I was looking for the latest news on parental alienation and came across these mini videos from Dr Bone. They educate on different aspects of parental alienation. They are short in length but filled with valuable infomation to educate others. Below are three of many released that I found on his site on you tube.
I have had a chance to review this book titled A Family’s Heartbreak. The book goes far beyond a family broken by parental alienation; it adds clarity on all realms of parental alienation. It includes the mental and legal aspects associated with the dynamics that families suffer from. It outlines the behavior of an alienating parent while displaying the reasons alienating behavior might manifest in a relationship.
A Family’s Heartbreak shows the breakdown of a parent child relationship that was once healthy. I was intrigued by the element of the story in which his other son was caught in the cross fire with his alienator but was not a participant of the alienation. He truly wanted BOTH parents. In the end it is vile for a parent to pass down their hatred to their child. The book demonstrates step by step from the beginning on the tactics that an alienator uses to “become one” with the child.
I would advise parent’s to encourage their local libraries to include this educational reference to their collection. In my personal opinion this book helped to me to understand underlining factors due to alienation. I would personally ask everyone to thank Mike Jeffries and Dr. Joel Davies for contributing this book to help and educate others on this difficult subject.
This book is both educational for parents, mental, and judicial communities. This book is a winner to have on ANY bookshelf. The book lives up to the title “A Families Heartbreak”.
A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation, is the true story of one parent’s struggle to maintain a normal, loving relationship with his young son in the face of overwhelming odds. From the emotionally devastating actions of the child’s other parent, to a court system and mental health community ill-equipped to deal with a destructive family dynamic, A Family’s Heartbreak: A Parent’s Introduction to Parental Alienation is both an education in parental alienation and an eye opening experience for parents who don’t believe this could happen to them.
Included are reviews from Dr. Warshak and Dr. Bone
“A provocative and compelling account of the destruction of a father-son relationship and the legal system’s complicity in the process. Jeffries pulls back the curtain on the tragedy of a child whose love turns to contempt as he takes sides in his parents’ divorce. Sure to be an eye-opener for parents and professionals alike.” –Richard A. Warshak, Ph.D, Author of Divorce Poison: Protecting the Parent-Child Bond From a Vindictive Ex
“Mike Jeffries has used the trauma and tragedy of his personal nightmare to illuminate how what would seem unbelievable can actually occur. From the theoretical concepts of parental alienation to its most excruciating details, his story vividly illustrates how far a close parent-child relationship can fall. This book is a must read for anyone who suspects that parental alienation is working its way into his or her life.”
–Dr. J. Michael Bone, Clinical and Forensic Consultant on Parent Alienation
I’m including a link where Mike Jeffries was interviewed by Lary Holland and myself last week on the show Get Your Justice Live.
I have many people asking how they can help the movement. My answer is normally do what you can do as long as it’s taking action. A little while back I posted a blog about a show topic on Get Your Justice Live about the Parental Rights Amendment. US Rep Pete Hoekstra talked with Lary Holland (Host and Producer of Get Your Justice Live) about the Amendment and what we as concerned citizens can do to help.
We were asked to call our local representives and congress to show support for the bill. We are up to 71 sponsors and are looking for more. You can keep those calls coming in and let them know we are here and want our voices heard.
From the Get Your Justice Live Newsletter
It is official, we have a Joint Resolution Number of 42. When speaking to Senators and Representatives you may now refer to the Parental Rights Amendment as House Joint Res. 42 or HJR-42.
You might remember, that we have had Congressman Hoekstra, Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum, and Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America on our show the past several weeks in support of Parental Rights and the now reintroduced Parental Rights Amendment.
In the early rumblings of the reintroduction, you might remember there being only 24 Co Sponsors of the Parental Rights Amendment. Through a joint effort of several organizations we were able to increase co sponsorship to 71 total Sponsors in the House of Representatives. It is important to note that campaigns are mounting for increased Senate Participation and will be starting in the coming weeks.Want to help?
Listen to ! the show ! You can visit the website and hear all the shows or visit the link below to hear Congressman Hoekstra directly.
The language is simple: “The liberty of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children is a fundamental right.” The Congressman demonstrated clear examples of where parents make a better caregiver than the government. Congressman Hoekstra further said that one of the causes of the erosion of our parental rights is government growth, “Men of zeal who lack understanding, ” people that basically mean well but who lack understanding. It is imperative that we protect our parental rights from both domestic and international government intrusions, but that means discussing our concerns consistently with our government officials.
“It is infinitely more valuable to fight for the rights of others, than to fight for your own” -Lary Holland (2007)
“Parental Rights should be respected and protected by all.” -Lary Holland (2008)
