Sad things is authorities, schools, judges, cps are on the side of the alienating parent.

Dr. Childress is an expert. He will go down as a relentless scholar in this protracted struggle to rescue children from psychological abuse.

My family has done a wonderful job of corrupting my daughter and this is exactly what I am dealing with as I speak. Its absolutely painful and stressful.

yep, my kid has all these, lol. Remember 9 times out of 10, the targetted parent is the "good parent". Meaning they are respecting normal boundaries. In contrast, the alienating parent is ignoring boundaries, controlling, narcissistic, and using the child.

This man is the only person I know who understands what a targeted parent goes through

This man needs to educate DHS and CPS!!

I’m just gonna say that it’s whack that in cases like this the courts still try to keep the other parent in the child’s life even when it’s clearly detrimental to their development and overall well being as a human child. Most courts don’t even view Psychological abuse as abuse. Absurd.

My favorite quote of Dr. Childress is "Children do NOT reject parents, children who rejected parents were eaten by predators, children do NOT reject parents!"

A lot of narc parents will hate hearing this

Trust me when I say this. This man is brilliant in what he is saying. It is bang on accurate.

You are a good man Dr Childress, thank you for your relentless fight in getting PA recognised and hopefully eradicated forever.

I have ADHD and my narcissistic mother gaslights me into thinking i’m just being sensitive and need a therapist. It’s always about the her and her husband as if i care

PAS can also be done by grandparents in complex family Dynamics.... Third parties can undermine and Target the parent as well and have the same damaging effects.

The unique approach of Dr. Childress to parental alienation is the only one that can eventually break this common form of child abuse.

i honestly think identifying these people and removing their right to any position of power immediately is how we start to preventing the majority of evils in society.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr Craig Childress! Please help us to stop the destruction of children worldwide!

The alienating parent starts with, escalates and garners all the tools before the victims know what is happening. Dr. Childress indicators are great because they unfold the symptoms, the damage and the cause.

Absolutely a brilliant distillation! It is hard to believe that children could do this to their own mother, but with a sadistic style narcissist father, it's perfectly clear. Being that it is so hard to believe these twisted outcomes, this is exactly why we need people like this doctor to document and clarify it for us. I hope the APA will take note immediately to add these criteria to their diagnoses and implement appropriate programs for children. It will then (help) stop these horrifying and hellish cycles of abuse. If anyone needs me to testify for a study, I would be glad to help.

Dr. Childress, you are so absolutely correct in your description of the PD parent forcing the children to accept their distortion of reality. The court system victimized me and my three children, because; they refused to see who was the Abuser in my family. Twenty -five years after a concocted 911 call for domestic violence claim, all false, five hearings and more then 100,000 in legal fees, I took a plea bargain to stop the bleeding..No evidence of any abuse in my home for thirteen and one half years, and yet with no evidence other than her lies, I was removed from my home. She went to a battered women's shelter, with my children, aged four, nine, and ten ..She held them hostage for thirty days, using the shrinks at the shelter to reinforce her distortions of being a victim.For more than 13 months the court refused any visitation. further, visitation was monitored, at my expense of 250 for five hours visitation every other week. I could go on and on, however; suffice to say, my children, all three as adults display every trait as listed above. I can only see and feel the pain my children are in, yet, they will not discuss the event as I tell it. I decided to go non contact with them, as I feel used, cheated, denied, devalued, and deeply shamed.

Love this! As a child whose been abused by narcissist step parent, mom didn't step in cus she's a fraid of him. The fear he installed inme at a young age to now I'm 34. I never did anything to try and hurt my parents or disrespect them. My disrespect came in years later ehen I realized what damage was done. Coming to the realization that the one abusing me claiming to love me. Could do that. I cried a lot, even seeked therapy for the abuse. Which made me only angry cus I was exhausted from the abuse. Seeking help made me feel safe until I got home. Than it was worse. Don't reach out so someone if you have to go back home to it. Won't end well. Be brave to wait until you can get the opportunity and use that to keep a float when you feel like your drowning in it. Because of the abuse I now am extremely sensitive not to just my feelings. But of others as well. Rather get even and try to cause more harm. I just made it clear that I was smart to know it was abuse. Step dad flipped tried twisting and sabotaging me to convince others I'm autistic and that's why. Autistic or not, I was fully aware ...When he soon realized after I blasted him for it out of defense. He stopped. He mopes, he tries to hush me up with bribery. I said no, It took me until I was 32 to stsnd up to him. To this day he is angry at me for not letting him control me like that. And he's even more angry that I not only said something but I handled it for more maturily showing him yhe exampke of how to properly be towarss my self and others. Felt good knowing all along he was trying to drag me down and I fought it off inspirational things I fed myself daily. He's angry he didn't win. And even more angry I put him in his place. Cus no way a child can put a step parent or anything parent for that matter in their place if they are abusive. It makes them flip their lid pouring more abuse. I pray for those who endured it. Especially when it's not just emotional abuse but physical as well.

