Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Bree shares her story of her abusive relationship. Bree and her family thought she married 'Mr. Perfect', but a week after their honeymoon, the coercive control began. At first, it started with isolation, then financial abuse, putdowns, sexual abuse, infidelity, triangulation, and more. It took a long time for Bree to free herself from the clutches of her husband, but she eventually got the divorce she was looking for. However, ten years post-divorce, Bree is still dealing with her ex's post-separation abuse. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses child sexual abuse and relationship sexual abuse. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or send us an email at [email protected] PODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS: Perfect Prey With Dr. Christine Cocchiola | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Covert Narcissism Podcast | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bitch is a Bad Word | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ When Dating Hurts Podcast | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you or someone you know are experiencing abuse, you are not alone.

0:00.0	On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we talk with an abuse survivor named Bree,
0:06.7	and Bree was married to a coercive controller.
0:10.2	It's a story of financial abuse, isolation, infidelity, moving goalposts, post-separation abuse,
0:18.3	and triangulation. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, everyone. I am Brandon Chadwick and with me today, we have Bree. How are you?
0:51.0	Hi, Brandon. I'm doing well. How are you? I am doing well and thank you for being here with us today.
0:59.0	And if you want to be a guest like Bree is today, please do go to our website at Narcissistapocalypse.com.
1:04.9	Top of the page, there's a button that says guest form. When you click on that button, it takes you to our guest form page.
1:10.3	There you can read all of our
1:11.5	instructions and either send us an email at Narcissist Apocalypse at gmail.com or fill out our guest
1:16.6	form and press the submit button. And please do send it in the format that we ask for. And for today's
1:23.2	episode, we do have a content warning in this episode because there is talk of sexual abuse
1:31.1	in this episode as a child, childhood sexual abuse as a child. And then later on, there is
1:37.8	sexual abuse as well in the marriage too. So there is the content warning for this episode. And today you are going to hear
1:47.6	Breeze story. It is one of coercive control and also one of post-separation abuse. And a difference
1:55.2	here today is that with most of the stories that we hear with post-separation abuse on our show, especially the ones that
2:02.3	happen, you know, 10 years after the fact, usually they involve children. In this case,
2:08.6	Breeze story does not. We're just dealing with someone who refuses to let things go and they just
2:15.2	need control and they need to win somehow. So a big thank you to
2:20.0	Bree for being here with us today. And now I'm going to get out of my way and your way.
2:25.1	Bree, the floor is now yours.
2:29.5	Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for having me on the show and taking the time to hear my story.
2:35.7	A lot of this happened quite a few years ago. And I just wanted to share what I'd gone through
