Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Regan about her abusive relationship with a narcissistic philanthropist. After she moved in with her abuser, Regan became a prisoner in her own home, subject to daily psychological abuse, threats, and physical pain, but nothing that would leave a mark. After all, Regan's abuser was deemed a pillar in the community, so his abusive behavior needed to stay behind closed doors. It's a story of boundaries, shame, guilt, physical abuse, threats, put downs, identity erosion, gaslighting, blame shifting, control, isolation, escape plans, minimization, denial, confidence, self worth, and stalking. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.

2:27.9	So my parents were very consumed with caring for her as she got into more and more trouble, which then kind of
