Yesterday, Theresa Godly’s short film highlighting parental alienation was shown to an audience of supporters who had helped make it happen. Almost 140 people, from crew to financial pledgers, from all over the world attended to watch the 15 minute flick based on her own real life experiences. How did it bear up? In short, incredibly well. With everybody applauding as soon as the credits started rolling, as each of them resonated with elements of the story as it played out.
On a personal level, I could fully relate to the film. I have been at both ends of the scope of parental alienation. It is a psychological abuse of powerplay by one parent in order to gain control and favour of a child over the other parent. I clearly remembered my mother saying bad things about my father when I was young. These things I would discover as falsehood as I reached adolescence. Not to mention having been moved 200 miles away from him at the age of four.
The sweeping score added another level to the already emotionally impacting story and it was very clever to convey all the emotions that come with PA into a 15 minute film along with outstanding raw performances. Shock, disbelief, pain, it was all channelled through the screen into the audiences minds.
#ParentalAlienation is an abuse, yet treated in family courts as a civil matter. What is civil about somebody reprogramming your mind to sever a healthy bond with a parent and their extended family? Countless people take their own lives every year due to this horrendous coercive control and it is civil?
Bullshit! Abuse is abuse, yet the courts see it as exempt because it isn’t a physical abuse. Every years, thousands lose all of their money in trying to combat the alienating parent’s actions. Some cannot get any legal aid at all.
It is with this film and causes like Parental Alienation Awareness that we wish to educate and spread awareness of this dreadful social issue. Theresa is currently raising money via crowdfunder in order to get The Stranger I Love into film festivals everywhere.

As featured in a previous post, a short film by actor Theresa Godly has been made, and the trailer released. Having been alienated from my own father as a child, this project means so much to people that have been through Parental Alienation. It is a form of psychological abuse that effects everybody except the controlling parent. This film highlights the story of Theresa’s own experience, and also stars the amazingly talented Leon Ung. With the film now complete, we are reaching out for donations for submission to various film festivals all over, in order to spread awareness of this terrible social issue. Enjoy the trailer, and please click this link to make a pledge to aid our endeavour https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/tsil-festivals-marketing

The final three days are upon us. I have been running a Kickstarter campaign for my sixth book, Malinkar : Lord Of Enmity, which has been highly successful. If you like to read fantasy adventures, you may just enjoy this yarn as well. It sees the titular character rise to power after discovering his true ancestral line, his corruption and swing towards hatred of the Viridian empire. On top of his, the story is interactive, and a prequel to my third book The Druids Of Pneuma. There are opportunities to get PDFs of both in this campaign so why not check it out today! http://kck.st/3pHWHTS
One of my biggest gripes in the world is child abuse. None moreso than #ParentalAlienation which I recently became an avid fundraiser for. My actor friend Theresa Godly, and director friend Martin Gooch, are making a film together highlighting the horrific effects of this sort of abuse, which shockingly goes unnoticed in the legal field all too much. However, this is a crowdfunder project and there are three quarters funded. There is still 2700 left to raise. If you can help in the form of a pledge, or simply sharing the hell out of it, they would be most grateful, and check out those awesome rewards!

Congratulations to our beautiful English Pointer, Libra, who raised £240 walking over 150km for the #GuideDogs charity this month, and a big thank you to all who donated to her efforts.
Well that’s my About Me page updated. It really only contained half a Jamography so now we have the full SP. If you didn’t know me yet, you will now lol.
I’d also just like to take this opportunity to say I’m taking part in a fundraising event with Libra for Guide Dogs just six days from now, and of course, would be grateful of any pledges or shares to spread awareness. This can be done via my Facebook page. Wishing you all a great day, Jam.
