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.

Absolutely Wonderful Book!

As a therapist, I will be recommending this book to my clients going through a difficult divorce. It offers much to feel a sense of empowerment

The only struggle I had was a lack of pause or any change of voice tone by the narrator, to indicate that the story was now about actual people's examples and not the author's own. I found myself lost for quite awhile until I figured that out. However, the peaceful tone of voice by the reader was perfect and pleasant. I enjoyed this book tremendously, both personally and professionally.

a must read if you are divorcing an N

Great practical advise. amazingly accurate describing the hell it is divorcing an Narcissist. I am so glad that I found this book to give me the tools to deal with the craziness that is now very predictable. its nice knowing that I'm not crazy after all and that other people have made it through the fire and their kids turned out fine.

confirmation!

this book was a great confirmation to what our family has been experiencing for the last few years.
I wouldn't call it uplifting, but I would say it's the most important book I have read in quite a while.
i would suggest reading this book sooner, rather than later. I have already suggested it to another 'grandmother type' whose son is also dealing with our same issues.
please don't forget that this topic is not just about males....

she told almost my story

she tells her story and you will understand it if you know a narcissist. Smart people see the red flags and keep going. Hopefully there is change in the court system not only for divorcing parents. there is a lot of damage done without children too. yes, she repeats herself a lot. I did not care

voice4nAngel

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!

Mouth Noise 😣

If you are bothered by microphone/mouth noise I would purchase the physical copy. The narrator is flat and lacks emotion. I couldn’t finish the audiobook.

Puzzle Solved

This book validated that I'm not crazy. I started coming out of the fog a couple of years ago. I started working on myself and researching divorcing on little to no funds, and came upon this book. It was like a light coming on, that there were names for these behaviors was mind blowing. Thank you, I don't feel so alone anymore.
