In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Ellie shares the story of surviving an abusive marriage marked by addiction, infidelity, intimidation, and escalating physical violence. After growing up with generational trauma and learning to survive through caretaking, Ellie found herself trapped inside another family system that protected the person harming her and punished her for speaking up. As the danger increased, Ellie realized that leaving was the only way to keep herself alive and give her children a chance at safety. However, separation brought a new fight through legal abuse, financial devastation, institutional failures, and the continued weaponization of her children. It's a story of generational trauma, an enabling family, infidelity, physical abuse, protecting your kids, taking your power back, intimidation, gaslighting, legal abuse, post-separation abuse, isolation, IPV, emotional abuse, circular conversations, minimization, addiction, custody, and child abuse. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode graphically discusses child physical abuse, threats involving weapons, addiction, suicidal loss. and adult physical abuse (IPV). *** If you are in search of therapy from professionals dedicated to dealing with TRAUMA - Narcissist Apocalypse recommends REBOUND THERAPY and they can be reached at hellorebound.com/na Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at [email protected] Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
