A Great Way to Connect with your Alienated Child - The Memorabilia Technique and Family Video

In this video, I discuss a way I connected to my son after being an out-of-custody dad for 16 of 18 years. I spent precious little time with him during his childhood, so I decided to create video libraries of his ancestors, deceased grandparents, and great grandparents so he could know everything he could about his family background. Family videos in documentary-style format gives him a sense of identity and a video library of his family heritage.

Parental Alienation Relational Problem and the DSM

https://youtu.be/l5xvVMcOH4E
Most parental alienation scholars and also alienated parents and grandparents would like to see parental alienation included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

problem to be added to one of the chapters in DSM-5-TR.

Children of High-Conflict Divorce Face Many Challenges

https://youtu.be/90wuExXJUck
Children may follow several paths through battlefield terrain when their parents engage in a high-conflict separation. The children may avoid much of the conflict by declaring neutrality. Nevertheless, there will be issues that will need to be resolved. Fortunately, DSM-5 includes terminology: child affected by parental relationship distress, parent-child relational problem, and child psychological abuse that help classify children who experience high-conflict parental separation or divorce so they can receive necessary health care treatment.

Family Dinner Night, taken from Dr. Warren Farrell's The Boy Crisis

https://youtu.be/fZ--dZi3nOg
What is the boy crisis? It's a crisis of education. For the first time in American history, our sons will have less education than their dads. It's a crisis of mental health. As boys become young men, their su***de rates go from equal to girls to six times that of young women. It's a crisis of sexuality. S*x is a minefield for our sons. They're bombarded with mixed messages, afraid of being either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. It's a crisis of fathering. Boys with less-involved fathers are more likely to drop out of school, drink, do drugs, become delinquent, and end up in prison. It's a crisis of purpose. Boys' old senses of purposes, being a warrior, a leader, or a sole breadwinner, are fading. Many bright boys are experiencing a "purpose void", feeling alienated, withdrawn, and addicted to immediate gratification. Compounding this issue are addicting video games that lead to distraction and ADHD. Having Family Dinner Night is just one of Dr. Warren Farrell’s solutions.

The Benefits of Longitudinal Evaluations in Parental Alienation Cases

The Johnny Depp Verdict - What it means to those who've been shot by the Silver Bullet

https://youtu.be/rWrIoyogiRU
The Johnny Depp victory in his defamation trial against Amber Heard has scored a victory for those who have been falsely accused of domestic abuse or violence by a scorned lover. Victims of defamation have long complained that an allegation doesn’t have to be true to permanently ruin a person’s reputation, status in the community, business or professional career, and even life. Johnny Depp’s legal victory strikes a blow against cancel culture, guilt by allegation, and the absolute power of the false accusation. This video includes a legal breakdown of the defamation claim.

Our Courts Encourage False Allegations or Abuse by Failing to Prosecute False Claims

https://youtu.be/wKzZM7sWfxo
In 2019, the Dads’ Resource Center conducted two separate surveys which found highly insufficient record-keeping and oversight at the county level in the issuance of Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders and the role of Guardian Ad Litems, both of which often impact fathers’ capacity to be active in the lives of their children. These results reflect how our institutions are passively enabling the deterioration of father family involvement.

For my viewers interested in family court reform, in this episode, I interviewed Dr. Howard Robboy, an expert in sociology – he’s a retired sociology professor from The College of New Jersey. In this interview, he discusses government corruption, and these concepts apply to family court as well. Dr. Robboy, tells us that when you have corruption in one location, and have similar circumstances in another location, then you have a probability of having corruption in that other location. This tells us that the problems we see in family court exist in other similar jurisdictions to our own.

In this episode, I interviewed Joe Gormley of the Saving Fatherhood Podcast. He “encourages and equips Christians to witness and disciple to the growing population of broken families caused by the Family Court System.” His episodes focus on helping Christians learn the problems broken families face including no fault divorce, parental alienation, child protective services, and other material and spiritual issues that can be specific to broken families.

I wanted to have Joe on because he got married in Louisiana under a “Covenant Marriage,” one of only 3 states to recognize this type of marriage. Many court reformers want to abolish no-fault divorce, and the option of “Covenant Marriages” is a way to opt in to such a system, at least in these three jurisdiction. Join us as we discuss the problems with no-fault divorce, and Joe and his wife’s attempt to avoid no-fault law.
