...One tactic frequently employed by alienating mothers is to try to provoke the father into blowing his top by interfering with his relationship with his children. When he does, mom pretends to be scared of “his awful temper,” and gets the father’s already limited role in his daughter’s life reduced...

BINGO!!

Good article. I know of some of the tactics firsthand, unfortunately.

The truly sad fact of these kinds of battles is the children suffer the most.

An interesting study I read recently shows that the mother is most likely to want to keep the father out of the child's life while the father usually seeks to include the mother in the child's life.

The article describes my ex-wife to a tee. Except mine looked nowhere near as good as Basinger.