Thank you for your insight into parental alienation and endeavour to protect innocent children from these despicable child abusers. I fought for 6 years in the family court to protect my three young children from their obsessed parental alienating mother. To no avail. Tragically, the experts, children's lawyer and the system took the mother's side. I haven't seen or heard from my children in years.

I sincerely appreciate Dr. Childress' research into this harmful, deadly behavior of many parents. I also appreciate how he explained, step by step, how to diagnose this in a child without the need for the DSM to adopt PA or PAS as a "diagnose-able" condition. His methodology allows mental health providers and parents the ability to advocate and truly help children despite the dogmatic reluctance of many judges, politicians and professionals to protect children from alienating parents.

your 5 descriptive behaviors described my daughter. I was stunned.. thought the contemptuous behavior was "normal" for teens.

All my children (3 in total) wanted to live with me when their mother told them she wanted a divorce because she had found someone new on the internet. This revelation angered her so much that she, with her family, deliberately set out to ensure that would never happen. Her lies resulted in visits from the police, the social services/child welfare people and shadowy characters intent on destroying personal property. And those lies never stopped. They just became more toxic. So toxic I was eventually left with no other option but to move away. I haven't seen my children for 13 years. They now believe I am the monster she made me out to be.

My parents destroyed my childhood. I got on drugs started drinking, now I'm off them completely sober and my parents cannot take one single shred of responsibility. The gas lighting is incredible. My ESTJ mother needs to see this but, she has no problems and won't watch anything if it requires her to be self-introspective.

This video has snapped the pieces of the puzzle together for me! Thank-you for posting this!

This exactly what happened to me. My son began to abused me with his father. I don’t even wants to be around him. I feel terrible when I say this. This was twelve years of pure abuse from this two. Run for your life. They accused you of things. They conspired against the parent that wants to do the right thing.

Amazing that you identified and defined this type of problem. Just by learning about your descriptions and information about Psychological abuse is helping me cope with my parents..... The only way to be mentally out of this painful emotional abuse and controlling atmosphere by these extremely narcissistic individuals (parents), is to understanding the problem and finding concluding information to lay these attachments and feelings to rest... You are helping me, because the feelings felt inside is very painful and very emotionally confusing, (like an itch inside my stomach that i cannot reach) as my Parents are supposed to be loving and provide confidence, but are more like impostors ...... My parents destroyed parts of my life and when they see my succeed, as making more money then them.... they deliberately destroyed my image publicly and kicked me out of business which supports my new family, then they characterize me to people around me which destroyed my work with them professionally (I lost half of my income because of them) ... I believe that some people are sick and should not have children... and I dont think my parents will change because if they are Narcissistic, they would obviously think they are correct... without fault, which is a good characterization of what they have shown to me..... just in capable of changing.... Time to move on...

Been dealing with this for years now. Unfortunately yes the judges, the police, CPS, the schools, the psychologist, the doctors, the other family members, they all believe the people that are psychologically abusing my child and it continues to go on for years and nothing is ever done about it.

A true advocate for children and humanity🙌

Rejecting despite normal parenting Grandiosity Demonising Lack of empathy Fixed believe of victim hood (with no evidence) Entitlement All the above It’s heartbreaking

Incredible, it's like he's been spying on my grandchildren. We have seen these indicators, and the grands go to therapy. Accurate description of what they are living.

Don't forget the Stockholm Syndrome on the children. They can never get away safely from the Narcissistic parent. I only escaped by accident though the cost was high. With my children the Courts forced me to leave them behind as I had no contact or visitation rights. Years later the grapevine told me all 4 have not accomplished anything in their lives and still to live with the abuser when they are in their 30's. Depression and mental illness is in their lives, it's a vicious circle without hope. When my oldest daughter turned 32 I found her and told her Dad loves you and she can leave any time. The next day the Police wanted to lay Criminal Harassment charges against Dad and told me not to contact any other the others. Than several years later the one son made contact. He was mad, angry, upset with no empathy. I did not even want to be near him. I asked if he was going to tell the others that he met Dad. His reply was NO F-----g way. I asked way not and he explained it this way. That he would be ostracized put out on the street homeless just like what happened to Dad. No one is to know about the contact as he is still afraid of what would happen to him. Dad told him Good Luck!

