Sisters Cracking Up

Married to a Toxic Narcissist with Dr. Kerry McAvoy


Listen Later

Dr. Kerry McAvoy was a busy mom, wife, and psychologist when her world was devasted by the death of her first husand.

When she was finally able to come up for air, she met a new man who was everything she wanted in a partner. 

Just months after the wedding, she woke up to a text from a woman she didn't know: “I guess the joke is not just on me but on you, too. I’ve been dating your husband.” 

Her world was shattered. Still in love with her new husband, she chose not to leave. Instead, she spent the next two years fruitlessly and desperately trying to fix what was broken.

Despite being a psychologist, Kerry had never heard the term "narcissistic abuse." She didn't realize she'd been love-bombed, and was now being manipulated and gaslighted.

Married to a man whose personality vacillated between good guy and monster, Kerry was left strung out and confused. She became so desperate that she briefly considered ending her life. 

When her son became ill, Kerry saw her chance to leave her marriage and escape the hellscape she'd been living in. 

Kerry's goal now is to help others gain clarity and heal after narcissistic abuse. She wrote a book, Love You Moreand took to TikTok where she created a 29-part video series on her experience of marriage to a malignant narcissist. This series, as well as her other videos about toxic relationships, have garnered over 18 million likes.
