Hostile Aggressive Parenting is a term more or less synonymous with parental alienation. HAP appears most often in child custody disputes and refers to a course of conduct designed to alienate a child from one parent and align him or her with the other. HAP is actually a form of child abuse and is not limited to biological parents. Anyone involved in the care and rearing of a child can engage in HAP–grandparents, other family members, and even daycare providers.
