About the Author
Christina Mask earned her Masters in Clinical Social Work through one of the top social work graduate programs in the nation and went on to pursue further training in Dr. Minuchin’s Family Systems Therapy program at CHOP. During the custody massacre she and her children endured, she participated in a pioneer website devoted to embracing the many parents and grandparents who came on the show in tears pleading for reasons and solutions to why their grandchildren now said they hated them and for prayers for healing of their families.
Through this horrific journey, the author has displayed her astute clinical acumen and Divine light of truth on this epidemic in the USA. As the author experienced the domestic violence and narcissistic abuse firsthand at the hands of her relentlessly abusive husband while all professionals, family, and friends turned a blind eye, she voraciously researched top professional journals and domestic abuse research, theory, and evidence-based practice to stop the abuse and terrorism of her children by their father and the colluding professionals. She became well too aware of the cottage industry of greed and power which is usurping any semblance of sound ethical legal and mental health practices in family court. Not only has the author emerged from the stewpot of crooks and criminals who care nothing for the welfare of children and families in this rampant epidemic of narcissistic abuse which has resonated throughout our culture today, but lived to tell the story that aches to be revealed.
