I'm tired and I'm so alone") mirror the isolation described in Steven Wilson's work, which, as noted in a 2015 Radio Metal interview, often draws from real-life stories of disconnection, such as Joyce Carol Vincent's,
Don't hate me
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone
Don't fight me
I know you'll never care
Can I call you on the telephone, now and then?
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone
Don't fight me

Courts may view this as harmful to the child’s emotional well-being, potentially leading to a change in custody or visitation rights.
Cafcass defines alienating behaviours as an "ongoing pattern of negative attitudes & communication" by one parent that undermines the child’s relationship with the other parent.
