Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Abigail tells her story of being raised by a psychologically and physically abusive father. Abigail's father needed to be the center of attention for everything, and if he wasn't, everyone in her family faced the consequences. Abigail's story isn't just a story of being abused, but it's also a story of seeing her mother being abused, how her mother didn't protect her, and the smear campaign against her when she tried to leave the family for good. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse of a child. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at [email protected] To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.
