Heads up – incoming.
You will want to familiarize yourself with a rating scale: the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), “one of the oldest most widely used scales to measure psychotic symptoms.”
Wikipedia BPRS

The professional article is online and provides the BPRS manual of anchor points for 24 symptoms.

The items of primary relevance are 9) Suspiciousness and 11) Unusual Thought Content (delusions). The clinical concern is for a possible persecutory thought disorder (in the allied parent transferred to the child; i.e., a shared/induced persecutory delusion).
I will be recommending that the BPRS rating scale be applied in all child custody conflicts involving severe attachment pathology displayed by the child (i.e., a child rejecting a parent).
I recommend BPRS ratings for items 9) Suspiciousness and 11) Unusual Thought Content (delusions).
I also recommend BPRS ratings for 3) Depression (grief response), 2) Anxiety (phobic response), 6) Hostility (anger response), and 20) Uncooperativeness.
We need to get clarity on the child’s symptoms. We accomplish that by using a reliable symptom documentation instrument, i.e., the BPRS.
You’ll begin to hear me reference the BPRS. You should familiarize yourself with the anchor points for the relevant sub-scales of 9) Suspicousness and 11) Unusual Thought Content (delusions).
As a lay person, you can apply the anchor points to the child’s symptom presentation to indicate your perspective and reporting on the child’s symptoms.
However, ultimately we will want a formal mental health assessment of the child’s symptoms using the BPRS to anchor our understanding for the nature, scope, and severity of the child’s symptom presentation.

Abuse in the Family – Charlie McCready
In Abuse in the Family, Alan Kemp defines domestic violence as “a form of maltreatment perpetrated by a person with whom the victim has or had a close personal relationship” (Kemp, p. 36). I believe that using terminology that accurately describes parental alienation as a form of abuse is crucial. Those of us who have experienced it understand that it transcends the label of ‘parental alienation’—a term that is often misunderstood and misused. It encompasses child psychological abuse, spousal psychological abuse, and constitutes a form of violence within the domestic environment.
Kemp’s book serves as an excellent resource for anyone seeking to understand psychological maltreatment, which, in essence, includes parental alienation. The same categories apply: rejecting (spurning), terrorising, corrupting, denying essential stimulation, emotional unavailability, unreliable parenting, neglect in mental health, medical, or educational contexts, degrading or devaluing, isolating, and exploiting.
The alienating parent manipulates and exploits the children, isolating them from a nurturing parent and their family, including grandparents, step-parents, step-children. They deny the children their fundamental needs for love and belonging from the targeted parent, thereby neglecting their mental welfare. This parent dismisses the children’s and the targeted parent’s expressions of love and need for one another. The alienating parent not only terrorises and corrupts the children but also prioritises their own desires above the needs of everyone else, including their own children.
Kemp employs an ecological approach to explore the pervasive issue of family maltreatment, analysing the complex relationships at macro, meso, and micro levels. By addressing questions such as “Why does family maltreatment occur?” “What do its victims experience?” “How do they recover?” “What can we do to help them?” “How can we understand the perpetrators?” and “How might we reduce or prevent family abuse?”, we can better equip ourselves to combat this significant social problem.
The definition of domestic violence presented in Kemp’s work applies aptly to parental alienation, wherein one parent manipulates a child to turn against the other parent, constituting emotional and psychological abuse. My posts are here not to alarm or upset but to spread awareness about what’s known as ‘parental alienation’ and to provide guidance to those who are going through it, as I did myself. Apart from these daily posts, which I hope help you know you’re not alone, and to better understand it’s an attachment disorder, a pathology, it’s not you; please reach out if I can help with the coaching I offer.

The Alienating Parent thinks they are a good person
Abusive people who lie, cheat manipulate, and hurt others with impunity, and no accountability or guilt, sometimes actually think of themselves as victims. No matter how badly they treat people, it’s not their fault. It’s your fault. In fact, the problem probably started when you started noticing their abuse. And to add to this problem, the fact they get away with their abuse, without facing punishment or consequences, the fact they can carry on, in their minds, justifies their behaviour. The alienating parent often genuinely believes they are right and good. Wow!
The concept of cognitive dissonance can help us get our heads around this. To resolve any discomfort from being ‘in two minds’, people tend to either adjust their beliefs or justify their actions. The alienating parent may engage in self-justification, convincing themselves that their actions are for the child’s well-being. They may genuinely believe that they are protecting the child from the other parent’s perceived harm or influence. This self-justification can lead them to see their behaviour as morally justified. They also often adopt a victim mentality, perceiving themselves as hard done by or failed or hurt in the past, and this somehow excuses/accounts for their current behaviour. It can also lead them to cast blame on you. It is a way of deflecting responsibility. They deny and project their negative qualities onto you, rather than face their own flaws and shortcomings. Some alienating parents lack self-awareness and may not recognise the harm they’re doing to their children. The alienating parent typically resists counselling or any situation where they may have to confront their behaviours, and in this way, they can carry on in their belief that they are right, and you are wrong.
While I hope this explanation helps shed light on the mindset of abusive or alienating individuals, it does not justify, excuse or condone the harm they cause to others, especially children caught in the middle. My wish is that if you understand these psychological dynamics, it can be enlightening, even empowering, enabling you to navigate the situation with more clarity and compassion, both for yourself and for your child. Most importantly, know that you are not alone, and there is hope for positive change. The love and bond you share with your child can endure, even in the face of alienation. Stay resilient, focus on your child’s well-being (where you can), and yours too, and believe in the possibility of reunification and healing in the future. Your unwavering love and commitment can significantly impact your child’s life. Strive to be happy.

