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

and Mabel was in a push-pull relationship with a boundary-pushing emotional abuser.

It's a story of love bombing, cognitive dissonance, nitpicking, guilt, kernels of truth, manipulation, and hoovering. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, everyone.

I am Brandon Chadwick, and with me today, we have Mabel.

And we do not have a content warning for this episode.

And also this episode was recorded a very long time ago, almost five years ago.

And the sound in a couple of ways made it impossible to edit this episode. However, due to technology,

we were able to polish it up to this form. It's not perfect, but it works. And thank you technology
