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.
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!!
I AM MY DAUGHTER AND SON'S FATHER -- A FIT FATHER!!