My son has healed himself and we are trying our best . This video was very helpful . I feel validated . I knew what was happening and I know I was right about him being brainwashed . We have a long road and we are surviving it with love

I have a letter my daughter wrote to me, stating that she does not know why she has no empathy or care for me. I am on ROUND 3 of Parental Alienation. This time, I am taking legal action, criminal charges and civil suits. I cant believe that my 16 yo daughter and myself have been dragged into this nightmare. My life has been destroyed, and our future, outcome and life has been permanently changed.

This is me. I was abused by an alcoholic mother mentally and physically. So the only trait I lack is the delusions bc the abuse did happen.

I’m going through family court etc with a borderline BPD person now. I Iove this person and I always knew she never stood a chance in life, Because of her mother. After realizing. There’s no coping skills and so much more wrong. I need someone like this Dr expertise. To help me show and explain these things he’s talking about above. The details couldn’t be more spot on. This video was helpful in further understanding. I grew up in a functional household and my mind would never “go there” in understanding before . until things were just out of control. It took at least 4 years to come to the conclusions/realization. I wasn’t told about the BPD until after year 1. I done everything I knew to do at the time. I was only told after a talk saying “ I knew something was wrong.” This has ruined my hopes and dreams of a family life. I cry every night and I’m not me myself anymore. Getting evolved with these disorders can only be overcome with true love. I tell myself. (And therapy). Having said that.... im unsure it can be overcome at all.

I was a 16 year old who just lost his mother tried to escape a girl who used an std as an excuse to keep me mentally in bondage in a relationship with her and used her mother to lie for her (That was the first abusive thing they did). Years later and court dates with winning sole custody of my daughter, she poisoned my daughters mind enough to where she was putting child porn on my phone sending it to other kids and I disciplined her for it. She then made my daughter tell the world I abandoned her for pity to further the cycle of toxicity and to top it off my daughter stole my phone with her text messages of proof and her mothers text messages to protect them from court. The difference between me and them is I'll take a polygraph test to attest to all I said but they won't. I am sick of having my name ran in the dirty when I have loads of perjury material that I have to pay a lawyer for. I also feel like its a waste of human space to waste time to answer for lies. People are sick and need help. Take it out on yourself and leave normal people alone until a psychiatrist says otherwise.

I am a loving mother where my kids were a victim of parental alienation against me. You described literally everything that happened to me. I am going to order your book from Amazon. Even the kids ’ lawyer didn't understand the damages which my ex-husband is doing for the kids.

This is literally EXACTLY the life I'm living with my and my ex's children. I love my children with all my heart...biggest mistake of my life was having them with her though and no one to this point has been able to see thru her bullshit. It's beyond mind boggling how damaging her actions and words have been against our kids...and no one cares

In 2013 after 25 tears of extreme emotional abuse (on top of emotional, physical abandonment since birth) God opened my eyes to see what 'my family' was doing. The end result - My child (now 32) was brainwashed to believe I have no value and it's ok to treat me like dirt, My life is not right without him in it. I mourn the past and the present, And the future and family I will never have. And there is NOTHING I or anyone can do to fix it. Still struggling and in grief...

what’s crazy is I’m watching this and as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to realize that I was the child in this situation…

Psychological abuse is worse than plain physical abuse, because as least the child can see their wounds

This guy is 100% correct. The unfortunate thing is that it takes decades to fully understand it when you were the abused child.

It happens to moms too. So why do all the people i ask for help...schools, principle, councelor, teachers, pediatricians, 8 psycholigists,lawyer,mediator,dentist , police, 45.000.00$ why do the people you ask for help decide to testify against you in a cuatody over false allegations and parental kiddnapping . should we stop asking for help how do we find that help?

Seen it done I'm the targeted parent there is no greater evil than this ! My child was innocent !

Also, abusers often accuse the other parent of this to explain why their child is fearful of them or does not want to live with them.

I've listened to this video three times, back to back, because I couldn't believe that he just described my son as though he knows him personally. My son exhibits all three of these symptoms. I never believed his dad was poisoning my son against me...but he is. And I'm struggling to process that. I know my ex is a covert narcissist, but I had no idea that he has been putting any effort into weaponizing my son. I simply can't process that reality!

