perverse triangle

This refers to a pathological relationship structure between three persons, in which two persons on different hierarchical levels form a coalition (alliance/coalition/alignment) against the third. This alliance typically takes the form of an overstepping of generational boundaries, with one parent and a child in coalition against the other parent.
