On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we talk with an abuse survivor named Louise, and

Louise was in a 25-year marriage with a domineering emotional abuser. It's a story of put-downs,

belittling, invalidation, gaslighting, codependency, parental alienation, and taking your power back. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, everyone.

I am Brandon Chadwick.

And with me today, we have Louise.

And thank you for being here.

Thank you for having me. So this is an older episode. I've polished it up a little bit and

re-recorded some parts for sound. And early on in doing the show, Louise always made an impact on me, and it's an episode. I'll

always recommend to people who want to feel hopeful, but also an episode, I recommend to people

who are going through parental alienation and want to believe that their kids will finally

see the truth one day. And Louise always stuck in my mind, in my head. As someone who didn't tell their kids that

their dad was bad or their dad was evil, she just set out to be the best version of herself to prove

to her ex and to herself, you know, that she was a capable person. And this survivor story doesn't follow the format we

usually use, you know, but for Louise, the way we did it at the time, it worked. And I had no

idea about any sort of format back then. So with that being said, you know, you're going to hear

her episode. And as well, we're going to be doing, uh, we started doing like a

weekly newsletter. And we will include a workbook for this episode in that weekly newsletter.

So sign up for our weekly newsletter by going to our website. A lot of people find these

workbooks helpful. Go to our website. You'll see you on our page where to sign up on the front page, sign up for our newsletter.