Thank you! I needed to hear this

Watching this makes me wanna cry. I’ll be long gone by the time the law does something about this. I’m a women my sons father was very emotionally, sexually and verbally abusive. I met his dad in high school when I was 15 he alienated me from my friends and 2 years later I found myself pregnant. I was to young to realize the abuse I was going through and thought it was normal. I realized that I had a whole life ahead of me and wasn’t going to fall victim to him anymore. However I did not have anyone to help me with my son and his father took full advantage of that. I also did not have a car. His dad would not allow me to see my son unless I had sex with him or spent time with him. This went on for years. In my early 20s I had to put his dad on child support to get help for daycare his dad hated that and because he was helping me out a lot with my son I took him off of child support but I didn’t read the court papers and did not have a lawyer because I never knew that his father was asking for joint custody and at the time I had no idea what he was really planning to do. His father always told me that if we were not going to be together that he was going to make sure he made my life hell but I was to clueless to see what he was doing I always tried to see the good in him because he always told me that he was always just looking out for my best interest and so no matter what happened to me in my mind I thought he would never be so evil but that’s how people think when they are under the influence of these type of people.When I was 26 his dad got another girl pregnant and sent me court orders to take custody of my son. He won. He lied to the court and accused me of things that never happened my lawyer didn’t even ask for proof of the accusations from police reports I had a horrible lawyer that I should have fired on the spot but I was to young to know any better and I was completely alone I don’t have family it’s just me to fend for myself. Anyway my son was very young then and put under a lot of stress to the point where I thought it was best for me not to push to talk and see him because of the harm I saw it was causing him. I told myself I wasn’t as good as his dad and his father was better then me so it was in his best interest. I never gave up though I said if his father doesn’t want to have anything to do with me that is ok I’ll get my son a cell phone. On my sons 6th birthday I went to his school and asked the front desk if they can call my son out because his dad was making it impossible for me to see him and it was his birthday and I just wanted him to know no matter what I’ll do what I can to see him. I bought him a cell phone he was so happy. But I knew deep down inside his dad was going to take it away from him and he did. By then I had already gotten a car and so I would just go and honk and pick up my son at his dads and grandmas house. As he gets older he’s 13 now he shows all these signs. Today I learned about malicious parent syndrome. It makes me so angry to know I’m going through this and still alone and here’s this man stating facts and proof with data and the law has done nothing and it’s nearly impossible to do because it’s cost so much money it’s impossible! I’m furious and crying because it hurts and it’s such an impossible situation. I see my son sad and depressed and miserable and it breaks my heart I realized today that his father never had my sons best interest in mind because I see my poor innocent son going through the same abuse I went through. I feel so alone and helpless and let down most importantly my son is going through this. Theirs a monster out there just getting away with this because he knows he can because the law has sided by him and lawyers are only for the rich.

Summary of key points: Three diagnostic indicators always present with this pathology (cross-generational coalition with a narcissistic/borderline parent) and are not present in any other pathology. No other pathology in all of mental health will produce these three symptoms: Symptom 1: Attachment system suppression toward a normal range parent. The child is rejecting a normal range parent. This is attachment pathology, which indicates pathogenic parenting. Symptom 2: a set of five narcissistic personality traits in the child’s symptom display. The child is showing five specific narcissistic symptoms. 1. Grandiose judging of the parent 2. Sense of entitlement. “The parent is supposed to meet my needs” 3. An absence of empathy for the parent 4. Haughty and arrogant attitude toward the parent 5. Splitting - a demonization of the parent These are the psychological fingerprints of control on the child by a narcissistic parent. A person cannot control a child without leaving fingerprints of that control. Children are not narcissistic. A child displays these symptoms because the parent is influencing the child. The child is adopting the attitudes of the pathogenic parent toward the normal range parent. Symptom 3: Victimization. A false trauma reenactment. The child has a fixed and false belief that they are being victimized by the normal range parenting of the targeted parent. That it’s abusive: “I am being victimized because my dad took my iPhone away” In psychology a fixed and false belief is a delusion. And the belief that a person is being victimized is a persecutory delusion. When this affects only one area of a child’s life it’s called an encapsulated persecutory delusion. The child is acquiring the encapsulated persecutory delusion from the pathogenic parent. We are lifting the fingerprints of the pathogenic parent from the child’s symptom display. No other pathology, not even authentic child abuse, will show this set of symptoms. A child never displays a haughty and arrogant attitude toward an abuser. A child never displays a sense of entitlement toward an abuser. Authentic child abuse does not show this set of symptoms. Three symptoms will always define this pathology. The parent is creating pathology in a child including: 1. Developmental pathology - suppression of normal range attachment bonding motivations (the child is losing a parent) 2. Narcissistic personality traits - the parent is creating a personality disorder in the child 3. A psychiatric delusion in the child When a parent induces this level of pathology in a child, the DSM-5 diagnosis is V995.51 Child Psychological Abuse, Confirmed

The voice of truth and clinical diagnosis of pathogenic parenting! I.E. parental alienation! May every therapist learn as to avoid malpractice! May ever judge learn to avoid malpractice

He turned my children into his enablers...32yrs the last 12 unbearable, I was thrown away and abandoned by him and my two children...I don't get to have any relationship with my four grandchildren, haven't seen them for nearly three year's, my world destroyed, to say it's decimating is an under statement... it's almost impossible to find reason to go on! This is down to a covert narc mother creating a covert narc son who then infected our two children with they're craziness!

