As originally told on Discovery ID's show, Toxic, Kelly believed she had learned to trust her instincts. A licensed therapist and homeowner who had already survived profound loss, she thought she had finally found the perfect partner when she met Chris—charming, attentive, and deeply loving, with no obvious red flags.

⚠️ Content Advisory:

This episode discusses emotional manipulation, coercive control, and relationship abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

But after they married, everything changed. Kelly became mysteriously ill, doctors had no answers, and her husband began pushing her boundaries in ways that left her confused and isolated. As her health declined, Kelly followed a gut instinct that led her to a discovery she couldn’t ignore—one that would set off a chain of events escalating into terrifying violence in Part 2.
