Mutter und Vater sind gleichwertig / Mother and Father are equal

An interview with the deputy leader of the Freie Demokraten (UK: Lib Dems) where for the first time that I have heard here in Germany a major political figure is supporting the concept of shared-parenting (Doppelresidenz).

She even goes on to say that when the parents cannot agree to the future residence of the children the courts should be allowed to order shared-parenting. Shame that the party will only reach 5-6% of the votes in the upcoming general election in Germany.

My Trip to the Local Contact Centre, Part 1

Lee Azevado's avatarLee Serpa Azevado

After 6 and half months of no contact with my three children due to extreme parental alienation, after overcoming unfounded safeguarding concerns against me and after spending in excess of £5,000 in legal fees, a couple of weeks ago I had a planned visit to a Contact Centre, with the plan to see my youngest child, my daughter for one hour. As stated above, at that point I had not seen any of my children for 6 and a half months. I am continuously led to believe via their mother’s solicitor that none of my children want to see me ever again.

During the week or so building up to the visit, it was with a huge amount of guilt that I tried to put the visit at the back of mind and attempted to distract myself with work and spending time with loved ones.

This coping strategy worked to some degree until…

False victimisation syndrome. When the ‘victim’ is really the abuser.

pennymellor's avatarpennymellor

Very little research has been undertaken when it comes to people making false allegations that they have or are victims of a crime outside of Munchausen Syndrome, which touches on it, but only in the context of garnering attention by faking illness and anecdotal references to false allegations of sexual abuse etc. There is however, within ICD and DSM collective references and research into this type of behaviour under various diagnostic criteria for severe personality disorders and psychiatric illnesses.

  • In the wake of the social media explosion, the allegations of being a victim of something has become increasingly more common, with report after report being made to law enforcement agencies that the ‘victim’ is being further abused online. It is a very public and extreme form of attention seeking. There are no circumstances I can think of, in the real world, in which anyone could stand on a crowded street…

Karen Woodall on PA Awareness Day 2017

Another Parental Alienation Awareness Day rolls around and I am thinking of all the children missing out on their parent’s love and all the parents who are thinking of their children and wondering how they are today. Because today is Parental Alienation Awareness Day, the emphasis being upon the word awareness, I thought it might be […]

25. April ist internationaler PAS-Tag – kein Feiertag

A report on the demo in Vienna yesterday (PAS Awareness Day). It is definitely worth translating if you cannot do German. The authorities tried to have them removed from the off, only when they presented their permission to demo, where they allowed to stay in front to the families ministry in Vienna. They even mention that the internal security services (equ. to FBI, MI5 etc.) who apparently took a lot of pictures!

Good luck to them in their cause. Austria is in my personal reading of the situation in Europe at the bottom of the list regarding PAS, Fathers rights, family court situation etc.

WAS FÜR EIN GEILER TAG

25. April internationaler PAS-Tag25. April internationaler PAS-Tag

Der 25. April ist ja der internationale PAS-Tag – im Grunde kein Feiertag.

Heute haben sich aber wieder Väter ohne Rechte, die Männerpartei und Vaterverbot gemeinsam vor dem Familienministerium eingefunden um auf die Thematik im Zuge einer Petition aufmerksam zu machen.

Bundesministerium für Familien und JugendBundesministerium für Familien und Jugend

Schön, wenn wieder die Väterplattform geschlossen auftritt!

Insgesamt fanden sich grob 25 Leute zumindest zeitweilig ein um auf das Thema aufmerksam zu machen.

Gleich zu Beginn hatten wir Besuch vom Verfassungsschutz, der uns auch eifrig fotografierte. Für Aufregung sorgte, dass wir das mitgebrachte Zelt wegen des Windes an einer Säule am Gebäude festmachten – 2 ministrielle Beamte reklamierten das sofort und verlangten eine sofortige Entfernung. Auf solche Diskussionen lassen wir uns erst gar nicht mehr ein. Flugs wurde die Hausverwaltung gerufen, die…

Swiss men are worried …

A poll was taken recently in the German-speaking area of Switzerland. 4121 men and 2768 women were polled regarding Feminismus und Gleichberechtigung (Feminism and Equality). This is a large sample for a poll apparently.

There were some interesting results, as can be taken from the report here (Google can do the heavy lifting for the translation!).

The really interesting result with respect to the subject matter of this blog is this:

German-speaking Swiss males feel that they are discriminated on the most in the area of “Bei meinen Rechten als Vater” (My rights as a father) with 38%. The topics all had to do with equality so the next point 12% behind (24%) was with conscription (mandatory only for swiss males).

swiss opinion poll

German-Speaking Swiss males also had problems with the social acceptance of the classical father role (11%).

Fathers are unsure of their rights, and are starting to see that problems that occur after a separation/divorce regarding custody or access to the children are not being resolved and that there appears to be no real desire to change this situation, regardless of the gender of the abused parent.

It’s time to change – all across Europe. Perhaps finally adopting the shared parenting recommendation of the Council of Europe (here) throughout all European (and still European!) countries would be a good start?

25. April, internationaler Tag Eltern-Kind-Entfremdung (PAS)

admin Familie Familienrecht- family law austria germany's avatarFamilie & Familienrecht


Presseaussendung:
25. April: Tag gegen Elternentfremdung

25. April, Tag gegen Elternentfremdung: heimliche Gewalt von unheimlichen Ausmaßen!

Die österreichische Väterplattform begeht am 25. April den internationalen Tag gegen Elternentfremdung. Dazu stellt die Männerpartei klar: Elternentfremdung ist tiefgreifende Gewalt gegen zahlreiche Menschen.

Ist Elternentfremdung Gewalt?
Gewalt definiert sich dadurch, dass jemand beeinflussend, verändernd oder schädigend auf andere einwirkt. Elternentfremdung schadet nachweislich Kindern, Elternteilen (zumeist Vätern) und vielen Verwandten (zumeist väterlicherseits). Somit ist jede Elternentfremdung fortgesetzte Gewaltausübung gegen mehrere Personen.

Das Ignorieren von Gewalt durch Elternentfremdung in Politik und Justiz
Die österreichische Politik und Österreichs Justiz scheint meisterlich im Ignorieren von Gewaltformen wie Elternentfremdung zu sein. Doch ebenso, wie der Baum im Wald auch dann vom Blitz getroffen wird, wenn wir nicht hinsehen, handelt es sich bei jeder Elternentfremdung klipp und klar um brutale, seelische, familiäre Gewalt, egal, ob wir hin- oder wegsehen.

Die gesellschaftliche Dimension
Gewalt wird umso bedrückender erlebt, je weniger…