This is a drop in the bucket of my childhood my mother was a bad parent and still pure evil to this day..she deserve to burn in hell. & some people don't deserve to bring kids into the world..Going to tell you some of what happened in my life as a child and I'm still effected by it today. We were homeless as a child do to poor choices the lady who birth me , she never showed love for her children. I've had a number of conversations/ disagreements with her about how she failed me as a child and her excuses are always telling me it's my fault. she's a very cold hearted monster, with no heart or soul whatsoever. I am the youngest born with SMA ( spinal muscular atrophy) She never been supportive in any situations. She had her older kids saying negative things making , one constantly calling me cripple on different occasions and the lady that birth me smirk as if it was funny. She never cared ever and I got a brother who suffer from autism, she never got him the help he needed. she beat and abused him a lot calling him names like crazy or profanity names very often. She should've given me & him up for adoption because from the age 8, I believe we became homeless hungry going from house to house then vacant apartment to vacant apartments in the projects. I remember she would ask people to borrow money when she had no income to pay it back, sometimes she borrow $15 , 10, or 5, whatever people could afford to give. I remember she were only able to borrow $5 this one time and she bought a pack of cigarettes that cost about $3.35 and this had to be around 1985. I remember asking her to buy some food and she said I am buying me some cigarette because if I buy food once the food gone then what. I said we can't eat cigarettes. she bought the cigarette, then she use the rest which was about $1.75 left to buy some penny candy. she said eat some candy to kill the hungry pain. My brother who suffer from autism , she beat on him a lot she handcuffed him to the chair with handcuffs that my dad son with his ex wife given her, he worked as a security at that time. she wouldn't get him on medication and when she did she trashed a lot of the medication saying she not giving him that. I went to school first grade and I missed 2nd 3rd and 4th grade do to her not being in her business like she should've. she point a finger at everyone but don't accept responsibility for her own action rite now today.I told her that a step brother molested me at age 5 and she said I didn't tell her and I said the other grown ups made me think it was my fault and she told me it's my fault for not telling her. She treat me so bad do to my disability and I'm the only one who try to help help but never again because she don't exist to me. when I did get in school in 5th grade I act out so badly do to what I was going through with and she sat around waiting on people to give. i Remember one of my step brother ask her to watch his sick child about age 3, he had brain tumors, she told me she whip him because he doing all that crying and he was to old to be in pampers. I told her he was sick she didn't care. She is pure evil. one of my other brothers gmjpin the gang living in the projects and he ask her to put him in a different school he was about 14, she said no because he shouldn't be hanging with gangs but that was all he knew because we grew up in that hood. He really had no choice but to join or get picked on but the school was a few blocks away in the rival gang turf. I told her that her old neighbor tried to molest me and I didn't tell her and I told her I shouldn't been outside 2 and 3 am and sleeping in vacant apartments just me in my autism bother most time because she wasn't there. she make up a million excuses. she told it's old stuff I'm bringing up and to get over it. she don't understand the scares are real deep and to make it worst she won't apologize she don't think she's wrong. I told her I was a 8 year old child staying in vacant apartments hungry many days.Has no soap no deodorant no nothing. this story so long so deep and it can go on forever. my dad had custody of him and his ex wife kids and he and they got beat and abused , one of his daughters told that our dad sisters would make them pull they panties down then sniff between they legs to see how they smelled and smirking making fun of and laughing. I plan to write a book and I wish it could be a movie bcuz the world definitely need to know.

The only expert on this subject who has truly understood the matter! Those who need this education are the judges, lawyers and therapists, but sadly they are not listening 🙉

My first husband did this with my daughter who he adopted. I could not understand what was happening to her she shunning me . Only wanting him. He planted so many wrong things that were not so that she has banned me from her life up unto this day. She is 49 and i am 68 and it has been a nightmare. When we separated he said if i didnt stay with him he would take everything that met anything away and he did. She did say her husband doesn’t know the truth and telling him im sure he would leave.

