The Invisible Parent - The Dark Art of Parental Alienation

Anonimo

Sinossi

What happens when the very same system designed to protect children fails?

That’s exactly what is happening right now in the UK family courts in cases of Parental Alienation, a form of post-divorce abuse.

Cafcass define Parental Alienation as ‘when a child’s resistance or hostility towards one parent is not justified and is the result of psychological manipulation by the other parent’; yet experts, therapists and social workers are not trained to assess or deal with cases involving Parental Alienation. I spent years making my case to judges, experts and lawyers, all of whom failed to agree on what was actually happening between my ex-wife, my kids and myself. At the time it seemed like I was constantly trying to prove a negative, to find a new direction to reach my kids, and while all were promising, all ended in expensive dead ends as my ex-wife pursued her agenda.

If I had to sum up the experience of trying to prove Parental Alienation in the courts, I would describe it as being trapped in the backseat of a car while it crashes in slow motion.

The system is not fit for purpose. The family courts are slow and busy, burdened by the backlog of cases. Once you do get a hearing, they are often set months away and even then, traditional safeguarding assessments fail to detect Parental Alienation. The longer the child is away from a parent, the harder it is to stop the alienation, and the longer the issue remains unaddressed, the risk of the children suffering mental health and behavioural problems increases. Alienated parents also often display signs of post-traumatic stress: paranoia, anxiety and in some cases are suicidal.

It is my hope that this book will not only draw attention to the potential injustice in cases of Parental Alienation and the need for meaningful reform to prevent further irreparable damage, but that it will help a parent going through a family separation spot signs before it’s too late.

Medieval Europe’s Mercenaries:...

Editors Charles River

The Middle Ages have long been remembered for armored knights battling on horseback and armies of men trying to breach the walls of formidable castles, but what is generally forgotten is that medieval warfare was constantly adapting to the times as leaders adopted new techniques and technology, and common infantry became increasingly important throughout the period. Meanwhile, political and technological progress led to continuous change of tactics and equipment. Cavalry became ascendant, only to be later replaced by infantry as their weapons improved, and by the end of the period, warfare was radically changing thanks to the rise of gunpowder weapons such as the handgonne and the bombard. 
The Middle Ages witnessed almost constant warfare in Europe, so mercenaries were a constant on the battlefield, but the 15th century also saw the rise of mercenary usage by the increasingly wealthy aristocracy. At the time, England and France existed in smaller versions than in the modern age, while the Spanish had unified into a few large kingdoms and were slowly pushing the Moors off the Iberian Peninsula. Norway and Hungary were larger than they are now, but otherwise, most of Europe was a patchwork quilt of small, constantly warring states. This was especially true in Germany and Italy, where innumerable city-states and little fiefdoms struggled to gain more territory and defend themselves against their neighbors.

Design Any Disaster - The...

Patrick Hardy

What determines whether an unexpected event becomes a disaster is you. 
 
 
 
In Design Any Disaster, certified emergency manager and master business continuity practitioner Patrick Hardy reveals the secrets of disaster preparedness that helped him build the largest and most successful small business and family disaster planning company in the world. He explains why: You should never, ever "remain calm" during a disaster, 99% of all disaster plans are a complete waste of time, and fancy disaster equipment and supplies actually leave you less prepared. 
 
 
 
Design Any Disaster is not a survival manual. It's a revolutionary approach to disaster preparedness, response, and recovery for families and small businesses that can be used whether you live in the middle of a big city, in a quiet suburban neighborhood, or in a rural county with more cows than people. Using the powerful C3 Method Hardy uses with his clients, from Fortune 500 CEOs to average families, you will discover how to get ready (plan effectively), react (focus without panicking), respond (protect yourself and your possessions), and recover (overcome swiftly). And in a revolutionary section you will not find in any other disaster book, Hardy also reveals how to reverse disaster, converting the experience into an opportunity to become wiser and happier.

The Divine Comedy - Exploring...

Odessa Nightshade

Few works in literary history have shaped the cultural and spiritual imagination of the Western world as profoundly as *The Divine Comedy*. Written in the early 14th century by the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, this epic journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise is more than just a tale of the afterlife—it is a meditation on justice, redemption, and the human soul’s search for divine truth. As both a poet and a visionary, Dante crafted a work that bridges medieval theology, classical influences, and deeply personal reflections, creating a narrative that continues to resonate with readers across centuries.  
  
To fully appreciate *The Divine Comedy*, it is essential to understand the world that shaped Dante and the literary traditions that influenced him. Born in 1265, Dante lived in a politically tumultuous Italy, marked by factional strife between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, conflicts that would deeply impact his life and writing. Exiled from his native Florence, he poured his exile’s anguish and his longing for justice into the verses of *The Divine Comedy*, transforming personal suffering into an allegorical masterpiece. His work reflects not only his political frustrations but also his devotion to philosophy, theology, and the poetic traditions of Virgil and the classical world.  
  
At its core, *The Divine Comedy* is an allegory of the soul’s journey toward God. Each of its three realms—*Inferno*, *Purgatorio*, and *Paradiso*—represents stages of moral and spiritual transformation. *Inferno* exposes the consequences of sin, *Purgatorio* explores the trials of purification, and *Paradiso* reveals the ultimate joy of divine enlightenment. This structure serves not only as a vivid depiction of the afterlife but also as a guide for readers seeking moral and spiritual understanding in their own lives.
