American Fathers Liberation: September 2018

A Father's Anguish

In my life I've seen the heavy toll that divorce and separation can take - psychologically, emotionally, and financially. I've been extensively involved in divorce and paternity litigation and witnessed the way a non-custodial parent, especially fathers, are often forced to abandon all hopes of equitable rights wen it comes to their children.

It was difficult to write this.

Although my experiences with judges, lawyers, and court-ordered therapists during my own hi-conflict divorce and paternity proceedings left me outraged over the injustices are endemic to the family law system in our society.

So I had no desire to revisit them.

The pain I suffer, the fear, and anger I felt (and still feel) toward nearly all the principals involved, and the inescapable sense of hopelessness and isolation exhausted me. However, to live inside the family court matrix, to be engaged in that battle, ultimately means, to be poised to tell my story, to make make my point, to argue my side at a moments notice. It is a fire that is constantly burning.

This is an issue that impacts all citizens everywhere. There is a serious problem and health risk in the family courts that ''we the people'' depend on to protect us.

My family court cases are not unique. But what is unique is that I just happen to be the first US citizen (according to a Federal Judge) declared disabled (determined through expert testimony) because of the family courts. In 2016 I began receiving disability benefits because of a diagnosed ''injury'' called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Legal Abuse Syndrome) as the result of fraudulent and abusive legal proceedings in connection to the family court system.

I'm suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome a sub-category of PTSD specifically from abusive legal proceedings. It's no different than combat trauma or PTSD in victims of torture. In fact it is diagnosed on the same MMPI sub-scale.

My case is still open and haven't seen my daughter again in almost four years. The wound still remains open.

Let me stress that PTSD(LAS) is an inflicted injury - NOT A MENTAL ILLNESS!!! It's an assault behind the judicial curtains where no one hears you - let alone the judge.

Strangely enough after reaching the point where they (the Family Courts) had burned my rights to the ground leaving no hope of a fair hearing, remedy, and or redress; all denied and out of reach.

I did not despair. Instead I reached the point of empowerment and became a top father's rights activist and found my voice to be revolutionary. That's what happens under tyranny...just look at history.

A court-inflicted injury on those it is supposed to protect should be cause for alarm among all citizens!!

"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." (Tecumseh).

Tell Your Story

AFLA

Fathers have become undervalued, family structure has become disposable, children suffer without both parents but so often father is left out, seen as nonessential. Let's correct this by bringing attention to it! We're happy to populate the Internet with information that is helpful, supportive, and conducive to fostering father-child relationships, reducing or eliminating Parental Alienation, for the betterment of our children's psychological and emotional health, and for the future health of our families and societies.
