On this episode of the Character Outs podcast I have Doug Buggle back for part 2! Doug takes a deep dive into the abuse that he endured while married to his covert narcissistic ex-wife Tammy. We talk about the ways in which she insidiously invaded the relationships with his children. The controlling, humiliating and abusive ways in which she treated Doug. And, what happened to his relationships when Tammy was removed from the equation, particularly with Jim, Tammy's ex-husband. We discuss where he is today, and how he got to a place of healing. We also discuss the moments in which he realized there was something very wrong with the woman he was married to and how he had the strength to get out. He also goes into detail about what compelled him to write his book. "Third Time Was Not a Charm: Surviving Narcissistic Abuse" His book can be found here: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/third-time-was-not-a-charm-teddy-bowers/1144075587 Here is the podcast Doug referred to that helped him understand the narcissism: https://theadultchair.com/podcasts/ Enjoy this powerful story and amazing human. Surviving covert narcissistic abuse whether it be from a spouse, partner or parent is overwhelming. As victims of emotional abuse, we were silent for too long. Our power is in sharing our story, there isn't something wrong with us and it happened exactly as we remember. *If you would like to share your story on the pod, email me at [email protected] *Join the conversation over on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/characteroutspodcast/ If no one has told you lately, it's not you, never has been and you are not alone.
