Here I come. It’s time.

I didn’t do a Coffee talk yesterday because the universe grabbed me and sat me down for the day – I slept all day.

I had work to do, I had a report to finish, and I slept all day because the universe said… sleep.

My dreams are odd these days. I don’t visually dream anymore, I think in a different way. I thought in dream-thoughts yesterday. It’s helpful to understanding things.

I’ll be doing my Coffee talk in a moment. It will be Point 0 on an emerging Line that’s been emerging the entire time.

I’m going to enter the Line and give it life.

I tried to bring our two realities as close as I could in Phase 1 before we entered Phase 2. We’re entering Phase 2 now, so this is as close as the realities get before… it’s just a jump.

Jumps are disruptive. Jumps cause splashes of turbulence. It’s best if we only make small jumps, or even steps (little jumps) in understanding to action.

It remains a pretty big jump from one reality to the coming reality. There will be a significant splash when the rock hits the water. The time for educating you is over. It’s now time to educate them… but that’s not in the plan.

If I have to educate them… they are not competent (violation to 2.01) by demonstrated need to be educated by me.

It’s a double-bind. They can’t remain ignorant (lack of knowledge or information), and they can’t become educated without admitting their prior ignorance that needs to now become educated.

And I’ll be educating them, which means I know and they don’t – acknowledged by their need to be educated by me.

Or they can remain ignorant and I will go after their license for their negligent ignorance and incompetence – violations to Standards 2.04 and 2.01.

They can’t remain where they are – ignorant. They can’t change to become educated without admitting their ignorance.

They can’t change to a clinical diagnostic assessment (the application of the DSM-5) without admitting that their quasi-judicial role for doctors was a complete failure.

We’re not going back to the made-up pathology of PAS. Nor are we remaining with forensic custody evaluations that are a demonstrated failure.

We are returning to established knowledge and established professional practices – diagnosis guides treatment – the diagnostic systems are the DSM-5/ICD-11 of the American Psychiatric Association and World Health Organization.

I’m coming out now. They will – for a fact – have to deal with Dr. Childress. Ignoring Dr. Childress is not going to be an option. I still have plenty of things left to do to turn up the heat on them.

The change back to the DSM-5 is coming – fact. Compliance with the APA ethics code is coming – fact.

I’m here – I’m visible – and I’m both.

If nothing else, they will need to testify in support of their reports and I’ll have them for cross-examination. I’ll also have them in my line-by-line reviews of their reports. No escape, I’m in the courts.

They will be unable to ignore Dr. Childress.

But they can’t engage with the information because the information will destroy them. It’s a double-bind.

What’s going to happen? They will be destroyed.

That’s linear-logical reasoning – if they can’t avoid me and I’m their destruction – then they will be destroyed in their careers.

I’m coming for them. It’s time. I am released.

You parents don’t understand yet because you’re as crazy as they are. Watch.

Charlie McCready – Professional advice on PA-

Coping with the opinions and suggestions of friends, family, and even mental health care professionals can be challenging when facing parental alienation. It’s helpful to remember, they don’t mean to be unkind, they’re just ignorant and have no idea what we’re going through. That’s why it is helpful to be on groups such as this (I hope). I’ve walked in your shoes. My partner has too. We have over 20 years experience, and as step-parents too. We have also experienced the lack of empathy and true understanding from friends, family and ‘experts’. We sometimes find ourselves educating the educators and suggesting how people in positions of authority and safeguarding might better be able to detect alienating behaviours. Do you, too? Make sure you prioritise self-care. It does feel isolating. But you are not alone. Unfortunately, there are thousands and thousands feeling alone just like you. Just like I did (which is why I do all these posts). Set up boundaries. Reach out for help. Focus on the present, not the past and the love, not the loss. Maintain hope and – if you can – stay committed to maintaining a loving and open presence in your child’s life. Stay strong, my friends.

Tired of seeing pictures of the comet? Well how about this picture of Orion’s Nebula I just took! Many refer to it as the gateway to heaven. 1,344 light years away. First time ever thinking to capture this. Taken with, you guessed it, an iPhone 15 Pro. 🌌💫🗡️🔭🍬📱

Heavy Hearts 😢❤️ /Charlie McCready

Parents whose children have been coerced and manipulated to reject them carry a heavy heart. The pain of being unjustly and cruelly alienated from one’s own children is an emotionally devastating and deeply challenging cross to bear. Carrying on means persevering through difficult circumstances, remaining resilient in the face of adversity, and prioritising your well-being and personal growth. It involves finding ways to cope with the emotional pain, and seeking support from trusted individuals. It means getting on with your life but hoping your child will regain clarity and autonomy. Ultimately, carrying on despite this heavy burden is an act of resilience, love, and hope. It is a testament to your strength and determination to navigate the challenges of parental alienation while keeping your heart open for the possibility of reconciliation and a renewed connection with your children. You are AMAZING.

Defining Parental Alienation

There is some debate surrounding the term “parental alienation” that reflects broader complexities within the realms of mental health, legal practice, and social dynamics. Let’s break it down:⁠

⁠

Parental Alienation: This term is recognised chiefly by those who have experienced it for themselves, it is a way for us to find each other in what otherwise is an isolating, traumatic experience. The term itself refers to a situation where one parent deliberately manipulates their child’s perception of the other parent, often leading to the child’s unjustified rejection or hostility towards that parent where, before separation or divorce, there existed a good, loving bond.⁠

⁠

Some renowned experts in the field prefer the term “attachment disorder” or “attachment-based parental alienation” to describe the dynamics seen in what others might label as “parental alienation.” The argument is that focusing on attachment disorders provides a more nuanced understanding of the underlying psychological mechanisms. Others criticise the term “parental alienation”, claiming it to be ‘debunked’ ‘pseudoscience’ which is misused in legal contexts. Certain women’s advocacy groups argue that the term “parental alienation” can be weaponized by abusive individuals, particularly men, to deflect accountability and continue exerting control over their former partners.⁠

⁠

However, with all this debate, we are divided rather than united in combating the real problem, which is partner/spousal and child psychological abuse. The focus should not solely be on debating semantics or labels but rather on addressing the actual harm inflicted upon children and families when one parent uses them as pawns in their own conflicts. Whether termed “parental alienation” or viewed through the lens of attachment disorders, the fundamental issue is the manipulation and abuse of children for personal gain or vengeance. By prioritizing the well-being of children and holding accountable those who engage in such harmful behaviours, we can work towards fostering healthier familial relationships and protecting vulnerable individuals from further harm.⁠
