Dr. Monty Weinstein grew up in a wealthy family that made its millions off the grid and most definitely illegally. He was the birth son of a notorious mobster, and hustled his way through his teen-age years packing a pistol that was supplied by his very own father. He was encouraged to show it off while he made the rounds collecting the rent that smaller business owners reluctantly turned over to him as part of his summer job. He was just 18.
He felt powerful, cocky, intimidating and proud, at least for a few weeks. Then he began to feel weary, hopeless and ashamed. Was there more to life then intimidating honest-working folks into handing over their extra cash?
He didn't like the guilt that was settling into his soul. He realized that he was not a natural to this hustling lifestyle. When the guilt started keeping him awake at night, he started to ponder what else might be out there for him.
He was no stranger to dysfunction. He watched his father smack his mother. He grew up thinking that normal families overflowed with verbal abuse, physical abuse, substance abuse and adultery.
He couldn't understand why his mother would cry, why his father didn't show up for days at a time.
Then his father met a sweetie when Monty was just a young lad, and dear old dad disappeared for more than a decade.
Young Monty struggled in school as an adolescent, getting kicked out for brief periods of time, suspended, warned, suspended again, and then transferred to new schools.
Monty learned discipline the hard way at every turn. He repeatedly fought the law, argued with his peers, ditched his Mother's efforts at reform, and forged ahead with the weight of his absent father firmly ensconced on his shoulder.
He boxed as a teenager and found some relief from the chaos and the turmoil. He was somehow able to bumble his way through high school, and once settled into college, found his spark of new beginnings in a philosophy class. Dr. Monty's awakening in philosophy caused him to start investigating his spirituality. He became focused and devoted to strengthening the family unit. He declared war on the violence, bullying and ultimate mayhem of his childhood. Once Dr. Monty broke free from his past, he was able to create a successful, rewarding career as a marriage and family therapist.
It was during his experiences as a marriage and family therapist where he began to realize that some parents going through divorces were being severely alienated by their ex-spouses, and children were being brainwashed and literally turned against the other parent. Parental alienation syndrome is a phenomenon that is calculated and widespread across all races and socioeconomic boundaries. Children are systematically and methodically turned against the other parent. It is an epidemic that is slowly being recognized nationwide. Dr. Monty has made it his business to uncover the truth and create more awareness that this phenomenon is occurring worldwide.
Now approaching 80, Dr. Monty still actively testifies in Court as an expert witness on behalf of disenfranchised parents who have been alienated from their beloved children. He has testified throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, and has literally reunited thousands of children with their alienated parents.
