Charlie McCready – Gone Girl

Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl” provides a chilling psychopathic portrayal of Amy Dunne, a character who exemplifies traits such as lack of remorse, dishonesty, cunning and striking charm as she weaves an intricate web of deceit. Her intricate planning, patience, and calculated approach reveal a misuse of self-regulation, as she meticulously observes and collects information about her husband’s behaviour for the purpose of revenge and malevolent manipulation. Amy’s masterful manipulation of victimhood grants her immunity from criticism, enabling her to receive compassion and support from others.⁠

⁠

Criminal masterminds in literature and film, like Professor James Moriarty, Hannibal Lecter, Frank Underwood, and Tom Ripley are morbidly fascinating. If any of these masterminds, including Amy Dunne, were to undergo a character assessment using the VIA Survey (Value in Action), they’d probably score highly on traits such as ingenuity, patience, perseverance, keen observation skills with an ability to collect information for the purpose of revenge.⁠

⁠

The fictional characters show us that sometimes false allegations are not impulsive acts but result from meticulous planning and patient execution. It’s challenging to contemplate the darker aspects of human behaviour when it’s real and not fictional, and the lengths to which some are willing to go for revenge, control, or the destruction of others. As with alienating parents, the presentation of victimhood, their planning, and emotional manipulation and psychological abuse is (in cases other than ‘mild’ alienation) a highly organised and orchestrated process. ⁠

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
