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 ..

  1. Wow, thank you for this post, and I will try and see the film. I lost my boy some months back, and no contact has been allowed, at all, not even a second the mother brags, but you know, love will always find a way. He’s 12, and I am not his biological parent, but I was at the hospital the night he was born and began parenting him when he was three, doing the Saturday beach thing after his first birthday until then. He was slow to speak, and my name was the first word he spoke, “Daddy!” what he said running to me to take him to the beach. He was almost two. I became his full time parent when he was six, and he spent more time with me than either of his parents. His father, always jealous, who visited on the weekends, a gang killer living in another city for his protection from a rival gang, decided he wanted his boy, and even the cops backed that up. The boy was beaten, is still being beaten, gagged, brainwashed, the whole thing. The cops just told them not to bust his head in. This is India, and I’m a foreigner here, and parents have absolute rights. I cannot say in one sentence the crawling hours in each month of pain, the crying that melted me in the molten lava of tears, the looming insanity that bid me so strongly to bash my head into the wall but that I did not obey. I’m alive, thank God, and I will see my boy again.

      1. Thank you. Yes, here it is simply a tragedy for children, and it’s not talked about nor known until you see it for yourself, for the reasons you mention, what is lacking here, and it’s not intelligence. There’s a big to do here about moral things, no smoking, drinking, cussing, nudity, elicit sex, etc., but in regards the abuse of kids no, unless it’s sexual abuse, the only kind of abuse illegal.

        After he was beaten senseless with a wooden board some months back, upside the head, for telling his mother he wanted to see me, a police inspector here told her she could beat him with whatever as long as she didn’t bash his head in. I had gone to the cops for help, since he was calling me in secret and begging me for help, talking about suicide.

        Today or tomorrow, after months of using every avenue available, I go to his school with someone with political clout and TV news connections to request once again he be tested for dyslexia (what I’ve been trying to get done since he was three when I saw it trying to teach him the alphabet), and that the abuse he’s receiving from his parents for failing grades stop.

        The reality is he’s being abuse for still wanting to be with me, and when he’s beaten, slapped, made fun of, or kept locked in the house for bad grades, he’s told he’s acting so to be with me, since he did better in school with me, did better with everything.

        We can’t even mention him being able to see me because here parental alienation and the abuse that comes with it is not only unknown but denied when you try to explain it. I just looked selfish when I try to tell anyone about it, and everyone says they have to talk to the child to see if he feels he’s lost a parent or wants to see me again, but when you are allowed no contact, just waiting for secret phone calls that are few and far between, that’s near impossible, but I was able to get that done this time, over the phone, and the kid told them in no uncertain terms.

        The other fact is that a kid terrified of a parent will not speak against them if they are present, and when I got hearing with Child Help, he was too scared to do that and just cried and cried, physically unable to speak more than a few words, and those words were that he was scared he would be punished, but because he didn’t confirm what they asked him, that was that. After that meeting it was all I could do to stop myself from bashing my own head against the wall.

        I may not be able to see him after this, but at least I can get him help, since this time I’m not alone, but I’ve had to threaten a hunger strike to get this help, and I will lay down my life for my child if I have to, just like any parent would.
