Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Dee about her marriage to a manipulative abuser. Dee met her husband at a high school homecoming party. He was a handsome, surfer-like guy who stood out and made her feel special. Dee felt chosen and committed to being the cool and laid-back girl, not getting her needs met over his. As the relationship progressed, Dee was subject to triangulation tactics, comparing her behavior to her husband's terrible ex-girlfriend. Things got worse when the gaslighting began, then came the criticism, isolation, physical abuse, and stalking. It's a story of escalation, being vouched for, praise, isolation, physical abuse, gaslighting, triangulation, criticism, infidelity, dog whistling, divorce, custody, court, post separation abuse, and stalking. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse. *** 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.
