Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Colette shares her story of being in a long-distance abusive relationship with a blame-shifting Demand Man. Colette met her abuser in an online forum and felt his charisma through the screen. Colette liked him, and their friendship slowly morphed into a romantic relationship. Colette's partner was upfront with his OCD, and Colette was very empathetic to his needs. However, due to the distance, it was hard for Colette to discern what was abuse and what was their partner's mental health issues. But once they met in person and Colette became pregnant, the abuse was very much on display and couldn't be denied. Colette was in an abusive relationship, and she needed to figure out how to end it before it got worse. It's a story of mental health, religious beliefs, putdowns, suicide threats, feeling you deserve bad things, fear, obligation, guilt, lies, half truths, blame shifting, fixing, double standards, and manufacturing chaos. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses suicide threats. *** 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.
