Linda, what were your AI prompts for that photo? “Edit my photo to make me 25 years younger, look friendly, and be weirdly skinny?”

I strongly suggest you stop slandering Tina Swithin before you end up with a lawsuit on your hands. Oh wait! You LOVE lawsuits! More opportunity to cause damage, get sadistic feed, and make money!

Linda is responsible for massive amounts of trauma in children who are subjected to her “therapeutic vacations.” There is no science. Every credible medical association in the United States and the world - down to the United Nations- have denounced the concept of “alienation” and everything Linda espouses. The facts speak for themselves. Those who continue to make money off the concept perpetuate the lies. Always follow the money.

The AI Prompts jab is funny. It's a little mean but still funny.

I tried to extend an olive branch to Linda by re-publishing her comment on Tina. The hope is that it will start a dialogue. I still don't have answers to my questions:

A) Why does parental alienation have a medical/clinical basis, and what is it? Opponents say PA isn’t in the DSM, but at least five of the underlying conditions defining PA are.

B) Why are those who deny PA are mistaken? Albert Einstein said in his letters that he was “alienated” from his son based on his ex-wife’s actions. Einstein is a pretty good spokesperson for your cause.

C) How is PA medically/clinically diagnosed?

D) How does PA as a clinical condition differ from PA as a legal doctrine?

E) What is reunification therapy, and how does it affect/treat PA?

F) What is your / Turning Points methodology for treatment?

G) What is your response to those who claim reunification therapy is a form of coercive control and child abuse?

Olive branch for what?

To explain her position. She has flatly refused. So has Dr. Jennifer Jill Harmon.

That's Linda Gottlieb's opinion. I'd love to hear from Tina Swithin. I reached out.

I stand with Tina. My child was forced into reunification therapy. It did absolutely nothing to help. It is emotionally damaging to everyone involved. There is no focus on poor parenting skills that lead to the estrangement. Linda should be investigated and held to consequences . We thankfully did not get stuck going to one of Linda's camps. Intervention to the practice of inducing Stockholm syndrome in many cases are needed. These are not material possessions. Children are human beings. There is no focus on how the conflict came about in my experience. The parental alienation concept is used to blame the other parent ( mostly women) for the conflict. These children are growing up with a mistrust of the legal system and mental health profession. I have yet to hear a successful story were a family was helped. It's an excuse to transfer custody. The entire " alienaton industry" has engaged in the deflimation of character of women. Gatekeeper liar, gold diggers, malicious mommy alienator. Munchousen by proxy. There is tons of money involved in this industry. The investigation needs to be in unrecognized hypocritical theories and unregulated practice. Attacking Tina is a deflection from the alienation industry. Go to court and report anything concerning and the alienaton defense is the go to. Until 18 these children are silenced and many forced against their will. Alienation is rare. The AFCC doesn't bother to differentiate between estrangement and alienation. Evidence is often surpresed in family court. Reunification is ordered. This is a billion dollar industry and Linda is made lots of money. I'm sure anyone like Tina and thousands of people ( mostly women) are attacked or questioning for standing up. Enough is enough ban the unrecognized and unregulated practice of reunification/ parental alienation. Many times the expense of the so called therapy and legal fees are used to financially ambush the other party.

Let’s remember that 1 in 4 girls experience csa and half the time the perpetrator is a Father. The cult of the AFCC parental alienation industry is responsible for more than 60,000 children being transferred into the custody of abusers each year in the US alone. Children who disclose csa are never believed even though less than 2% of allegations are false. Read this article for a quick take on the cult of parental alienation. We love you Tina Swithin! You are a hero.
