On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we talk with an abuse survivor named Allison,

and Allison was married to a controlling financial abuser.

It's a story of isolation, dependency, sowing the seeds of doubt, the in-law cult, and the healing process.

Music in-law cult and the healing process. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, everyone.

I am Brandon Chadwick and with me today we have Allison.

How are you?

I am doing well today.

Thanks for having me.

in the format that we ask for and today we are going to hear Allison's story and for the most part

unusually I don't know much about your story. Most of the time I have a general

idea of what I'm about to hear, but today everyone, we're pretty much going to be winging it.

So besides a few details, I know, this is a really fresh story for me to hear as well.

So the things I do know is that you dealt with a lot

of financial abuse and that your abuser was very much a water torturer and a Mr. Wright combo

from the Lundy Bancroft list of abusers, someone who is going to very much establish themselves

as an authority and to do it in a way

without raising their voice. So it was very subtle in a lot of ways. So Allison, I really just want to

thank you for being here today. And I'm just going to get out of my way and your way.

Allison, the floor is now yours.

Okay, well, thanks so much for having me

and I really appreciate being able to be here
