In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Avielle about her marriage to a critical physical abuser. Avielle's ex always had a way of getting his foot in the door, even after he abandoned Avielle after they got married. Once he got back into Avielle's life, Avielle took her marriage vows very seriously and did her best to make the relationship work. However, once they had kids, the emotional and physical abuse ramped up, and Avielle was afraid to leave due to the threats of being arrested.

It's a story of criticism, put downs, being good enough, shame, family pressure, the normalcy of chaos, threats, commitment, double standards, abandonment, physical abuse, sexual abuse, intimidation, rage, walking on eggshells, and the pitfalls of potential.

*** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse and sexual assault. ***
