Dad , no contact with son in 5 long years

On October 15th 2015, I dropped son off at school 7:20 a.m. I said, “I love you son” he said “I love you Daddy, I’ll see you later”. That was last time I saw my son. Please understand, parental alienation syndrome is real, corrupt family court systems in this country are real, money-hungry attorneys that bleed single dad’s of all available funds and send them into bankruptcy is real, and fathers taking their own lives because they’re being unjustly kept from their children is real. Today December 19th 2019, is sons 11th birthday. I now have missed 5 birthdays in a row with the 5th Christmas in a row coming. I’ve been strong, optimistic, and hopeful, but I broke down in tears once again today as I have the last 4 years. These days suck and there’s still another one coming. Hopefully, 2020 will be the year I bring my son home.

Mystic’s

” Reflections on the Life of a Mystic :
The Mystical path is the most difficult, demanding, dangerous,and intoxicating journey one can ever make.
It takes one into the depths of the Heart,
into the abyss and endless love that one finds there.
It leads you from the known to the unknown,
and then further, into the unknowable, 
into a darkness brighter than any light.
Nothing can prepare you for the heart’s journey,
 for the places it can take you, the depths and heights 
that are within you.
So many times you think you are crazy, bewildered and lost. 
There are few signposts, often little sense of direction.
And yet over the centuries mystics have mapped out
the stages of this journey, this opening of the Heart. 
Sufis have written about the chambers of the heart, 
and how they lead from the pain of separation
back to the Oneness that is the very nature of Love.
For the traveler it can be a great relief to know this journey
has been mapped, that one is following in the footsteps
of those who have gone before. 
yet it is also 
our own unique journey, 
our heart that is being broken by love,
our own sorrow and bliss.
It is called the journey “from the alone to the Alone,”
because we are left alone with the cry of our heart and
the places it takes us, both terrible and beautiful —-
places where there are no books or stories, no words
to comfort us, except the story of our own Heart, 
our own confusion, longing and love .”

Anyway was able to stay in hotel for almost 2 weeks  in the meantime apllied for all possible assistance and was looking for apartment . It was really hard to find one because I’m a stay home mom no income to show no employment history etc but I Found it !!! 😃 got the key yesterday .

Dad’s ex passes …nightmare of getting 2 children

A fathers ex passed away 2 days ago leaving their 2 young children behind.  They are separated and tactics have been used to eliminate contact in the past.  Dad got a call from the police notifying him of the death, that one of his children was in the crash but is fine and the children are with the decreased’s mother, no details, hes in the dark.  Dad called grandma, she was “busy” and could not talk.   Dad drove overnight 8 hours to get his children.  He requested help from the police and told they could not intervene due to a no contact order against him.  The no contact order was actually against the fellow that lives with the children (yes hes not supposed to be around the kids but lives with them) and police were confusing their persons.  They sent them away and told them cfs was who to contact.  Cfs responds hours later with,” this is a family issue and there is nothing stopping you from getting your kids”.  Well great, dad asks for grandmas location. “Thats not our responsibility” and cfs hangs up.   So 4 visits to the police, 1 call to 911 and a incredibly useless conversation to cfs and dad still does not know where his kids are.  Oh, did I mention there is an enforcement clause in his order and he is named as guardian to his children? 
This is what parents are up against.  This is the system designed to help protect families and children.  2 very young children just went through major trauma and their living parent is not even able to comfort them and is instead being told to take it to court.  😡

A Dad’s Experience…I too live in Virginia where FC balance is required ASAP

A lie must only be stated, not proved , it’s about power

and control for profit and the win. Children loose

Targeted parents loose .

After over four years, 238 court appearances, a false arrest for the  “Daddy touched me” lie that was dismissed, a 20 day trial that lasted over the coarse of a year, a divorce decree 17 pages long that was 100% in my favor, my now 10 y.o. daughter human trafficed out of the U.S. with the aid of the State of Connecticut, financially ruined, emotionally and psychologically destroyed, I think it may be time for me to move on with my life. I concluded this will NEVER end and there is absolutely no way to expose the corruption. Team V*gina, you win. Go destroy some more children’s lives to promote your sick agenda. Happy New Year!!!

