In today's episode we are going to discuss the destructive power of gaslighting- and how it can tear apart families. Our special guest is Debbie Griffiths who relates her tale of gaslighting, trauma for her and her family, and her healing process, along with details of her forthcoming novel which you will want to buy. It is out soon! 

What is Gaslighting?

Gaslighting is the psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, the uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator

Welcome to The Aftermath. A podcast about divorce, custody battles, family trauma, and the healing thereafter. Today you will meet two warriors in the fight against the injustice of broken families.

You will meet Dr. G. Mick Smith, the author of BURNING AMERICA- a powerful book about a fight to correct the injustices of child custody. You will meet Kindra Riber, a legislative advocate changing the landscape of parental alienation. Riber is leading legislative reform on equalizing custody laws.

Together you will get the tools you need to fight the injustices of divorce, break-ups, child custody, and family trauma. Smith and Riber will deliver the experts and inspiration to you weekly so you will start the process of healing. The Aftermath is a safe community of healing and stories of survival. Divorce and family trauma are hard- together we will lock arms and create a coalition of wives, husbands, partners and parents who want to heal fractured families.

Please reach out if you would like to contribute to the stories we are covering. You are not alone. Divorce, Custody Battles, Parental Alienation and Family Drama is a bitter pill to swallow. Together we are stronger.

In this episode, we are going to talk about WHY we need to talk about divorce, custody issues, and family trauma. We need to lock arms, especially if you are struggling through a divorce or high-conflict custody battle. The Aftermath hosts, Kindra Riber and Mick Smith talk about their challenging situations. They are making their pain their purpose.

Mick Smith, the author of Burning America, was heartbroken and confused when his wife started playing a custody game with him. His story, is one of the challenges, fighting the courts and proving that his child needed the love and guidance of both parents.

Kindra Riber, a legislative advocate has fought for her children for over 3 years- amounting in over $120,000 of debt. She continues to fight for her sons and is taking this monumental test and making it her testimony. In fact, she was falsely accused of child abuse and continues to navigate her way through legal woes.

Both Riber and Smith understand the mental tolls it is taking on families--and especially the children. It is important that we voice our truth and work with legislative reformers to make a difference in the family courts. It is important that all competent parents have free access to their children for better development.

The hate, sorrow, and frustration that results from a high-conflict divorce or separation hurts our children the most. The hosts are fighting the battle to bring justice to broken families and championing for hurt children. You will understand the difference between custody and visitation and why you need to keep fighting! You are not alone!
