My perspective on the documentary, The Nightmare Upstairs: What Happened to Ty and Bryn?

-Glenn

A law enforcement veteran with 36 years of perspective on The Nightmare Upstairs documentary and the troubling questions it left unanswered.

I know… I’m tardy with this update. The problem’s been that I find it difficult to talk about Tina’s health on an open channel. That said, I also know she’s always been open with her OMB family about the realities she faces. That’s a lot of reviewing my internal dialog to tell you that she is having good days and bad days, that things are relatively stable, and that we are working on it. All the support from this community helps. Thank You!

The insurance issue has been addressed. Lots of work behind the scenes on that one, and lots of support to keep OMB moving forward. Thank You Again!

Finally, our reaction to The Nightmare Upstairs documentary.

Disappointed.

Tina wrote a very eloquent blog on the subject. (Linked)

I’m writing one too. It’s currently just a string of expletives and pointed adjectives. I’ll let you know when my opinions become publishable. I know somewhere in there is a point of view you might find interesting. For now, I’ll leave you with the fact that I thought it should have been titled - The nightmare Upstairs: Brent’s mom’s edit.

After 15 years in family court advocacy, Tina Swithin weighs in on Hulu’s Nightmare Upstairs documentary and the story it should have told.

This is a tough one.
OMB was built on a foundation of transparency, truth, and a shared experience. Tina has always incorporated an intrinsic vulnerability into her approach to... everything. I reminded her of this as we discussed how to proceed. In the linked blog, Tina continues that approach as she lays out a tough decision for the OMB community.

- With heartfelt appreciation, Glenn

Update from Glenn at 10:00pm Pacific:
The immediate response has raised about half of the needed funds. Tina is currently processing the magnitude of the support (I told her this would happen...) Not only does it look like we'll be able to move forward, I think she will sleep well tonight. I will be up early tomorrow and once the goal is reached I will update.

Update from Glenn- Sunday at 5:45 am Pacific: We have raised the funds needed (went over the goal) and will be in touch with each person who donated after our goal was reached to discuss refunds.

Thank 🫵OMB

One Mom's Battle may be forced to close. Tina Swithin explains how coordinated efforts to silence survivors have brought this platform to a crossroads, and what you can do.

WOW, WOW, WOW! This is BIG, BIG, BIG!

This case touched Tina’s heart. She is still passionate about it.

To be clear, we haven’t seen The Nightmare Upstairs: What Happened to Ty and Bryn? and, unfortunately, the trailer suggests it’s going to build and fan controversy. From our perspective the truth should be self-evident. I hope they get it right for Ty and Bryn’s sake. We’ll see along with the rest of the OMB community Tuesday, May 19, on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

Undoubtedly, there will be comments and discussion about it here. Which brings me to more big news.

After 36+ years as a Park Ranger, they’re taking my badge from me and putting my guns in the ground because I’m knocking on retirement’s door. (Eric Clapton/GnR reference… I apologize if my style is a little different than Tina’s...)

This will give me more time for updating you about Tina’s health, she is getting an IV treatment today, the future of OMB as we navigate some legal and logistical challenges, and other relevant topics like The Nightmare Upstairs: What Happened to Ty and Bryn?

Stay tuned - Glenn

The new Hulu docuseries 'The Nightmare Upstairs: What Happened to Ty and Bryn?' goes inside a family dispute over sexual abuse allegations.

For all the OMB Moms on this Mother's Day.

Tina posted a blog today on the One Mom's Battle website.

Thoughts of flowers for all of you - Glenn

Here is the link:

Mother's Day is not a Hallmark holiday for everyone. For survivors of domestic abuse, post-separation abuse, and family court failures, this day carries grief, anger, and layers that most of the world doesn't see.

To the One Mom’s Battle community,

Five days ago, I shared that we were pressing pause. Today, I need to say something more final.

I am closing down the One Mom’s Battle social media platforms…Facebook…Instagram….TikTok.

These public spaces that have been woven into the fabric of my life - seven days a week, for 15 years.

I’m heartbroken.

Writing these words feels surreal.

This community has meant more to me than I have language for. It was never just a page. It was never just content. It is a community and a family. It was late night messages from mothers who were terrified. It was shared tears. Shared strength. It was watching strangers become sisters…witnessing children being protected in real time.

It was purpose.

Over the past two and a half years, the attacks have escalated in ways that have crossed from online hostility into real world danger. There have been threats. Doxxing. Coordinated intimidation. Smear campaigns.