Childress On Vulnerable Special Parents due to current procedures

There is far too much exploitation of this vulnerable population, the parents who are involved in litigation simply so they can be mom and dad in their child’s life.
Professional psychology needs to designate these parents as a “special population” because of their special vulnerability, they are immensely vulnerable to the court’s decisions regarding their role and involvement with their children.
From the vantage point of professional psychology, their special vulnerability arises from the immense influence that the court’s decision-making will have regarding their role as mother or father and their involvement in parenting their children.
This special vulnerability incurs special obligations from professional psychology to provide the highest caliber of excellence in professional practice. 
People’s lives hang in the balance of the court’s decision. These children, their parents, and the court require the highest standards of professional practice in the application of knowledge, not the lowest.
Until we reach that level of understanding from professional psychology surrounding the immense vulnerability of these parents, emanating from the court’s involvement into the most basic aspects of their humanity, their role as mother and father, the potential for the exploitation of these parents in their vulnerability becomes of high professional concern.
I serve as a consultant in clinical psychology to attorneys and their parent-clients.  In that capacity, I am often asked to review the reports of involved mental health professionals and provide an opinion from the vantage of clinical psychology.
I read their reports. I am deeply concerned that the vulnerability of these parents is being substantially exploited by the surrounding mental health professionals.
I am also aware of “treatment programs” being developed and offered by various level of professional that are of equal concern for their effectiveness, and similarly raise concerns for the exploitation of the vulnerability of these parents as a consequence of the court’s power over their lives.
During this upcoming 2020 to 2022 period, I will be taking a more active voice in “peer-review” of my professional colleagues.  
I am a clinical psychologist with substantial professional background, cite my vitae, I am qualified to review my peers in this area of pathology and professional practice.  Truth resonates with truth.  Qualified professional practice welcomes review and scrutiny.
Does someone want to peer-review Dr. Childress and AB-PA?  Please, have at it.  I welcome peer-review from my professional colleagues. Foundations, my blog, lots of essays on my website, my Australian Amicus Submission.  Peer-review to your heart’s content.
So… your turn.  I’d like a formal professional description of what you’re doing please. Thank you.
At the same time, my opinion is just my opinion. I’m not the thought-police, I’m a clinical psychologist with professional background with this complex trauma pathology, I’m concerned about potential exploitation of this “vulnerable population” and I am requesting peer-review of your protocol, thank you.
When there is solid, I acknowledge solid.  Just ask Dorcy.  She’s a coach, has nothing to do with me.  High Road and HPP are solid, I acknowledge solid. The only thing I care about is achieving a solution as fast as is humanly possible.
I have recently opened dialogue with Lawyer Leslie in this Alliance group after she and a parent posted here referencing YouTube videos of her support for pro se parents.
Parents here are not a feeding resource for professional practice. I reviewed the YouTubes, and as a clinical psychologist I have zero problem with anything Lawyer Leslie is discussing, and I will defer to the legal professional for her greater expertise in procedure and the law.
I have invited professional-to-professional public discussion with her – as I do with all professionals.  I think such professional-level public discussion can help parents.  I think it will also help us provide solutions.
Pro se representation will always be necessary, and the solution we achieve must integrate pro se representation into its fabric.  Yet it will be from the attorneys that the path to court-involved solutions will be forged.
I encourage professional-to-professional discussion in a public forum.  I believe this would be of benefit to other professionals listening, and to parents who must navigate both the mental health system and the legal system independently, and in interface with each other.
Lawyer Leslie is an attorney, that means she sells her time and knowledge.  I am a clinical psychologist, that means I sell my time and knowledge.  If you contact either of us, I’m confident you will receive strong consultation support… and it will cost you for our time and knowledge.
To the extent that professionals can engage in public professional-level discussions, parents may benefit at lesser financial cost.
The time and knowledge of attorneys will be necessary to achieving a solution, as will be the time and knowledge from clinical psychology.  The path we forge for solutions in the family courts can then be followed by pro se litigants.
Additional legal and mental health professionals are welcome to join in dialogue.  Always a nice entry into discussion is a question.