Excellent presentation Dr Childress!! Thanks for your work!!

was put through this very thing. funny, the iPhone situation happened with my oldest daughter, who now barely speaks to me after 15years of a wonderful relationship

This is what I’m dealing with in my two boys and it’s a horrible thing to witness and be a part of!

God Bless Him Sincerely..... Appointed by The Almighty To Speak Truths, Clinical Facts, and with Undeniable Conviction.

This type of hyper severe parental alienation is not as common as some would have you believe but it really exists and the courts and mental professionals will miss it every time. Dr Childress is an extremely perceptive person. If it hadn't happened to my daughter I never would have believed all this was remotely possible. Any thumbs down on this video were made by people who used to be like me (skeptical), or by the parents who are actually doing this kind of alienation.

I would’ve loved someone to step in to my childhood and help me

So true and it makes me cry. I’m glad I found this video

This is amazing. I truly have been trying to understand my mental/physical/emotional state since I can remember and by analyzing it with a lot of psychology/medical/ethnological published journals I was able to get access during my BA. Great lecture. Loved my psych professor.

This was very helpful for diagnosing my own mental trauma from my parents. Thank you.

More authorities need to go through classes and training to learn about this difficult to identify family abuse. So many good true child parnet relationships would be saved.

I’ve been looking for this video for months

He described my life And my sister has severe anger issues because of me and my mother

If only more people like him held high educational positions....

What's Fu&&&cked up is that these psychologists create these words and accuse you of being the bad parent if you can't agree to what the psychologists say is healthy or not. Diagnose the parent, not the child.

Great clip. Thank you!! For sharing

Growing up in a world of lies is soul destroying.

In my experience as the spouse of that psychologically abused child, if you replace the phrase "normal range parent" with the word "abused child's spouse," you'll get a very clear picture of that child's future marriage. Sad times for all.

brilliantly said

Thank you so much sir!!! I needed to hear this, right in this moment 😌😌 reading my old psych records; this puts things into perspective so much, because I honestly don't think that the neuropsychologist doing my evaluation all those years ago picked up on this at all...😳🤯🤯 It helps hearing that I was mainly just reacting to my environment and the way that I was being treated...😔😔😮‍💨😮‍💨 Thank you 💜💜🙏🙏🙏

This is Very helpful. Thank you so much for what you do👏🏼

25 psychopaths got offended when they saw this.

Incredible video. Thank you

Now I can understand the behaviours of some children in my neighborhood after their parents have separated. Children are a gift from God which parents should love, nurture & protect. Waring adults should not have a bearing on the children unless there are some form of child abuse & genuine endangerment ‼️💗💋

This just made so much sense to me. My son's mother is creating this exact scenario.

Wow, incredible

And after all of this the baby grows up into an adult. Then learns from getting kicked around and bumping up against a handful of normal adults that they are screwed up. It takes time for this to reveal itself. It's the very fortunate and insightful "screwed up" one that finally sees they need to get help. On the journey towards healing over time years and years later and within that enlightenment the wounded child within heals and the now mentally healthy adult can forgive mom dad or other or everyone for their shortcomings. At this very final stage of healing is when the healthy adult can let go forgive and move on. And this doesn't mean that they will choose to associate with their abusers or screwed up past care givers. That's their choice. Moving on setting everybody free and feeling free and being free. That's peace. That's true success and freedom!!❤

For starters, I’d like to say Thank you, for your studies, hard work and contribution towards the awareness of the psychological-warfare being implemented within the household before the child can even experience the world. The internal scars one carries are the hardest to produce the burden of proof. At least now there is some psychological-forensic analysis being done for the betterment of a brighter tomorrow.

What? I would love to hear this in layman's terms. I want to know tell my sister became a narcissist when her mother and stepfather were both really wonderful to all of us equally. But she became jealous when the youngest sibling was molested at 3 years old because the attention wasn't on her. She was given all the same things, supported by a great mom, treated with respect and never abused just like all the other children but she's truly a narcissist

OMG…. Eye opening on so so much

Amazing. So accurate.

