Publisher's summary

Prior to stepping onto the battlefield with a Narcissist, it is imperative to know their playbook both forwards and backwards. The behavior of individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder generally defies logic but sadly, their tactics in the Family Court System often fool Judges, Commissioners, Attorneys, Minor's Counsel, Social Workers, Therapists, and even trained Evaluators. Narcissists are the masters of manipulation and projection and are known to launch stealth assaults that will leave their victims in an utter state of confusion and desperation. Victims are often left shattered and without a voice because they feel that no one could possibly believe or understand what they are silently enduring.

Author Tina Swithin understands what it's like to divorce a narcissist. Tina spent over four years on the battlefield of the Family Court System while acting as her own attorney in a desperate attempt to protect her two young daughters. While Tina's first book, Divorcing a Narcissist: One Mom's Battle details Tina's personal journey and court battle, her new book offers solid advice and sanity-saving wisdom for transforming from victim to survivor. Education is power and Divorcing a Narcissist: Advice from the Battlefield is your personal guide and resource for navigating through high-conflict divorce. Receive advice for every stage of the battle from leaving the Narcissist and choosing an attorney to tactical moves and courtroom preparation.

Malignant toxic narcissist

There are no words to express the gratitude I have that this book exists and that Tina shared her story. Education is power - and when the abusive narcissistic is a professor and director at prestigious universities, who scorches the earth during the deadly COVID19 pandemic because his wife physically escaped him to lut an end to the violent abuse, it is a terrorizing isolating and dangerous time. More needs to be done for court systems to understand this silent violent abuse; just as much as more needs to be done about stalking, harassment and technology tampering to hunt and prey on victims. More needs to be done for universities to stop protecting predatory professors, abusive tenured faculty who abuse their power and control and trusted positions.
No know is above the law - yet malignant toxic narcs think and act above the law and are enabled and allowed. Even if a woman miscarried twice due to her husbands violent narkie abuse - this book is still for you because you would have been a mom, and for a short moment - you were a mom.

The true colors of malignant narcissists always come through. Thank you Tina for these reminders and courage. ❤️

Living in this chaos not understanding what was going on has been a nightmare. Reading this book was like reading about my own life. It flipped a switch in my brain that made me realize that there is a way out. It will take time and plenty more pain, but there is life on the other side of this. That gives me hope.

I can't begin to tell you how truly thankful I am to have come across this book! I am in the middle of a custody suite with a individual who counseled me to terminate my pregnancy. I chose not to! The blessing that has come out of that situation is one I will NOT stop fighting to keep out of harm's way. This book has helped to uplift my FAITH during a time when the GOOD LORD knows I need it most. THANK YOU just doesn't seem to be enough! FOR you have aided in being a pillar of strength as I get ready for trial with the N. I am scared beyond words, but refuse to let N know. thus year had been a challenging year as my company closed many locations one of which was mine, so I lost my job, yet this thing called life still requires to be paid for. I have legal fees, college tuition for my oldest and I am the sole provider for our daughter. I have court this week as he has failed to return documents due within 30 days. In addition final trial is a week later. I will loose everything I have , but I will not lose our angel and subject her to the harms of N. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Praying for you and yours and all parents in a situation where N is involved.
Tame care and God Bless!

It's Like An Tina Wrote My Story

I plan on listening to this again!! What a relief to know we aren't alone in this struggle. It felt like the author knew every aspect of what my life is and gave sound advice and stories that as absolutely essential when dealing with the unfolding of everything to come.

What a way to fight thru the storm!

Thank you thank you thank you.

This book is so powerful that the day I started it I looked at the clock & said…”I have one hour to get to the courthouse to observe this judge…let me get to it.”

Prior to that I hadn’t seen my son in 6 month. I had been placed in jail. I had been having seizures my PTSD was so bad.

This book brought me back to life. It gave me direction. It woke up in my spirit that I will fight & I will get my son back.

Thank you Tina.
May God bless you 10 fold for saving our children and our lives.

Very helpful..relatable

I can relate to this piece and the struggles these parents have faced. I'm upset that I can't purchase the author's first book on Audible

So helpful!

This book has been the most helpful to me so far. It provides a little bit of everything, education on narcissism, example stories, how to respond in difficult situations, what you might expect in the custody battle, how to prepare for the narcissistic reactions and most of all hope! There are times when I am feeling defeated and have lost all hope. This book helps bring back my hope. I am so grateful for this book.
