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

and Robin grew up with the controlling abuse of mother.

It's a story of intergenerational trauma, impossible expectations, put downs, identity issues,

and the normalization of abuse.

Music identity issues and the normalization of abuse. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, everyone.

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

How are you?

Hi.

Thank you for having me.

Well, thank you for being here, and today we're going to hear Robin's story. But before that, if you want to be a guest on our show, please go to our website at Narcissistapocalypse.com. 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. And there you can read all of our instructions. either send us an email at Narcissist Apocalypse at gmail.com or fill out our guest form and press

the submit button. And please do send it in the format that we ask for. In today's episode,

there is a content warning for this episode as we do discuss suicide threats, suicidal ideation, self-harm,

and what we also have on this episode is a self-defense physical reaction, and that is our

content warning for today. And today's episode was actually recorded four and a half years ago. So you'll notice

that it isn't in the same format. It's just not as refined as we do it today. I've tried to

fix up the sound as best as possible. I was also still learning a lot at this point. And this

episode is about Robin's mom, Robin's controlling abuse of mom.

And even though this episode is on the shorter end, we know we get through a lot of issues

that Robin goes through now and how she's dealing with them. And I really can't thank her

enough for being our guest back then. And then finally, again, today.

So now I will get out of my way and your way.

Robin, the floor is now yours.
