Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Lindsay shares her journey of overcoming intergenerational trauma and her abusive marriage. Lindsay met her husband at a wedding, where she felt seen by him, and the relationship moved quickly from there. Lindsay felt like they had two lives, one impacted by her partner's gambling addiction trips, and the other when they were at home. Over time, the addiction took its toll, and the putdowns, name-calling, gaslighting, and eventual physical abuse ramped up. It's a story of trauma bonding, gaslighting, addiction, future faking, physical abuse, sexual assault, support, isolation, self worth, intergenerational trauma, financial reliance, divorce, putdowns, custody, post separation abuse, and healing. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses child sexual abuse, physical abuse, and suicide. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or send us an email at [email protected] PODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS: Perfect Prey With Dr. Christine Cocchiola | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Covert Narcissism Podcast | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bitch is a Bad Word | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here When Dating Hurts Podcast | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you or someone you know are experiencing abuse, you are not alone.
