In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Dove shares her story of a relationship that began as a familiar friendship and slowly turned into coercive control, jealousy, sexual coercion, privacy violations, isolation, physical violence, and strangulation. What first felt like safety became a relationship where Dove was expected to manage his moods, answer immediately, give up privacy, accept accusations, and carry the blame for his behavior. Dove discusses the slow escalation of walking on eggshells, being punished for asking for space, having her needs minimized, being pressured into sexual situations she did not want, and having her private images shared without consent. She also shares how jealousy and interrogation became a way to control her friendships, her phone, her family time, and her reality.
