This is a heartbreaking read. I’m ugly crying now that I’ve gotten through it. I wish people heard these stories before deciding Gottlieb is a trustworthy person. She simply is not.

Senate Testimony from San Diego resident, Mia, age 16. Mia is a survivor of Linda Gottlieb’s reunification camp, Turning Points for Families: “The way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the state of being connected.” That’s the definition of a relationship.

Would anyone be interested in a Virtual Art Day?

Lexi loves art and frequently would make art in her spare time. I felt like it would be a great way to show the support she's gathered, and one day hopefully she'll be able to see it and just know how much she was loved during this time.
It would also be a time designated to pray for her safety as a whole group.

We are accepting submissions from parents whose children have been sent to reunification camps. To date, we have received the most information on Turning Points for Families and Family Bridges. The law firm that we are working with is meeting with leading experts around the country, and collaborating with other attorneys to ensure that we have a very strong case. I hope to be able to share more information next month.



In addition to Turning Points for Families and Family Bridges, we have also received submissions for the following reunification camps:



· Overcoming Barriers

· Transitioning Families

· High Road to Reunification

· Intensive Therapy by Lisa Rothfuss

· Lynn Steinberg

I recently connected with a bright, brave, articulate young lady, by the name of Mia (age 16)- she has shared the horrors that she and her 14-year old sister have experienced since last fall when they were sent to Linda Gottlieb’s reunification camp, Turning Points for Families. This was one of several journal entries Mia made during her time there.

Each day, Mia wrote down quotes from Linda in her journal- and has given us permission to share with the hope that other children will be protected and, the practices of reunification camp leaders will be exposed.

It is truly disturbing to read Linda Gottlieb’s actual words. She is using the pain that these young ladies were experiencing (after being ripped away from their mother and flown from California to New York) to manipulate and coerce them into compliance.

If these programs are so successful as Linda claims (she boasts of a 96% success rate), why are these young ladies at risk of being sent back for a second time?

Why have they still not been allowed to see their mother?

“One day, you'll look back and thank yourself for not giving up.”

Somehow there’s a lot of conflict with the whole but the truth needs to be out there. Prayers need to be said. I will not be intimidated into taking down this page.

04/23/2023

Everyday I wish I had an update and could say that Lexi is finally home safe. However, today that is still not the case unfortunately.

I continue to ask everyone to pray for Lexi and her safety. To pray for her whole family. To pray for truth to be brought to life. From what I have seen in the videos shared of her and what I’ve gathered, she would want us to continue in prayer and trust that God will use this all somehow for good.

I chose to share this picture of crosses from Lithuania because I found it encouraging. One cross seems lonely, all of these make an impression and give a sense of community. There is strength in prayer and numbers and that’s what I saw with this picture.

I’m thankful these videos are coming to light. There’s a reason these camps need to come to light.

The truth should always be brought to light.

I cannot stress enough that I believe if people took time to research alienation, reunification camps, and even the family court systems they would be appalled. There’s so much corruption and lies. The alienation industry is destroying people.

OMB's OFFICIAL STANCE ON "ALIENATION"

Drawing a line: We can disagree about a lot of things but I feel so strongly about this "alienation" movement being so detrimental to both survivors and children that I am drawing a strong line.

OMB Facebook and Instagram: I will be deleting posts that use alienation terminology in a way that validates the terminology or the movement. I have worked too hard over the years to allow the OMB channels to be used in a way that hurts survivors.

Why does it matter? This word (and this movement) is the single worst thing to happen to DV victims and survivors. This word is the Father’s Rights movement and when you use this word, you are playing into the hands of the enemy – you are validating and strengthening their movement. You are propelling this disturbing movement forward and you are setting family court advocates (myself included) back lightyears. You are unraveling the work we are doing. You are assuming position in enemy territory. This is very much a war between good and evil and only you get to decide where you stand. This movement is affecting our advocacy because we are divided - we aren't as strong as we could be.

I ask you: which side will you align with?

If you haven’t guessed by now, I have strong opinions on this topic. It is personal for me – not only because of my own battle (I personally faced alienation allegations and I am lucky to still have my children) but because I know the horrors of the reunification camps, I console the parents who have been defeated by this movement, I’ve listened to the guttural screams of the children being taken from courthouses to reunification camps.

If the narcissist or toxic individual is actively turning your children against you, focus on showing patterns of behaviors. I don't believe you need a term BUT if you absolutely MUST have a term, please use Domestic Violence by Proxy. An example of a “pattern of behavior” would be badmouthing or bashing you to the child, placing the child in the middle of adult situations, placing emotional burdens or responsibility on the child. Back each of these up with solid examples but please, please don’t say, “I am being alienated.”

18 days and counting now since Lexi felt she needed to run and take her safety into her own hands. 💔

Court orders for intensive reunification programs or reunification camps are typically accompanied by gag orders.

These gag orders ensure that no one can speak out - and victims of reunification programs are often silenced.

I’m convinced if people took the time to research these reunification camps first, beyond the websites, it would be enough to move the coldest of hearts. This is not okay.

This is a legally recorded conversation, transcribed - this is Loretta Maase of during a reunification therapy session where brave 16-year old Maya confronted her father about years of abuse - horrible and traumatizing abuse.

After this session, it was recommended that the children were sent into her four-day reunification camp.

Don’t all of these “alienation proponents,” say that abuse negates forced reunification? So why did Loretta recommend these three children attend Turning Points if she is admitting that there was abuse in the family?

Did the judge protect these children? No, in fact, Judge James Arth (Texas) ordered them to attend with .

Because the court was not going to protect her children, the mother fled to Mexico, and they are now protected by a ruling from the Hague convention.

They are safe in Mexico, but their lives have been turned upside down, and they are financially devastated. This is criminal, and it’s shameful.

When people ask why I’m against reunification camps, this is a reason…

This is the case of Maya and Sebastian Laing out of Santa Cruz County.

“Given the resources available to this family and the availability of privately funded interventions that are likely to be more comfortable for the children and better suited to address the unique circumstances of this case.”

I think what Brian Myers intended to say, is, “Given that this family is affluent, they are the perfect candidates for the alienation industry.”

And then of course, we have “AFCC trained” therapist, Dr. Regina Marshall, and “AFCC trained” parenting coordinator, Dr. Shawn McCall.

It’s been six months since these children were taken, this is the and we demand

Why are we talking about removing children who are getting good grades, thriving and deeply rooted in their communities? For the same reason we see targeting lower income and marginalized communities = 



It’s really interesting when the same names continue to come up in conversation with parents…

Linda Gottlieb is a dangerous individual. No professional should ever have this attitude about children. There should always be a voice for healing and understanding, being one sided because you have the power is never the answer.

When people say they don’t understand why Lexi fought this, it’s because of stories like this one. Children deserve better. They deserve to be heard.

Lexi is a strong Christian. Whenever she was asked what people could do for her, she would say, “Just pray”. I will continue to ask that if you see this page, please pray for all involved and maintain a spirit of peace. It’s easy to place blame and become angry.

However, God calls us to love all and forgive all.

So again, with that said please pray for a peaceful resolution to all of this and for all involved.

Today the Orthodox Church commemorates a newly canonised saint, St. Ephraim of Katounakia. During Great Lent let us try to
"Leave everything to God, my child, and you will immediately see how peaceful you will be, how much joy you will feel immediately and how much comfort and peace you will find." - St. Ephraim of Katounakia
