DIVORCING A NARCISSIST?
Divorcing a narcissist or a high conflict individual? You've come to the right place - here you will find books, resources, support and online courses to help you navigate this difficult journey.
Welcome to One Mom’s Battle - my name is Tina Swithin. I first walked into the family court system in 2009. Like many, I believed that all I had to do was tell the truth…and that child safety would be prioritized. Instead, I discovered that parental rights trump child safety and that the family court system is like the wild west. I also discovered that the courts are ill-equipped and uneducated on high conflict custody battles and divorce. They believe that it "takes two to tango," which is the furthest thing from the truth. The most prevalent dynamic is an individual trying to maintain power and control against a parent desperate to protect their children.
Forced to act as my own attorney, I spent almost a decade fighting to protect my children and against all odds, I prevailed. I was able to secure permanent, professionally supervised visits and eventually, a termination of parental rights. I have dedicated my life to advocating for family court reform, testifying at legislative hearings and working to educate the court system on post separation abuse which is simply a continuum of domestic violence; it's about power and control.

One Mom’s Battle is the intersection of narcissistic abuse and child custody issues. The mission at One Mom’s Battle is to raise awareness and educate family court professionals on post separation abuse as it relates to co-parenting and the family court system (divorce, paternity and child custody battles). Education on high-conflict individuals and post separation abuse will allow family court professionals (Judges, Commissioners, Magistrates, CPS workers, Guardian ad Litems (GAL), Parenting Coordinators (PC), Custody Evaluators, therapists and attorneys) to recognize the abusive dynamics that play out in the family court system so they can make decisions that are in the best interest of children.
In 2009, One Mom’s Battle (OMB) began with one mother, Tina Swithin, navigating a high-conflict divorce in the California Family Court System in pro se (self-represented). Against all odds, Tina successfully protected her daughters - she refused to accept that 50-50 custody was her destiny or, in the best interest of her children. She spent countless hours sitting in court rooms and learning the system, and studying the professionals. She created an intricate documentation system and learned to see things through a lens of strategy versus emotion. Tina has now dedicated her life to teaching others everything she learned, and is advocating for change through Kayden's Law.
What is:
Post Separation Abuse
“You no longer need to go through the ordeal of divorcing a narcissist alone…
Through this battle, Tina Swithin is a beacon of clarity. You will realize that you are not alone, you are not crazy, and someday you will start to whisper “thank you” to the darkness… thank you to the pain, the fear the struggle even thank you to the narcissist ….because in the darkness you will find light you never knew you had inside your heart, strength you never imagined.”
