In this raw and emotional episode, Abby takes us deeper into her harrowing journey. What started as one magical night with a charming stranger soon unraveled the web of control, cult-like oppression, and emotional abuse that defined her marriage to Bobby. From secret phone calls and a fleeting romance to financial manipulation and being spiritually silenced, Abby reveals the impossible decisions she had to make to reclaim her power.
🔊 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
The night Abby met someone who made her feel seen again — for the first time in ten years.
The moment Abby realized her husband had drained their joint bank account — leaving her with just 49 cents.
Physical and emotional abuse that escalated until she was literally barricaded in her own closet.
Bobby’s twisted logic: lying “in the name of God” and using religion to excuse manipulation.
A disturbing psychiatric showdown after Bobby demanded mental health evaluations for them both.
Cult leaders, marriage “reconciliation,” and the breaking point that led to Abby filing for divorce.
💔 This is a story of unimaginable control and the courage it takes to leave—not just a man, but a deeply entrenched system designed to keep women silent.
