Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Evelyn about her marriage to a cheating manipulative narcissist. At first, Evelyn felt her husband had a bit of a drinking issue, but once they had children, Evelyn realized the issues ran deeper than addiction. Evelyn's husband needed to be the center of attention, and if he wasn't going to get it from her or the kids, he'd get it from someone else. Despite therapy (which became weaponized) and attempts to save the marriage, Evelyn realized she needed to leave for her and her children's well-being. It's a story of manipulation, intergenerational trauma, intimidation, religious beliefs, financial leverage, gaslighting, kids as extensions, infidelity, codependency, and weaponized therapy.
