Rethinking Psychosis: Nursing’s Role in Challenging Psychiatry’s Biological Paradigm

My 1st nurse in the psychiatric ER , leaned down and whispered

” honey you don’t belong here ” , which I knew in my heart but

I had to follow through . Later , I looked up to see a woman with her

arms and hands focused on choking me to death ; I screamed

and she was removed to solitary in a straight jacket..

nightmare stuff to a 37 year old Mom and wife of a highly distorted

man , never a partner , who needed me at home to watch his sons

age 11, 6, and 6 ..

Xanax , more addictive that the worst street drug , was determined to

be suspected Bipolar , disregarding my trauma , my abuse ( I’d been hit )

and altered my life forever more , removing me from sons , acknowledging

the dark heart and soul of X , but determined to make it work .

I had no one to work it out with …shadow swallowed him up long

ago.. he wanted company , he’s got ” his sons / grandchildren ” to

believe him ..

Hyper-Independence is often the result of trauma

Our alienated child needs others too. They need both loving/loved parents in their life. If a person has suffered emotional damage from abandonment, betrayal or broken trust, hyper-independence might be evidenced. The highly capable, independent and tough-skinned approach. The defensiveness. The need to not appear weak, vulnerable or in need of help. For the alienated child, they feel they can’t depend on either parent. One has behaved as a child, selfishly and belligerently (not to mention abusively), and the ‘target’ parent has been rejected as a result. To appease the alienating/aligned parent, the child has denied themselves a closer relationship (or any kind of relationship) with the parent who would give them unconditional love, emotional support and protection. The alienated child has parented the alienating parent and can be prone (sometimes by a trigger that takes them back to the root of the trauma) to feeling now that nobody cares about them. It is about trust. Who can they trust if the person they trusted the most failed them so badly? The child/hyper-independent person must learn to trust the rejected parent, putting aside all their sense of guilt and shame and confusion. It is hard for them to learn to be vulnerable and trusting. But it can be done, and it is an incredibly powerful and healing step forwards when they do this. When we all do this.

Foxes guarding the hen house – Charlie Mc Cready – Parental Alienation

“The fox guarding the hen house” is an idiom which evokes the imagery of a potentially harmful situation where those in authority might exploit their entrusted responsibilities, just as a fox, an animal known to prey on hens, shouldn’t be assigned the duty of protecting the hens it might be tempted to sacrifice for their own good. In the context of ‘parental alienation’, the family court system, and the role of mental health professionals, this idiom resonates deeply with the struggles faced by alienated parents who often lack robust support from those placed in positions of authority and guidance. It suggests a huge conflict of interest. It could also be that the alienating parent is the fox. They present themselves as protective, when in fact, they are just looking after their own interests. They exploit their connection to their child, they manipulate the child’s perception of the world outside ‘the henhouse’. The child does not perceive the danger they’re in. ⁠

⁠

In either of these scenarios, the fox becomes symbolic of those who exploit their authority or positions of trust, potentially causing harm to the well-being of children and families. ⁠

⁠

There is a need for unbiased risk assessments, collaborative solutions, and a commitment to the well-being of all parties involved. It cannot be taken at face value that there’s ‘parental alienation’ or ‘domestic abuse’ and those in positions of power and safeguarding need to be able to determine what’s really going on. We need vigilance, fairness, and objectivity, with those in positions of authority understanding alienating behaviours and acting with the utmost integrity and empathy, ultimately safeguarding the well-being of families and children caught in these complex dynamics.⁠
