Lurking- Always

March 30, 2010  He was always lurking.  He would call and talk to the girls mentioning that he was in the Bay Area.  Then, we would pass him going down the street.  It is a terrifying way to live-- constantly on my toes and looking over my shoulder.I was moving from my tiny apartment to my new condo.  I walked down the apartment stairs and into my carport to unlock my double stroller-- I tried to fit it into the trunk of my car but it wouldn't fit.  I rolled it back into the carport and drove to the new condo.  I was gone for one hour.Upon my return, I went into the carport and the stroller was gone.  I knew immediately that it was him.  I knew he had been there.I called the police and filed a report.  They called him- he admitted to taking the stroller.  I was gone one hour.The police told me what they told me every time: We can't help you.  There isn't a permanent court order.  You are still married- it's a domestic issue.They can call it a domestic "issue"...I call it lurking...stalking...and living in fear.###One Mom's Battle: Our mission at One Mom’s Battle is to increase awareness of Cluster B personality disorders (Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder) and their impact upon shared parenting and the Family Court System which includes Judges, CPS workers, Guardian ad Litems (GAL), Parenting Coordinators (PC), Custody Evaluators, therapists and attorneys. Education on Cluster B disorders will allow these professionals to truly act in the best interest of the children.History of One Mom's Battle: In 2009, One Mom’s Battle began with one mother, (Tina Swithin), navigating the choppy waters of a high-conflict divorce in the Family Court System. Since then, it has turned into a grassroots movement reaching the far corners of the Earth. Tina's battle spanned from 2009 - 2014 during which time she acted as her own attorney. Ultimately, Tina was successful in protecting her daughters and her family has enjoyed complete peace since October 2014 when a Family Court commissioner called her ex-husband a "sociopath" and revoked his parenting time in a final custody order.Tina Swithin: Divorcing a narcissist? Tina Swithin's books are available online at Amazon (print, Kindle or audio format). Each year, Tina offers life-changing weekends of camaraderie and healing at the Lemonade Power Retreat.  Tina also offers one-on-one coaching services and a private, secure forum called, The Lemonade Club, for those enduring high-conflict custody battles. [wp_ad_camp_1]
