Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Tegan shares her story of growing up in a family system where shame, criticism, and cultural excuses taught her to minimize her own pain. When she met her ex, the relationship felt like proof that she was finally chosen, wanted, and loved. But over time, the relationship became tangled with addiction, guilt trips, sexual coercion, intimidation, and fear. Tegan discusses how her ex’s drinking and drug use created chaos, but how the abuse also showed up in the arguments, the pressure to have sex, physical intimidation, the way he used her lowest moments as emotional debt, and the stalking that continued after the relationship ended.
