Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Annapurna shares the story of her abusive relationship that started off like a fairy tale come true. Annapurna was swept off her feet, taken on trips, and seen for all her hard work. She was living a dream. However, after an argument that turned physical, nothing was ever the same again. Annapurna's ex morphed into someone she didn't recognize, and because of his gaslighting, so did she. It's a story of victim playing, identity erosion, physical abuse, crazy making, putdowns, infidelity, lying, love addiction, and trauma bonds. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode has graphic descriptions of physical abuse. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at [email protected] To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.
