child's attachment bonding motivations toward a normal - range and affectionally available parent as a consequence

emotional and psychological needs
of the personality disordered parent (i.e., «parental alienation») may represent a trans - generational iteration
of child sexual
abuse victimization that occurred a generation (or two) prior to the current
child, but that is continuing to severely distort parent -
child relationships through the distorted parenting practices
of the narcissistic / (borderline) parent (whose own disordered personalty organization likewise represents the impact
of the prior sexual
abuse victimization).
