In this episode, hosts Behk and LAH dive into the complex dynamics of a marriage marked by control and manipulation. Guest Emily shares the beginning of her journey with her military ex-husband, whom she met at 22 before moving across the country to start a new life with him. As she settled in, Emily quickly encountered her toxic mother-in-law—a woman determined to maintain control over her 27-year-old son and create drama to keep herself at the center of his world. Emily describes the early warning signs and red flags in her husband and his mother, shedding light on their shared narcissistic traits.

Emily opens up about her own family background, explaining how those early experiences may have conditioned her to overlook the red flags her husband displayed. This episode sets the stage for Part 2, where Emily will explore the unraveling of her marriage and the deeper psychological impact of these relationships.
