TRIGGER WARNING: Please be aware that towards the end of the episode, Kari discusses a physical violence incident that may be triggering for some.

In part one of Kari's story, we are introduced to David, a very charming man she met at work as a young single mom in college. He seemed too good to be true, and when the love bombing ensued, she fell hook, line, and sinker! After the wedding, things began to spiral when he became jealous, possessive, and eventually physically abusive - sending her prematurely to the ER to deliver their baby. But, when the police showed up at her door, it made her question, 'Who did I marry?'

This story will be available on our YouTube channel as well.

Topics discussed:

-The vulnerability of being a young, single mom and the power imbalance when dating an older man

-How narcissists oftentimes are the life of the party and difficult to pinpoint right away

-How love bombing can sweep you off your feet and why it doesn’t present itself as a red flag

-Identifying controlling, jealous, and isolating behavior

-How a con man can seamlessly get your personal information without you knowing it

-How a partner financially abuses their victim
