12-Domestic Abuse SURVIVOR: An Anonymous Submission; Part 3/3


Listen Later

This is part 3 and the conclusion of an anonymous submission previously released on "Another Situation" podcast in October 2021. 

She never thought it could happen to her, but the author found herself trapped in an abusive relationship filled with unpredictable rages, constant gaslighting, and emotional manipulation. In this powerful and emotional episode, she shares her personal journey and the red flags that were present early on, escalating into a toxic cycle of abuse. The author reveals how she even recorded one of these rages to confront her ex-partner, only to be met with defensiveness and further threats.

This story takes a darker turn as the author discusses surviving a narcissistic relationship and the devastating impact it had on her life. She was made to question her own sanity, her parenting abilities, and even her faith, all while being told that she was the cause of the problems in the relationship. But through seeking help and connecting with others who have been through similar experiences, she found the strength to trust her instincts and recognize when something was off in a relationship.

The road to recovery wasn't easy, but the author shares the steps she took to break free from the emotional roller coaster caused by covert narcissistic abuse. Escaping the control and manipulation of her ex-partner took time, but the resources that helped her heal and move forward are invaluable. By sharing her story, the author hopes to empower others to recognize the signs of an unhealthy relationship and find the strength to leave and rebuild their lives. Join me on this journey of healing and self-discovery, and find hope in knowing that you are not alone.
