    Behind Closed Doors: The Hidden Struggles of Abused Husbands Feb 23, 2024
    Show notes

    Welcome to today's special episode, where we shine a light on a topic that often remains in the shadows. While we've dedicated much of our discussion to the challenges and triumphs of women navigating the turbulent waters of high-conflict, abusive relationships, today, we pivot to honor a group whose struggles are equally profound, yet less often heard. This episode is dedicated to the men—the unspoken victims of domestic abuse.

    Abuse knows no gender, and the pain it inflicts bears no prejudice. Men, too, find themselves caught in the grip of emotional, verbal, and physical abuse within their intimate relationships, battling the stereotypes that question their experiences and silence their voices. Today, we stand with you, acknowledging your struggles and affirming that your pain is real, your experiences are valid, and your journey towards healing is deserving of attention and support. Together, let's break the silence and build a bridge of understanding and empathy for all emerging from the shadows of high-conflict and abusive relationships.

    My dad was a victim of domestic abuse, here's his story…

    JBD Team Talks: How to Tell The Kids in High Conflict Divorce Feb 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Telling the children about your impending divorce is always a fragile, emotional conversation. The general rule is both parents tell the children together, refer to the decision as mutual and assure them that they are loved and their lives with continue with limited change.

    However, when facing a high conflict divorce, such advice may be unwise and even dangerous. If you are expecting your high conflict ex to blame you, create undo chaos and emotional overwhelm and catastrophize your choice, telling the children together may not be in their (or your) best interest.

    Listen as Karen walks you through another, one that you don't typically hear and that may resonate as safer and more aligned with your reality. Journey Beyond Divorce Resources mentioned in this episode:

    Special Guest: Breaking the Barriers of Parental Alienation - Strategies for Recognizing Signs and Restoring Connections with Charlie McCready Jan 25, 2024
    Show notes

    Parental alienation is a deeply complex and emotionally charged issue, where one parent, influences the child to reject or fear the other parent. This process distresses the alienated parent, who experiences profound loss and heartache. It also inflicts psychological harm on the child. The child, caught in the crossfire of adult conflicts, might develop issues with trust, guilt, and self-esteem, often carrying these emotional scars into adulthood. The alienated parent grapples with feelings of helplessness, grief, and frustration, sometimes leading to severe emotional and mental health challenges. In severe cases, this form of emotional abuse can create long-lasting rifts, affecting the child's ability to form healthy relationships in the future.

    It's crucial for the alienated parent to adopt a long-term perspective focused on healing and self-care. Healing oneself is not just a pathway to potentially rebuilding the relationship with the child; it's essential for leading a fulfilling life, irrespective of the outcome. This approach underscores the importance of patience, self-compassion, resilience and the relentless pursuit of personal growth and emotional balance.

    With us today is Charlie McCready, who has himself been an alienated parent for over 20 years. Charlie has taken his pain and his experienced to fuel his passion to support other parents to navigate this emotional storm with more hope, grace and perseverence by providing invaluable insights and effective strategies. Charlie has a comprehensive 9 step program to navigate the challenges of PA and rebuild relationships with your children.
