This web-site exists mainly to provide info on violence to parents and parent abuse as there is almost nothing on the web. See link to "Violence to parents" in the bar above.

It also provides a way to contact me even if my e-mail address changes.

It will also provide access to some of my other writing on topics such as disability, marital separation, strength-focussed counselling, etc (if I ever get time to add them).

[Apologies if you've visited recently and most of the links were dead. Been having attacks by gremlins. Fixed most of them.]

 

FROM A RECENT E-MAIL:

I seriously felt that I was on my last legs until a very dear friend told me about your website. I live in outback QLD and first looked at your website at work and I couldn’t stop crying. Everything that I was reading I had been through and am still going through but on different levels. Your website has given me a source of normality, knowing that other parents have gone through or are going through the same issues that we have faced.

I have been totally inspired about your website and have taken solace in it.
I seriously believed that I was the only one going through this and didn’t even think there would be a website like yours.
I can relate to the letters from your parents that are on your site in some way.

I felt like I had nowhere to turn to until I read your website, every word of it. It gave me strength and confirmed to me what we are doing is the right thing. Being strong and united, setting boundaries and sticking with them.
