Dear Little Me

185: Accepting Abuse Because It Is Normal


Listen Later

This week on the HEAL blog 12 Steps To Self Love After Physical Abuse


In this quick chat episode, I speak with Nathalia who endured a challenging upbringing marked by a mother with narcissistic and controlling tendencies. Nathalia did not recognise this as abuse until very recently in her life because it was normal to her. The familiarity of this abuse saw Nathalia marry a man who exhibited similar narcissistic and controlling traits. Over a span of 16 years, the abuse within this marriage escalated to a disturbing degree, with Nathalia eventually convinced that she was the abusive one in the relationship. In Nathalia's story, we observe how this trauma has transcended generations, affecting her mother, herself, and her daughter. Each, in their own way, accepted emotional and physical abuse throughout their lives.
