Postseparation Abuse Wheel

The unhealthy parent aims to exert control and take revenge on the other parent post-separation through harmful parenting tactics.

Some of their tactics include neglectful or abusive parenting, exposing the children to unsafe situations, discarding the children after legal proceedings, and wage legal and financial abuse against the other parent. The goal is often to isolate the healthy parent and destroy their support system.
