I'm a step-mom who would love to have a relationship with my husband's teen daughter, but cannot because of parental alienation. ******************* ("Shark-****") took nearly a year to perform *********-appointed custody evaluation. He cost us $20,000. Requested multiple unnecessary "follow-up" interviews. Allowed the other party to run up the bill with a long list of collateral calls. He repeated everything the other party claimed as though it were gospel truth. He was very anti-********* and critical of our beliefs and politics. He sought confirmation of his biases from the beginning, ignoring all evidence we presented. He considered nothing within its context, and either misquoted my husband or separated statements from their intended meaning in order to support his already-established views. He made denigrating reports about us to the court, and when we respectfully pointed out the inaccuracies and requested corrections, he refused to do so. He demonstrated no understanding of basic aspects of human psychology, such as the impact on a mother of having grown up abandoned by her own father, and the impetus to project this father absence onto her child in the wake of a divorce she initiated. ****** recommendations in his report were that my husband and I undergo "re-education" in order to no longer believe what is true. He discounted the other party's extensive psychiatric history, lies and manipulations, presentation of appropriate parental discipline as "abuse," and egregious violations of the parenting plan. **** ignored the fact that the parenting time violation and breakdown in a previously happy, healthy father-daughter relationship occurred just before our marriage. He ignored the fact that my husband consistently promoted a loving relationship between the kids and their mom, while she treated their father as both dangerous and completely irrelevant. **** deeply harmed our family. We choose to forgive him and pray for a "******** road" transformation for him.
