Are you looking to be labled a troll? Gr8dad hasn't even chimed in on this. You start attacking people who've posted here for years just because they don't agree with you, then adding in other people you just don't like, and not many people are going to bother listening to what you say in the future. So how does THAT improve the system?

>>>>>>> You mean " maternal " caregivers .

Neither the OP nor the article focuses on mothers over fathers. The focus was on the occurence of abuse. That can happen to either gender. It is you who is making it a gender issue.

>>>>>>>>> The AUTHOR IS A WELL KNOWN feminist legal scholar and DV advocate .

Janet Johnston is best known as a researcher of high conflict divorce and parental alienation. Not a particular friend of domestic violence advocates or perspectives, she has been one of the first to note that domestic violence issues should be seen as the norm, not the exception, in custody litigation.


>>>>>>>>> Not a " friend " of DV advocates ? Is that because she has a gender neutral view on DV issues ?

I actually read the article cited . Loved this line :

"Moreover,
those who had conflicted coparenting
styles were also more likely to be divorcing
parents who had experienced substantial or intense legal conflict and who were more hostile to one another, especially mothers."

Careful. We don't want to learn from this.

I don't know. Have you asked her?

This line caught my attention: Janet Johnston is best known as a researcher of high conflict divorce ******and parental alienation******. PAS is generally done BY mothers.

>>>>>"Moreover,
those who had conflicted coparenting
styles were also more likely to be divorcing
parents who had experienced substantial or intense legal conflict and who were more hostile to one another, especially mothers."

Frankly, I don't think that statement makes sense. Is it that mothers were more hostile, or did they receive more hostility. It actually reads like the former to me.
