Almost Oblivious

Episode 35: When Abusers Play the Victim


Listen Later

In this honest episode, Autumn shares her personal experience with an abusive partner who twisted the truth and claimed to be the victim. She breaks down the manipulation tactic known as DARVO, highlights the damage it causes, and provides practical tools for those navigating similar experiences.

This episode is a reminder that your story matters—even when someone else tries to steal it.

DARVO:

  • Deny the behavior

  • Attack the victim’s credibility

  • Reverse the Victim and Offender
