Anyone know anything about parental alienation?

apologies if this is long but I’m really hoping someone who’s been through this or knows anything can help me , I’ve emailed my solicitor with no response and probably won’t hear from her until she gets a date for court.
my daughter is 6 months old , her dad hasn’t seen her since she was 3 months old. Reason being is because he was high looking after her , doing unsafe sleeping , and extremely bad temper resulting in him throwing my child to his mother so he can calm down with weed. I told him I was stopping the 50/50 and he can see her when he comes here and every other weekend for a sleepover only if his mum would be there (I trusted his mum whole heartedly) he wasn’t happy with this (he wants 50/50 so he doesn’t have to pay me 30 pound a month) he quit his job instantly after 50/50 was stopped . Then his mum turned on me saying she was getting a solicitor and wasn’t seeing my child until the courts dealt with it . So over 3 months no contact but he’s accusing me of stopping him and have a feeling he’s gonna use the parental alienation card on me even tho the only thing I’m doing is keeping her safe from harm. I have proof of him saying he won’t see the child until it was sorted. I’ve seen stories of men saying parental alienation is being used on them and then the mother getting her child removed and the dad getting full custody so I am scared. My solicitor has already applied for me to get a residency order where as his solicitor is fighting for 50/50 or maybe even full custody. I’m stressed and need some reassurance. I’m in Northern Ireland

You can't alienate a 6 month old so don't worry about that. You have proof he's said he won't see baby until this is sorted. Do you also have proof of his mum saying that? I'd distance yourself from trusting her absolutely when she's also not treating you well though. Listen to your solicitor, safeguard your child and try not to worry about things that haven't happened yet and likely never will x

Yeah they’ve got all the screen shots, his mum was the one doing the unsafe sleeping with her when she was half asleep when my child’s dad threw her in there when he was “losing his sanity” for a smoke when she was crying x

This is clearly not parental alienation. Don't worry.

It Is NOT Parental Alienation when the Parent involved is Abusive or Neglectful - these are the five factors of real Parental Alienation

  • Contact refusal.
  • Positive relationship prior to contact refusal.
  • Absence of abuse or neglect on the part of the alienated parent.
  • Alienating behaviours of the preferred parent.
  • Child manifesting symptoms of Parental Alienation.