I am in the middle of a serious flare with my disease, and on Friday my doctor looked at me and said, “Shut everything down.”

Not slow down.

Not delegate.

Shut it down.

My body has made it clear that I cannot continue to carry this level of stress. My mobility has been affected. I recently fell. I am experiencing symptoms that I cannot dismiss.

For fifteen years, I led with transparency and vulnerability because I believed it helped others feel less alone. That visibility no longer feels safe.

This decision feels like a profound loss.

There is grief. Anger. Fear. Exhaustion. Sadness. A sense of something being ripped away before I was ready. I am processing many emotions, including the painful feeling that I am letting this community down.

I am protecting my health, my family, and my safety.

Here is what will remain:

The private groups will stay open, though we are not accepting new members while we strengthen safety measures.

The website will remain live at www.onemomsbattle.com.

I will continue writing on the blog. Writing has always been how I process and how I heal - you can find it on the website and even subscribe by clicking on one of the recent blogs. 

I will continue hosting retreats.

I will continue teaching my courses.

I will continue writing books.

I will continue sending newsletters. You can subscribe by going to the website and scrolling to the bottom, signing up for “Lemonade Wisdom.”

I will no longer be public facing, I will no longer be on social media. My husband now has full control of social media and he will periodically monitor comments as things wind down and come to a complete close. 

Nothing can undo what we’ve collectively built here.

The impact was real.

This community changed me. It strengthened me. It carried me at times when I did not think I could stand on my own.

Thank you for trusting me with your stories.

Thank you for walking beside me.

Thank you for the grace you have extended to me as I navigate this painful transition.

I am forever grateful.

In solidarity,

Tina

Edited to provide clarification:

This page will remain up as a resource for those searching for information and guidance. There will be no new postings and I (Glenn) will be monitoring comments but we will not be responding. We encouraged the OMB community to help each other and continue to use the page for support.

Social media is where we connect. My newsletter is where I can speak more directly, without fighting an algorithm or squeezing complex topics into a caption.

To the One Mom’s Battle (OMB) community,

This is an incredibly difficult post to write: we are pushing pause on OMB.

This could be for a month, or it could be indefinite. I know better than to make extreme decisions when I am under duress, so I am calling this what it is: a pause, for my mental and physical health - and for my safety.

My husband will be taking over to monitor comments - but there will be no more engagement and we will not be posting anything new.

I pride myself on being strong and resilient. I have been through more than my fair share of adversity. My life started in the family court system. What I went through protecting my daughters was institutional betrayal, and it was shameful.

For the past 15 years, what I have witnessed through your stories and your cases has fueled me. It has been an honor to walk alongside so many of you. It is humbling to know that for some, I have played even a small role in helping you protect your children.

Things are getting worse year after year. I am genuinely afraid for future generations.

The attacks I have experienced over the past 2+ years have been inhumane. Things have escalated to an extreme level over the past six months. Exposing systems and individuals who turn children into revenue streams is becoming more and more dangerous.

The father’s rights movement has partnered with the alienation industry, and many of these people are convinced I have far more power than I do. They believe I am changing laws with a magic wand. I wish I had the power they think I have. I do not.

Today, I met with my neurologist, and she told me to go home and shut everything down. The toll this has taken on my health is extreme. This is no longer a safe place for me to be.

This is also no longer a safe place for many of our community members. People have infiltrated what was meant to be a safe space. I have faced relentless harassment, death threats, and threatening emails.

Our private groups will remain open and active however, we are not accepting new members at this time. I need a better method of screening to ensure safety for those who are currently in the group, and for anyone who joins in the future.

For now, our website will remain open: www.onemomsbattle.com 

If you would like to stay connected, I will do my best to send updates through my email list (link in comments).

For now, I need to step away completely from our social media channels.

Thank you for understanding. Thank you for being here. Please take care of yourselves and each other.

When my daughters were little, we made our first deck of affirmation cards by hand. They were simple, imperfect, and deeply meaningful. Every day we would pull a card, read it out loud, and talk about what it meant. Sometimes it led to laughter. Sometimes it opened a door to emotions they did not have words for yet. What mattered most was the ritual. It helped them feel grounded. It helped them feel seen.

Years later, the three of us created a full deck together, inspired by those early handmade cards. This set is designed to help kids build self worth, practice boundaries, strengthen communication, and trust their intuition. It also gently introduces red flag awareness in a way that is age appropriate and empowering.

There are 52 cards, so it is easy to make it a daily practice, or to pull one when your child is having a hard moment.

Our affirmation cards are available on Amazon for $11.99.