Maybe add that the therapist in charge needs to also see the family being treated or consulted needs to be looked at as a whole. Family members in immediate family in number. Not told that the other minor child is not my patient. Sorry can't help??? I'm sorry, but the cozy relationship the psychologist has when it "Seems the one parent has it toghther because of winning custody in court ect,. Has no idea how that person won or the deceit to get there for the win. They snow everyone in their path to get there, including the professionals as they are one themselves in a highly manipulative manner! Greasy lawyers and illegal maneuverz. Total abuse as far as even being able to use your own coping skills! Look for signs of non participation of total family counts. My biggest statement I had during all of my nightmare with corrupt courts and people. A message to the so called educated degreed therapist was "I have 2 children not just 1! This is a court order of " Reunification" how my exhusband of 15 legal years and partner of 23 years total. Got to this was disturbing and you don't have the twits or the time to actually look at it in a responseable way to make an educated guess even! At any cost he was going to keep me from my children or what I needed to even start over at 42! I was swindled in a fragile state legally and no means to combat it or mental wrongness to relive the trauma again. All this my exhusband achieved to break me! This through the sea of protection my family was to have! The system there to put it back together failed us all. Start with new laws on the books! Report abuse, inquire and set a bar of behavior expected as normal and disfunctionable! Red flags and criminal. Don't get snowed by a sociopath. You should focus on the approach of a parent that promotes nothing but havoc. Telling every excuse under the sun or lies to avoid reunion with our basic human rights. Long winded lies to look better ect. PS I'm a mom and don't do drugs and don't drink and was the primary care giver for a 10/11 daughter & son. A wonderful mom at that. I was emotionally torn down and alienated from my 2 children. All over money and a home and custody children. He a drinker, pot smoking burden father. Afraid of doing what was best. He took this to a level of no return. The last thing I said to my husband was you owe your family a big fucking apology. He's a sociopath and has no capacity to have emotions or empathy. This all over a divorce. I took nothing and now rebuilding my life. Mom discarded like yesterday's trash! Literally! You think it can't happen to a normal great mom. Lol think again! I could educate for the signs of every dealings of the effects of a sociopath. I live it and lived it!!!

So true my mother abused me that led to me meeting another abuser who trained my kids to bully n abuse me too it's utterly evil the parents get away with this and wen there doing it there blaming the child

sad there are no repercussions for doing this to a child.

Thank you.

This hits to real 😢

My son and daughter are being under psychological and emotional abuse at the hands of my narcissistic mother, their grandmother as they have been put under her care while I receive counseling to become stronger and emotionally healthy enough to prove stable enough for them to be put back with me. My mother has never supported or comforted me when I broke down and also had endured some major traumatic experiences from people I thought were friends. All she cared about was my sporadic use of cocaine that I desperately ran to in an attempt to handle all the traumatic events I had recently endured within such a short period of time all while still needing to stay on top of being my children's only caregiver with very little if any break I so drastically needed and was purposely and so very obviously denied by the only 2 people who should have been there for these babies too. Their father and their grandmother who lived just down the street. I am so sick of her and her entire side of the family included my only brother as they are all hateful and narcissistic abusers who have always hurt me and scapegoated me as the problem. My dad was also hated by that whole side of my moms family and when he died from cancer 3 years ago, I became their sole target of abuse. So I am having a seriously traumatic time with my kids having to live their for the last 2 months while I receive counseling for my emotional breakdown while not one of them has ever once acknowledged that just maybe their emotional abuse and all the purposely inflicted hate and blame against me while I was needing support from family and still grieving the loss of my dad, the only one my family who I had a real closeness with and the only one who loved me for real, no agenda of abuse. Now my kids are my only family and that is how I plan to have it as soon as I am able to move and have my babies back with me. We will be going completely no contact with every single member of that sadistic and narcissistic abusive family. They ain't my family!!

Wow! Hi cannot believe what I just saw you are a genius oh my God you are a genius thank you oh my gosh OK I got it wow that was just striking I just happened by it and I’m it’s the best thing I’ve heard in 100 million years! Thank you

OMG. What clarity. To which I can attest fits exactly the case with my son. Does anyone know if these facts are published in writing as I would like to submit them in court and try to stop the 10+ years of abuse my son has been subjected too.

I'm so tired he was in jail for domestic violence now he is out was acting like he changed wanted to help until I told him because we are separeted I don't think it's respectful for him to be inside my house all the time, I felt he was controling my space and my time my all environment, since I told him for us to meet in public space for him to be with the children everything changed, he started talking bad abouth me to the kids, always trying to have a figth, etc.... Today I didn't let my kid put a toy in bathtub he told me "mother that's why you are a a pig, dirty and loser" I did not believe my ears, my son is a sweet child and very dear never said a silly word so my heart was broken and i only ask God to help me overcome this moment of turbulence in my life

