November marks the start of Family Court Awareness Month and in this week's episode, Susan Guthrie is joined by Tina Swithin, the driving force behind the movement and the founder of One Mom's Battle, which grew out of her epic 10-year divorce battle with her narcissistic ex-husband.
Family Courts are challenged in so many ways with overworked judges and staff, limited support and resources and a public dealing with high emotion and financial strain. When you add high conflict into the mix, it can truly be a perfect storm for disaster and Tina Swithin know this all too well. Her decade long struggle through the family courts with her divorce and post-divorce custody issues with her narcissistic ex, gave her insights and an understanding of the system, and it's shortcomings and failures, that not many people experience. Tina ultimately was able to represent herself in court and to terminate her exes parental rights, in an effort to protect her children and she is passionate about sharing her wisdom and experience with others. Tina wrote her book, Divorcing a Narcissist: One Mom's Battle, which is now a website, program and community, to help those who need help as they navigate the broken family court system. She also was the driving force behind establishing Family Court Awareness Month, intended to bring awareness to the shortcomings of the family law court system and spark conversation and change for the benefit of the children involved.
In this episode, Tina covers her top questions to ask yourself to prepare to divorce a narcissist and protect your kids - don't miss it!
