huffington Post engages in censorship and hatred of women yet again

Warshack recently published a false article on PA/PAS/PAD/HAP/MMS and the protective parents movement tried to comment to show a balance and give information from the viewpoint of the abused mother and child. Sadly Warshack and/or Huff Post felt these comments did not need to be published.

We now have another writer who is engaging in the same censorship. On Huff Post we have "Parental Alienation: It's About More Than "A Uterus, Divorce Papers and Bruises" by Cathy Meyer. Another "expert" as you can see by her bio:

Cathy Meyer is a Certified Divorce Coach, Marriage Educator and Legal Investigator. She works with people who expected to be married forever but are now facing divorce. Through her writing and individual coaching, Cathy provides clients with strategies and resources that empower them and equip
them with the skills needed to grow through a time of adversity.

Cathy is the Guide to Divorce Support@About.com, a resource writer for First Wives World and the co-founder of Divorced Women Online. An online magazine written by divorced women, for divorced women.

Certified Divorce Coach? What the hell is that? Oh I know - someone else to make money off the heartache people invariably suffer when going through a divorce. And someone else who OBVIOUSLY has NO CLUE what abuse in a marriage is about. Have you ever sat and watched your parents or your child or even yourself get shot at? How about stabbed Cathy? Or wait here is even one better. How about having your abuser kill himself and have that forever weighing on your conscious? Or read the hundreds of stories daily where a FATHER who is supposed to LOVE his children, supposed to honor and protect and CHERISH his wife, belittles and beats them daily? No? Didn't think so. Then you need to shut your trap about abuse in a marriage and the aftermath of a divorce afterward. What type of domestic violence and abuse training have you had? Didn't think so.

Now what has spurred Petunia into this rant. A reader took a screenshot of a post she made as well as a post made in response to a well known protective parent blogger. It seems Ms Meyers feels that a parents right to have their child trumps a mother's (and many times child's) right to be free from abuse. Yep there you have it. Women are crap in Cathy's mind. Don't believe me just look below for the actual text and a screenshot of the comment:

I am more interested in protecting a child from the harm parental alienation does than protecting a few women who have suffered abuse.

So there you have it folks. We are finally getting to the bottom of this. The FReaks and FRags could give two shits less about abused women. Just make sure those daddies (all of them even the nasties) are allowed to continue to control and manipulate the children.

I guess you do not need to be a doctor/psychologist/psychiatrist to make up a medical term

Yep folks you heard that right. Straight from Attila's mouth!!! We have what is alleged to be the origination of HAP (lesser known sibling of PAS/PA). HAP for those wondering is short for Hostile Aggressive Parenting. PAS is dying a not quick enough slow death, and we have all these quacks jumping in with "new" terms, terms that are basically the same thing. The best one to day is Malicious Mother Syndrome. But hey, at least with this one they (meaning FR/MRA's) are COMPLETELY honest about their motives. They feel it is all about the mothers and it is all the mothers fault these divorces are happening, and if only the mother would ... (fill in the blank).

Well Petunia has a doctorate in life (just ask anyone who knows her), so I have decided to make my own syndrome.

Frothing Father's Syndrome.....

This is evidenced by a woman who has filed a restraining order for abuse against the man. The man then loudly proclaims his innocence to all, eventually taking his case to the internet. It is also evidenced by those men who are not divorced, but who perpetuate the myth of the denied father. There have been several worst case scenarios out there. Those who create a website going to the extreme of saying the wife stole the kids and more. The men (and sometimes misguided women) who suffer from FFS will frequent men's blogs and forums. They will dress up like superheros and even climb cranes or bridges in order to call attention to their plight.

Some of the lesser problems of this syndrome also include prolonged litigation over issues that have been resolved, the rerfusal to pay child support 0 even to the extent of going to jail for the principle of non-payment (citing slavery, debtor's prisons, etc). There are so many aspects of this syndrome/disease that Petunia has determined that a cure is not possible. Medication will not solve this issue. Therapy never works. Petunia is seeking sponsors for inclusion of this in the DSM. As we all learned from PAS and now HAP and MMS, peer review is NOT required. I simply have to publish this pften enough and it will be taken at face value.

WHAT? You mean that there is no such thing? Say it isn't so!!!!

Anyway, read Attila's words of wisdom for more information on the "creation" of HAP:

Thank you Bat Girl for pointing Lacy and others to an excellent web site at:http://www.paawareness.org/ .

I would like to take this opportunity to mention that it was Vernon Beck, founder of www.CanadaCourtWatch.com and www.familyservices.com who coined the term HAP, Hostile Aggressive Parenting that can be found on his site free of charge here,