ONG Thank you so much

This is my battle im about fight. Every time I hear Dr Childress speak, I feel like he's referring to my situation. Every single solitary box is checked. My concern is this- can they fool the assessment process? Even from a highly specialized and experienced evaluator? My ex...is like nothing I've never witnessed. It has brought my faith into complete doubt at time. Even my grasp on reality seems flimsy at times. Because she always gets away with it. She never gets even remotely exposed. No one ever sees it but me. Mostly because they are ignorant to the subject and aren't looking to begin with. But she even gets help. One example, I find out from a friend that she is out at 6am drunk from partying all night, and she's on her way home to where my 3 kids have been left alone all night. So I drive out and go knock on the door. My kjds are teens and one younger who's autistic and they are heavy sleepers so no one answered the door. ( they're used to her being gone) . So I leave and right down the road from her house, here she comes doing about 80 down an old country road, damn near hits me head on and goes on home. I call her and text her and no answer. I call cps and they are useless. Ive called the sheriff before in similar situation and they are useless. I finally get one response from her- a text that says 'shut up '. So skipping to the end , when I came to get my kids later on as scheduled, she meets me outside all hungover and hysterical , carrying on about how I 'stalk her'. Totally trying to flip the story on me. Her dad is also there causing a scene cussing at me and defending her. She had been with her cousin as she has many other times , and she never does anything to prevent her from drinking too much or driving. None of them ever say anything about her being an alcoholic or endangering herself or the kids. They just chime in with her talking about stalking blah blah blah. And that's my point ( sorry so long winded. Everything with her is massively complex) she does this kind of crap and no one says anything. They even help her. So if I go to court and lose, especially given the overwhelming amount of indisputable evidence i believe i have, that's it for me. Im screwed forever and my kids will be damned to a life of abuse and misery. If she got the rubber stamp from a court shed be impossible to stop. I know what's happening here and I know what the truth and the facts are and what is right and wrong. Ive got one shot at this. And if the wrong person is in the wrong place or has insufficient knowledge for their job, that's jt. It's all over. And im terrified to my core that's what will happen. Just because that's what always happens. Ive actually emailed Dr Childress to ask for help. I dont expect him to even see it. But I feel like hes the only person who could save my kids. She is a exact match of all of the examples of the worst case scenarios that you will hear or read about. So are her parents. They are exactly living out my ex wife's childhood right now. Passing down their history of hatred and manipulation. They are evil people. I hate saying it and it's not my emotions saying it, I've seen it. They enjoy hurting others. Watching others suffer brings them joy. Its disturbing to witness and makes me shake when I think about it. And I'm 6'2" and about 200lbs of jacked muscle and they scare the s**t out of me. My kids are wonderful people. Even faced with the life they've had with their mom and her family being what they are , and for sure their far from perfect father , who although loves them unconditionally, has made more than enough dumb choices and not controlling my emotions and saying mean and hurtful things I will regret forever. I dont just flat out insult people for the sake of hurting, but im perfectly capable and guilty of saying some things that make me ashamed to look my children in the face. None of this is easy. And I know it's a struggle for her just as much as me. I dont want to take her kids from her. It breaks my heart to even think it. My kids love their mother. They don't understand any of this. I've begged and begged her to stop. But she won't. And she is most definitely abusing our kids. In the worst way I think. Id almost rather her just beat them or have some horrible drug problem. You get my point. This crap passes down generation to generation. It spreads like a cancer. And those are my children and if I have one responsibility to them its to protect them and keep them safe. And I would give my life for them in an instant without even thinking about it , if it meant they would be safe . I'm the only one they have fighting this fight for them. No one else believes it or is too lazy or afraid to fight it. Ive cried every day for 15 months. Sometimes beyond control. It feels like my kids are dead. Just taken from me for no reason and I can't even hear their voices. I have to be so careful what I do or ill play right into her narrative about me , and probably get the cops on me. I miss my daughters hugs so much. They are absolutely the most loving and wonderful perfect kids. To hear and read some of the things my daughter has said to me, i can't even imagine how hurt and scared and confused she is inside. I want to save them but am afraid I won't be able to. I have no one helping me. No family Nothing. They either believe her that im crazy or they just dont care enough to help.. But the one thing I cannot and will not do is abandon them. And even if the entire world is against me, im gonna follow my faith and my heart and do whatever it takes to save them from this. I just want to be their dad. I don't want to take them or hurt her or anything else. I just want to be their dad and watch them grow up and help them and be there for them and just enjoy them. I've had all 3 of them together once in 15 months. They are so funny too when they're all together. The older 2 are close in age and act like an old married couple lol. And the little is just trouble😊 he's the ring leader of their little miniature size operation. They are absolute angels living on earth. Every single person that comes in contact with them falls in love immediately. Everyone can't help but miss them when they are gone. They are those people you ALWAYS want around and being such a feeling of goodness you never want to leave. And its being taken from them. And ill be damned if I'm gonna let that happen
