I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through-it’s heartbreaking. A trauma-informed support group for parents like us, facing grief and the unlawful deprivation of our kids’ rights, would mean so much. Being told to "accept" the situation doesn’t ease the pain or make it better. You’re not alone. It sounds like your son’s pediatrician did everything he could within the limits of his role.

Years ago, I met a mother in a trauma group whose child was placed with the father, even though he was sexually abusing the child. She eventually got her child back, but only after months of grief and fighting. At the time, I assumed CPS couldn’t make mistakes like that and even blamed her. I’ve since realized how wrong I was.

I gave up, no contact in 5 years, son is 15 now and lives with his half sister and boyfriend across town. I am 51 with a BS in HS, work with kids and adults. I still internalize your work but refuse to engage with any professionals in Billings that are not already friends or coworkers. I have endless contempt for the people working in or near the field I'm educated in. The degree(s) have little to do with with how much they know or how helpful they might be regarding this stuff.

I did my voluntary psych testing w/Bob Bakko before he retired. He agreed with me but showed no enthusiasm to help much. The forensic psych people don't want to be fact checkers for anyone. They are more interested in getting paid and concerned more about what they brought for lunch

Therapists and lawyers have told me that we are slaves to the system. Very few professionals are familiar with the counter intuitive nature of this specific problematic issue. For people to fully understand the big picture, incorporate the videos of Steven G. Miller, Durvasula Ramani and Sam Vaknin along with everything that Craig Childress is teaching.😅

Now adult victims of this are definitively telling their stories within the "anti-alienation project," the knowledge is available now. Re-direct the funding toward a Childress method instead of this engrained desire to keep a bunch of lackluster non-profit, cookie cutter systems full and generating dollars.
@MinneTechie12 күн бұрын
Maybe, but I'm not sure that we’re “slaves to the system.” The system is man-made, and it’s the people in it who introduce malice or corruption. If it were run by AI or machines, it wouldn’t even know how to use malice-it’s human choices that weaponize it. ***Be careful with the advice you get, no matter the source. I’ve heard terrible suggestions like “Just take one for the team,” “You can have more kids,” or even “Burn any evidence you have.” All of it is nonsense.*** The truth is, some cases go deeper into unethical behavior-bribes, personal gain, or political motivations. Sadly, the well-being of children often seems to come last, even among professionals. That’s why it’s so important to stay grounded, informed, and focused on what really matters: protecting the kids and seeking truth and justice.

Should CPS be completing your assessment?
@MinneTechie12 күн бұрын
Sometimes it feels like CPS makes its decisions with all the "facts" in hand, but the outcome seems predetermined-like a slot machine where the result is already decided the moment you press the button. Even as the bonus round plays out, the system has already logged your winnings. This explains how people use the system to their advantage, perpetuating cycles of abuse. It feels like this venue needs a better management system. While CPS can protect, there are times when it falls short. There are still kids left behind-whether physically, sexually, emotionally, or psychologically-while that parent manipulates the system to shift blame onto the other parent. It's the children who suffer the most, and that's simply not fair. The saddest part is, the kids don’t even realize how wrong it is-or how they are being used, not truly cared for.

What should I specifically be looking for when picking a psychologist? My daughter is 16. The allied parent moved to Michigan 2 years ago. When she began to reject me started at age 14. Now she refuses to attend visits (video calls), uses derogatory terms (hoe, b*tch, liar, cheater) towards me. The previous therapist encouraged me to validate the false allegations of abuse. I refused to admit to something I was not guilty of. The allied parent also uses the abusive language in every email. I need a way to figure out how to use the legal system to overcome the 4th time motion to enforce since he obtained custody in 2016. Before they moved, I was able to see her and we had a good relationship. She seemed happy and doing well.

Dr. Childress, I've been watching for a couple of years now. Im 7 years deep in the family courts and my life has been wrecked. I've been trying to understand the whole thing and I have reached a conclusion I want to share: I don't think there is any way to make this system work. I think the root of the problem is "family court" itself. Government and experts just shouldn't be involved in making family decisions. Here is what I think the real answer is - parental rights are inalienable natural rights. The system has no business unless someone has committed a crime, violated a contract or engaged in torte - abolish family court. Its not a real court, standards of evidence etc. Its unconstitutional, corrupt and harmful. We have real courts for real legal matters - we need a "default contract" for coparenting which is 50/50 and shares custody in every way. Both parents can veto decisions like schools and medical treatment. Religion is an issue of the home. If parents want to supercede the agreement, it require mutual agreement to a new contract. So there is no "family law" lawsuit. No courts. No lawyers. There is just normal law (which obviously covers abuse) Anyway, I just wanted to share my conclusion. The courts can't be fixed because what they are doing is fundamentally wrong. Just get rid of it and 99% of all this mess goes away

Thank you Dr Childress. I feel that, in the UK, we have Cafcass...who do their best BUT are drastically under qualified and not trained to diagnose the pathologies underlying child and target parent psychological abuse. Because of that they go with The Child's voice as being authentic. So, from your video, I can see that they then become part of the 'reenactment of that child abuse, because in a factitious disorder the child's voice has become part of the delusion shared by the allied/abusive range parent. This is so sad because it is leaving many children in emotionally abusive situations which pass the trauma of the allied/abusive parent onto the next generation. And there is nothing a target parent can do to protect the child because of the court's position.
@nath12842 ай бұрын
UK targeted parents and our children are completely neglected, harmed and oppressed by the services we expect to safeguard our children and ourselves. They are knowingly ignoring this pathology and adding to the harms. The families are being crushed and need their personal power returned Dr Childress and OP I thank you for raising more people's expectation of the professionals. Nobody can believe our story. I am too overwhelmed and exhausted to take the steps down adversarial routes (what is probably hoped in turning backs and closing doors - we'll just go away one way or another....) yet I feel passionately that we deserve better than this, especially our kids so seriously show me where to sign if we can help one another in some way to make change happen. We have to sort this out and despite disabilities and trauma preventing me from doing well functionally the brain is still working...

I like this however, if the attachment parent has serious fictitious delusional disorder can we teach them how to parent ? is anything going to be viable? or do we get them out of the picture and let the other more balanced ranged parent take over ? what is the template if the Custodial Parent is seriously mentally ill? How does pathologies not transfer in this case?
@TheLornatube2 ай бұрын
I don't know what Dr Childress' answer to this would be, but in the UK there's a psychiatrist, called Professor Kingdon, who specialises in delusional disorders and he seems to say 'that for some patients exploring delusional beliefs, strong beliefs that they worry about, cause great concern....by exploring those beliefs and understanding where they come from can be helpful and help them move on. At the moment, in UK, the family courts...because Cafcass, barristers are not qualified or trained to recognise DSM5 child psychological abuse, they are rewarding delusional behaviour...which must reinforce the delusion rather than try and work with it. Ps I am not a qualified MH professional only a Grandma with an interest in this area.

Another excellent session imparting knowledge. This would have been a question on my list - so tick, tick, tick. Makes me so sad. How do you tell a good therapist - they fix the problem. They sure as hell don't leave one parent out of the process, align with a toxic parent and speak about matters they don't understand. A therapist I know told a parent they shouldn't worry about not having contact, they did their job by being around for the first 5 years. Ignorant and lacking empathy.

I also advocate to change “the system”, but legislators don’t want to take action. Be careful about generalizing and accusing victims of this. Consider “calculations” on the funding sources for the industry and begin asking APA to advocate for federal funding towards research grants so the industry starts to “want to change”. It’s amazing how quickly “professionals” adopt new “findings” when that’s what the grant money wants to see.
