I’m a father of three beautiful children. But I no longer have a relationship with them. I’ve been a victim of domestic abuse, but I am a man.

Parental Alienation & the Three Wise Monkeys
I was inspired to write this article following my own reading of Dr Childress' latest blog entitled The Door of Empathy.
