    80: Spaces: Recent X Spaces About My Case
    Sep 14 2025
    I started doing short X Spaces, not in the usual way with guests, but as a short voice clips with just me. A full description of why is here:

    https://x.com/FairParentingUK/status/1949541228217016589

    I feel the other parent will ultimately destroy me. I don't know why that is but it is clearly her aim and for 7 years I have lived in fear of her.

    She has abandoned her child and hasn't even called her since December - also no birthday cards, Christmas cards, etc.

    She has also taken my family's house and hired an ex-soldier, taken our passports and left us near a war zone - when we had an agreement to parent and she has an open offer to revisit that or try mediation again.

    All actions for 7 years have been aggressive for no reason. I believe most people would be fairly terrified.

    Whatever happens to me, I want the public and my child, when she grows up, to hear what happened in real-time. I want the truth front and centre.

    The clips are recorded quickly and are not as slick or as high quality in audio terms as the podcast normally is but they form a real-time record of things. They are all available on my X account and friends are posting them elsewhere in case my X account disappears.

  • 76: Replay: Suicide - Collin Hughes Discusses Suicide And Suicide Prevention

    76: Replay: Suicide - Collin Hughes Discusses Suicide And Suicide Prevention
    Jul 20 2025
    This is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast. Today we look back at my discussion with Collin Hughes on suicide and suicide prevention.

    It originally aired as episode 23 on 9/7/2023 and here are the show notes from that episode:

    In today's episode we are going to discuss suicide.

    I want to take a moment to talk about that before we introduce our guest who has kindly agreed to join us.

    In episode 15 we spoke with Lawrence Sprung about his personal experience with suicide and also his work with The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Please revisit it if you are in crisis. The show notes also contain links to help.

    Suicide is a topic we feature on this podcast because of its link to parental alienation, family court proceedings, legal abuse, etc.

    The result of the extreme trauma caused, sometimes maliciously and for no reason, and sometimes by people who call themselves professionals, can cause suicide in parents and children.

    Today’s guest is Collin Hughes. I heard his story a few months ago and I was moved by it.

    I hope this episode will reach those listeners going through tough times or listeners who know someone who is.

    Collin is a former pro-rodeo athlete, a former airline pilot and is now a voice actor. That’s a pretty interesting sounding trio of careers.

    However in 2022 Collin’s 15 year old granddaughter, Evangelina, died by suicide.

    Collin has a moving website (https://stopsuicide.life). He also speaks widely on the subject of suicide to raise awareness and I am very grateful he agreed to join us.

    During the conversation Collin spoke about the QPR Institute who talk about the 'Question. Persuade. Refer' approach to suicide prevention. Their website is https://qprinstitute.com

    73: Replay: Suicide - Lawrence Sprung Discusses The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
    Jun 8 2025
    This is an episode from the Replay series in which we look back at past episodes for those new to the podcast.

    Today we look back at my discussion with Lawrence Sprung, which was originally published as episode 15, on 19th March 2023.

    I wanted to do some shows on how to cope with abuse and alienation. In recent episodes began that by discussing trauma and meditation. Today we talk about suicide and suicide prevention.

    The websites findahelpline.com and www.suicide.org have links to helplines and suicide prevention links in many countries. Please take a look if you are suffering or suicidal or you are concerned for someone else.

    Our children need us to stay around for them, whether we are seeing them now or whether we are being alienated and will see them when they are older.

    Children also die by suicide and as a society we need to improve prevention.

    Our guest today is Lawrence Sprung. He lives in New York and is the founder of wealth management company Mitlin Financial Inc.

    He is an Investopedia Top Ten Advisor for 2022, he hosts the Mitlin Money Mindset™ podcast and he spent over 12 years on the National Board for The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

    In 2004 Lawrence lost his brother-in-law Keith to suicide.

    He reacted by turning his sadness into a mission to raise awareness for mental health. He has become a resource for the community and he has helped many parents seeking help for their children.

    Lawrence has also raised over $1.5 million for the Keith Milano Memorial Fund charity.

    We learn about Lawrence’s story, his work improving financial literacy for parents and children and his work with The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

    Suicide Prevention Links Around the World

    These websites have links to helplines and suicide prevention links in many countries. They also have other information for people suffering. Please take a look if you are suffering or suicidal or concerned for someone else:
