In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Tally shares how the seemingly perfect man next door became controlling, intimidating, and physically dangerous. What began with jealousy, phone checking, and triangulation slowly grew into emotional neglect, family enabling, repeated promises of change, and escalating violence during pregnancy and after childbirth. Each apology gave Tally another reason to believe the future they had planned was still possible.

It's a story of control, intimidation, jealousy, triangulation, emotional neglect, family enabling, future faking, dreams, physical abuse, strangulation, emotional caretaking, coercive control, promises to change, cycles of abuse, walking on eggshells, phone monitoring, needs reframed as demands, belittling, putdowns, custody, and the religious image. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode graphically discusses adult physical abuse (IPV), and strangulation. *** 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.
