While We Wait on the Court's Decision...New information regarding the alleged child abuse from the father has come to light, causing the judge to delay his order enforcing the father's custody of Ty and Brynlee Larson. While we wait on the results, we return to our episode from earlier this year to discuss the ins and outs of the case while we're still on our hiatus.Alienation in UtahHigh-conflict situations often include extreme behaviors and the case we'll discuss in this episode is a perfect example of extreme behaviors. In the U.S. state of Utah, a 15-year-old boy released a TikTok video detailing his family's high-conflict drama. According to the video, he had barricaded himself along with his 12-year-old sister inside a room at their mother's house in order to avoid a judge's order to reunite with their allegedly abusive father. His videos detailing this harrowing and dramatic experience have made him TikTok famous, at the very least. The issue in many (most) alienation cases is that the courts don't know who to believe. Is mom lying? Is dad lying? Are the kids lying? It's a mess for the courts to identify what's happening and a tragedy for all involved.In today's episode, Megan lists the case details and asks you, the listener, to decide who is lying and who is telling the truth. Then, Bill provides an analysis of the case and how we can use a structured approach to understanding what's going on, or at least make a best attempt at figuring it out.Links & Other Notes: RELATED NEWS ARTICLES Updated ProPublica article ProPublica article New York Post article COURSESHigh-Conflict Co-Parenting Online Course (coaching optional) BOOKS BIFF for Co-Parent Communication: Your Guide to Difficult Texts, Emails, and Social Media Posts Don't Alienate the Kids ARTICLES Alienation Update High Conflict Divorce and Separations Basics (audios) Our website: https://www.highconflictinstitute.com/ Submit a Question for Bill and Megan All of our books can be found in our online store or anywhere books are sold, including as e-books.

Erasing Family. In this age of cancellation, it's not so rare. In the divorce and child custody (family court) world, cancellation has been a “thing” for a long time. Cancellation of the child's other parent and even extended family is common. In this episode, Bill and Megan are joined by Ginger Gentile, director of the Erasing Family documentary. Erasing Family follows young adults fighting to reunite with their broken families. Part emotional roller coaster, part investigative exposé, the film “follows the money” to expose why loving moms and dads are erased from their kid's lives by divorce. Bill and Megan will talk with Ginger about the documentary and discuss: why kids are often unaware they are alienated from a parent what should a parent say and do when their child says they never want to see them again what to do when a child refuses all contact with a parent, if anything top mistakes a parent makes when reuniting with a parent how long it can take to reunite - whether it's a process or can it be resolved in a day the patterns that all families who reunite follow biggest changes in alienation in the last decade self-care in alienation listener questions focused on: getting through to the other parent just how damaging their behavior is on the kids; and protecting them from other parents behavior without also engaging in alienation how to handle other family members who have been pulled into the conflict Links & Other Notes GINGER GENTILE'S WEBSITE & DOCUMENTARYErasingFamily.Org BOOKS Don't Alienate the Kids BIFF for Communication: Your Guide to Difficult Texts, Emails and Social Media Posts PROGRAMS/COURSESNew Ways for Families for Parents & Children Our website at High Conflict Institute: https://www.highconflictinstitute.com/Submit a Question for Bill and MeganAll of our books can be found in our online store or anywhere books are sold, including as e-books.You can also find these show notes at our site as well.Note: We are not diagnosing anyone in our discussions, merely discussing patterns of behavior.

For centuries, midrash has helped reconcile problematic, troubling, and hurtful texts by understanding them in a new light. In this lecture, Rabbi Avi Killip studies modern women's midrash from the book “Dirshuni” that offers one approach to hearing, and maybe even healing from our most difficult texts. That is the power of midrash. This lecture was originally delivered as part of Hadar's Summer Learning Retreat in June 2021.

This is the third and final part of our series on conditional immortality with Warren Prestidge.    Although most Christians today believe hell is a place where the dammed suffer eternal conscious torment, the bible teaches that the lost will perish.  For example, the most famous verse in the bible says, “For God so loved Read more about 406 Difficult Texts for Annihilationism?

 Last time Warren Prestidge walked us through a case for conditional immortality.  Today, we’ll delve into some of the key texts that proponents of natural immortality employ to make their case, including these four texts: Luke 23.43; John 14.2-3; 2 Corinthians 5.8; and Philippians 1.23.  In each case, Prestidge appeals to the context of the Read more about 405 Difficult Texts about the Intermediate State (Warren Prestige)[…]

This is the third part of the series "Holy Spirit." In this sermon, we try to tackle some difficult texts that are related to the Holy Spirit.

On this special episode of The Comics Alternative, the Two Guys with PhDs bring you a recording of the “Teaching Difficult Texts” panel that was held at HeroesCon a couple of weeks ago. One of the Two Guys, Andy, was a participant on this panel. Joining him in the discussion were Mike Kobre from Queens University and Dana Hayward from HarperCollins. Shawn Daughhetee served as the panel moderator. It's an engaging panel, focusing on teaching comics and methodological approaches to using controversial texts in the classroom. The panelists touch upon such topics as racial stereotypes, the visualization of violence, and sexual explicitness. This panel recording originally appeared on The Dollar Bin podcast. A very special thanks to Adam Daughhetee and the rest of the Dollar Bin crew for making this recording at the con, and for allowing The Comics Alternative share it with its listeners.

With the increased spotlight on teaching controversial material in schools we thought it would be fun to discuss methods and approaches for teaching difficult comics and graphic novels. Planned topics include: racial stereotypes, violence, and sexuality. That being said, Parental Guidance is suggested as the conversation may steer toward mature content. Panelists include Mike Kobre (Queens University), Andy Kunka (USC), Dana Hayward (HarperCollins Publishers) and moderator Shawn Daughhetee (The School of Hard Knocks).
