Most often it's because they gave up trying.
---- It starts out when the children are babies and the mother takes the child away from him accusing him,
---- When he tries to change a diaper, The mother pushes him out of the way,
---- When he tries feeding the child,
---- When he plays with the child,
---- As the child grows, he comes home from a hard day at work,
---- He sits down to watch TV, only to see shows and commercials that marginalize fathers as ineffective or outright imbeciles.
Father's Day comes, but his child is not allowed to make a hand made Father's Day card in school, because of so many fatherless children in schools. The older children give him one of those so-called humor cards that makes fun of his ability as a father. If he watches TV, instead of seeing reports on Father's Day events, there's reports on fathers being arrested for not paying child support. The college age child, who got home for Mother's Day, just calls him, calls him COLLECT, to wish him a Happy Father's Day. If the family takes him out to dinner, he's expected to pay for it.

Why do mothers alienate children from fathers?
Many times a women alienate children from their fathers because they themselves do not wish to have contact with the father. Therefore; children get alienated due to an unintended consequence, but there are as many different answers to this questions as there are fathers alienated from their children. Unless there is abuse on the part of the man, the damage done to children who are alienated from their fathers is usually irreparable. It is extremely cruel to keep children from their fathers. Children need fathers as much as, and in some cases, more than children need their mothers. A father's positive influence cannot be bought for all the gold in Egypt. It is flat out child abuse for ANYONE to intentionally alienate children from their fathers. It can actually be a blessing for a mother to have a civil-productive relationship with the children's father. The mother can then have a much needed break from the children, financial support and the comfort of attending childrens activities without animosity. My sons father and I divorced when they were young and we got along beautifully while raising our children together and in close proximity. It was a positive influence that they witnessed their parents caring enough about THEM to get along with each other.
