I am taking the MMPI-2, I heard there are 15 questions where they try to catch you lying.   That is quite a few questions.   anyone know what those specific questions might be?  


I know one question is   - "I sometimes lie"  True / False.

Of course all people lie once in a while.   I am religious and have certain ideals and standards I try to live by, and I suppose if I answered truthfully on some, I am wondering if it might come out that I am lying, depending on what those questions are.  

Just curious.

I have my answer sheet as I took the test.   I'd like to produce raw data and scale scores, not just qualitative interpretation.

Can anyone here do that?  I think you just need answer keys maybe.

Leave me your email perhaps, and I can compensate what is fair.

Hi,

I am told that to assess bonding with my kids, the psychologist will have me do a series of activities or exercises with my kids, and see how I do.

Any idea of what they will have me do?

My wife has had recurring suicidal thoughts.  she has borderline traits, not sure if she is one yet, maybe.

I know they say women always get custody.   My wife does have a good bond with the children, and she is actually able and productive.  But she has something mentally wrong that I am not sure how to explain.  

Not sure if her suicidal thoughts and tendencies will be a serious issue against her.   I am kind of hoping it is so it will help me.   But, I know that there are always a lot of factors involved.  

She will try to blame me and say I was mean to her.  But in fact, she was suicidal before we married.   I was sometimes resentful of her when I saw that she had so many problems, so I know because I am not perfect, I did not help her issues.  

My proof is multiple written forms of these tendencies she has documented, emails, journal, etc....   Plus what I've seen.  She was sexually assualted.  I know that sometimes messes women up.  

Hi, I saw a lot of good posts by "aussie" from the past.   looks like he does not come here much anymore?  

If you see my post please email me at [email protected]  It is rather important

I really appreciate it.

I have 2 children and am going through a divorce.   My kids show signs of alienation toward me and disfavor.  

My wife no doubt has psychopathology issues.  

for my own knowledge, what personality disorder / or mental illness is usually behind parental alienation in a spouse?    we are going to get evaluated soon.

I do have some advice for you.   But because I so shocked and horrified by your post, I have some questions first.

Your wife sounds like an alienator to the extreme.   Did you have an evaluation done and is she o.k. mentally?

What state do you live in?  Illinois is tough on this type of alientation, but not all states are.  Depending on what kind of evidence and documentation you have, she could lose custody for this behavior.

My advice is this.   Don't be passive or too permissive with your kids on allowing them freedom to do what they want.   I know they are older and it is probably hard to control the situation, but don't give up.  Make fun events or whatever you have to do to get things going so they are coming over voluntarily.  Then, don't give up.  Giving them permission allows them to just be lazy about it.

My additional advice is research Parental Alienation.  Look for the signs and see how your case applies.   Then document the signs that you have experienced.  You may need it.

Next, get a lawyer and have a motion for court appointed counseling to repair your relationship with the children.  Use your evidence that they have been alienated.  You will be able to meet with your kids and a counselor and work it out.  There might be a lot of things they want to say but can't.    You are their father, they love you for sure, but there is an obvious problem.  

Get to the bottom of it.

Hi,
I am having my first meeting with the GAL on Friday.  Do you guys have any advice?

It sounds like a recorded conversation is not admissible in court right?

But it sounds like some people use them for the Guardian attorney, any other times that they are used?   Can they be used for the psychologists?

I live in illinois.   Maybe the law varies from state to state I don't know.
