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

and Mallory was in a toxic relationship with a higher spectrum narcissist. It's a story of being a fixer, control, facades, and parental alienation of stepchildren. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, everyone. And this is a podcast that gives a voice to survivors of toxic relationships. I am Brandon Chadwick, but my friends call me Chad. And thanks for tuning into this episode. So what is a narcissist you may ask? Well, for the purposes of

this podcast, we refer to a narcissist as anyone who has displayed a pattern of behavior that shows

a limited capacity to appreciate others' perspectives. It is that simple. And now, before we get to our episode with
