In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Liam shared his experiences with his father, who came from a poor background, became a mechanical engineer, and was deeply affected by the deaths of his parents. Liam described his father's focus on status and money, his own struggles with school, and the emotional toll of his father's unpredictable behavior and alcoholism. Liam's father was often critical and unsupportive, leading Liam to seek therapy to detach emotionally. Despite his father's initial support during Liam's son's birth, their relationship deteriorated over a name dispute. It's a story of expectations, pedestals, pettiness, divorce, safe parents, putdowns, neglect, mixed messages, alcoholism, and ego.  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.