Trust in the Unfolding
To The Ascension LightWorker Collective
Neptune, the planet of dreams, has recently entered Aries for the first time in 165 years, marking a significant energy shift. This rare alignment is bringing about powerful changes that can impact various aspects of life, including love, career, and spirituality. The influence of Neptune in Aries is activating a deeper transformation and renewal, with unexpected changes and accelerated shifts in consciousness.
During this time, the ascending may experience a shift from pain to pleasure, struggles to relief, and weakness to new found strength. New opportunities and breakthroughs may now present themselves, leading to the manifestation of dreams and desires that were previously out of reach. Closed doors may open, new partnerships may form during these times now that Venus is moving out of retrograde deep and intense spiritual transformations are taking place.
Planetary alignment activates many new earth changes, resulting in the creation of entirely new realities over the next 7 months to 7 years. Ascension encourages all to trust that the Universe is looking out for them and guiding them through this higher conscious transition. There is an abundance of mystery in new earth energy, it shifts extremely rapidly, preparing the ascending for acceleration inner growth, light frequency expansions, and higher conscious evolution.

For reasons not fully known to us, Mercury retrograde favours the Ascending in many ways. It’s important to keep being patient, authentic and true to Self, to release anything that no longer aligns with the greatest good . Maintaining a more positive attitude will help attract many unexpected blessings and rewards.

Grasping the power within to navigate through uncertainties.
As you transition through ascension changes, be prepared for more endings and new beginnings. With healing and energy boosts, you are highly charged and empowered to navigate this planetary transition with divine love and grace.
3D Secrets and illusions will be unveiled in the year 2025 as the ascending collective awakens to more Truth . newly emerging energies and heeding to the higher calling will align self with soul’s purpose, reconnecting with the true version of self.
Many ascending will adopt to a much healthier lifestyle and find new ways to Reflect and express the divine within , moving away from impulsivity and false agendas, preparing for major internal shifts and completing painful karmic cycles, loops and patterns, addressing any past woundings to fully clear, release and heal .

Boundaries are about upholding promises to the higher self, choosing self-worth, and surrounding yourself with those aligned in ascension who value and respect you. They are not about changing others but about honouring your own needs , virtues and values.
By healing what triggers boundary issues within you raise your vibrational frequencies and establish a powerful boundary based on higher self-respect and self-love. Ultimately, your higher frequency is your strongest boundary.
The Crystalline realm holds powerful DNA encoded energy of unconditional love and oneness, that is the same as the energy of The Christ consciousness . It is present not only within the physical crystal earth core but also in the air and water, which is significant as humans are predominantly made of water much like our planet .
Being mindful of the consciousness in water you consume and bathe in is important as the physical body is intelligent and extremely powerful. Paying attention to synchronistic signs and taking inspired actions when guided to, the self is inherently connected to the Crystalline realm energy.
2025 is a powerful time for realigning the human template energy with cosmic activations , preparing ascending individuals for the upcoming upgraded energies for the collective and the planet. Mass awakenings continue to occur those who have already awakened will be called upon to guide and support others in finding alignment and balance in new earth energy .

To those Responsible – Charlie McCready
Despite being a victim of false allegations and manipulative alienating tactics, the ‘target’ parent finds themselves entrapped in a system that often fails to adequately assess the truth, allowing baseless accusations to persist. The alienated parent, unjustly kept away from their child, experiences a profound sense of loss, rejection, and helplessness. Their relationship with their child deteriorates as the alienating parent continues to poison the child’s mind against them, and often it worsens during custody cases.
Legal and mental health professionals, who are expected to protect the child’s best interests, often fail to intervene effectively. Even when assessments are conducted, they are sometimes ignored or not acted upon, leaving the alienated parent in a state of perpetual despair and disbelief.
The frustration deepens as the ‘rejected’ parent witnesses the alienating parent’s blatant disregard for court orders and their refusal to cooperate in co-parenting. Despite these clear signs of malicious intent, the legal and mental health system often sticks with the status quo/does next to nothing, sometimes even making things worse.
There is currently no ‘one size fits all’ remedy. But I’d like to share what a parent wrote to me suggesting – something that had worked for him. I paraphrase: “Demand from those in positions of power to put in writing what the allegations are about you. Ask them if your parenting has ever been in question before separation/divorce/allegations. Question them as to whether these allegations are a breach of your right to a private family life.”
This is great because by doing so, you assert your rights but also prompt the professionals to examine the credibility of the allegations thoroughly. If there is no prior evidence or history of concerns, it raises doubts about the authenticity of the claims made during the alienation process. Questioning whether these allegations breach your right to a private family life underscores the fundamental human rights aspect of the situation. This emphasises the need to protect the parent-child relationship and the family’s right to privacy. By raising these questions, the alienated parent not only advocates for their own rights but also challenges the professionals to uphold the principles of fairness, justice, and due diligence in their assessments.
