In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we have the conclusion to this three part situation.  #every1knowssome1

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 us on this journey of healing and self-discovery, and find hope in knowing that you are not alone.

**Don't forget, today is Purple Thursday!**

Have you ever found yourself in a relationship where something just doesn't feel right, but you can't quite put your finger on it? This episode shares an eye-opening story of a woman who, after separating from her husband, entered into a new relationship with a man who was also going through a separation. We uncover the numerous red flags she overlooked as their relationship progressed, such as his still-living-with-his-ex-wife situation, requests to keep their relationship a secret, and constant comparisons between her and his ex-wife.

Join us as we discuss the problematic dynamics that began to develop between the woman and her partner, including his neediness, unrealistic expectations, and how his ex-wife's lies affected their relationship. We also dive into a particularly intense argument that signaled the beginning of a seven-month relationship between the man and a friend she had introduced him to. Learn how to recognize signs of an unhealthy relationship, set boundaries, and establish a relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. Don't miss this crucial conversation about navigating the complexities of a relationship with someone recently separated from their partner.
