Pathological Parenting was designed to assist those who must interact with an 'Ex' or a previous partner on issues related to on-going communication and necessary interactions with them.
As you have probably realized by now, pathologically disordered people do not behave, interact, communicate, or think like non-pathological persons. There are specific challenges and even safety issues connected to trying to communicate and interact when necessary with pathological persons.
For most people, once they are out of a relationship with a pathological person, they try to distance themselves from them--with GOOD reason. However, pathological persons DON'T break up like non-pathologicals. Often, these are the types that will stalk, harrass, and even harm after a relationship break up.
If you have recently exited a relationship with a pathological and they are not respecting your boundaries and your attempted disconnect from the relationship, you often need specific strategies related to pathological behavior in order to make the detachment.
Many counselors who do not specialize in psycho-pathology do not know how to advise you on these issues. Without the right direction, the exact things to do and not do, you are likely to continue being stalked, harrassed, bothered, and scared by the pathological person that will not leave you alone.
What if you must share custody with a pathological? This is the ultimate in frustration for many co-parents. Pathologicals are likely to:
* Kidnap
* Ignore, abuse, neglect
* Sabotage your parenting efforts
* Confuse your child
* Distort information and lie to your child about you
* Tell other professionals/social services fabricated information to make you look bad as a parent
Co-parents are often mortified at the extent pathologicals will go to in making them look bad, lying to the courts/attornies/social services. Co-parent's experience a continued failure in mediation, parenting counseling, and other referred services because of the behavior of the pathological. The pathological can also be responsible for services being withheld from you or your child because they don't want to deal with them.
But there ARE things that can help you, your child, your situation, and your necessary interactions with the pathological parent. You don't have to live in constant frustration, fear, despair, and 'craziness.'
My name is Sandra L. Brown, M.A. I am the author of 'How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved' and 'Counseling Victims of Violence, Eds 1 & 2.'
I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling and am the current director of Safe Relationships, a Relational Harm Reduction and Public Psychopathy Educational Institute. I formerly was the founder and director of Bridgework, Inc. a multi-faceted mental health program that offered both counseling to female victims of violence AND counseling to male pathologicals, perpetrators, and deviants. My 20 year experience in working, counseling, lecturing, and writing about psycho-pathology gives me a unique and specialized focus in how pathologicals think, behave, plot, and plan.
In discussing my book's focus 'How to Spot a Dangerous Man' (which is all about male pathologicals) I have criss-crossed the country giving Dangeorus Man workshops, speaking on 30+ TV shows including CNN, over 50 radio shows, am a regular contributor to on-line websites about pathological relationships, and an expert on various on-line forums. The Dangerous Man book and ideas have been covered in at least 15 major newspapers such as The Petersburg Times, The Rocky Mountain News, The Tampa Tribune, The Seattle Post Intelligencer, The Miami Herald, The Cincinnati Post, to name a few as well as national women's magazines such as Women's Health and The National Examiner.
I have provided professional court opinion reports, consultations, court testimony and other various forms of intervention on behalf of children and co-parents who must deal with pathologicals. Let me help you understand the pathological and plan for a reduction in your future pain and frustration.

Professional Opinion Reports are specialized documents that are written for your particular situation, child, or legal/court/social service providers that you would like to receive specific information about your situation and the pathological involved in your life.
Each report is individually prepared by interviews with you and any others that can provide background information on the pathological's history, behaviors, and likely future behaviors. This information is then developed into a detailed report that included:
* A historical timeline of the pathological's long- term behaviors which may include mental health issues, criminality, other examples of pathological behavior.
* Using the DSM IV (Diagnostic Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders) the report explains what constitutes a pathological disorder.
* Using the time line and other relevant information about the pathological's behavior in this relationship and others, the information is then related to possible pathological disorders that need to be considered in your situation.
* If it is related to child custody, information on pathological parenting outcomes and the effects on children are also given with clinical references to material they can read about it.
* If there has been a breach in court-related or social service-related judgments because of a lack of education or knowledge about pathology, then continuing education suggestions are made.
* Interventions, tips and suggestions for dealing with the pathological is also given.
