Joint Custody with a Jerk

March 31, 2022 By Kelly Myers

It’s a fact that parenting is hard enough in a family where two parents love and respect each other… After divorce, when the respect has diminished and the love has often turned to intense dislike, co-parenting can be nearly impossible, driving one or both parents to the brink of insanity. Joint Custody with a Jerk offers many proven communication techniques that help you deal with your difficult ex-husband or ex-wife. By outlining common problems and teaching tools to examine your own role in these sticky situations, this book conveys strategies for effective mediation that are easy to apply, sensible, timely and innovative.

This revised edition of a bestselling classic sheds light on how today’s digital forms of communication can both hurt and help in custody conflicts, and offers updated information throughout that brings age-old issues into the present day.

Divorcing a Narcissist, One Mom’s Battle

March 31, 2022 By Kelly Myers

At the age of 26, Tina Swithin was swept off her feet by a modern-day Prince Charming. Married just one year later, Tina soon discovered that there was something seriously wrong with her fairy tale. The marriage was filled with lies, deception, fraud, and many tears. Tina was left in an utter state of confusion. This wasn’t the man that she married – was it?

Tina first heard the term narcissistic personality disorder from her therapist in 2008 but quickly dismissed the notion that something could be wrong with her husband. It took several years for Tina to begin researching the disorder, and suddenly the past 10 years of her life made complete sense. Tina soon discovered that there is only one thing more difficult than being married to a narcissist, and that is divorcing a narcissist.

Tina’s blog, One Mom’s Battle, was created in 2011 to document her struggles with divorcing a narcissist in the California Family Court System. Tina’s blog gained international attention and a quarter of a million page views in its first year while appearing on The Huffington Post, Examiner.com, Washington Times and Yahoo.com. Tina’s blog has become a support system and a lifeline for thousands of women across the world, and her new book, Divorcing a Narcissist, will take that support system to the next level.

In her book, Tina explains how a smart, independent woman can fall prey to a narcissistic man. Tina discusses the red-flag reflections that she chose to ignore while dating and during the marriage. Tina acted as her own attorney in a divorce that can only be described as hell on Earth, and she will share the strategies that helped her to navigate through this battle while maintaining her sanity and sense of humor.

Divorcing a Narcissist, Rebuilding After the Storm

March 31, 2022 By Kelly Myers

Tina Swithin’s life was hit by a devastating storm in 2009. Tina had recently heard the words narcissistic personality disorder used to describe her then-husband by a therapist, yet she had no real understanding of how this disorder would turn her life upside down during a custody battle that spanned six years. In less than a year, Tina lost her home, businesses, cars, worldly possessions, and marriage. In one fell swoop, everything was gone.

In family court, Tina acted as her own attorney and finally, in 2014, secured peace and safety for her young daughters. A true “lemon to lemonade” story, Tina has rebuilt her life and thrives in the aftermath of what threatened to destroy her. Tina has found solace in sharing her internationally recognized story with others in her series, Divorcing a Narcissist. She has dedicated her life to advocacy and consulting with others facing the same battles.

In her new book, Rebuilding After the Storm, Tina takes her listeners through the steps to rebuild their lives and thrive postnarcissist. Dr. Craig Malkin, psychology instructor at Harvard Medical School, states, “If you need to start over, this is the woman you want holding your hand through the process.”
