Melissa thought she’d finally been given another chance at love — a man who seemed loving, attentive, and perfectly in sync with her life as a single mom. But behind the charm was something much darker. In this gripping episode, Melissa shares how she fell into the web of a narcissist — a master manipulator who gaslit her, shattered her sense of reality, and ultimately betrayed her in the most invasive way possible: by hiding a camera in the bathroom to secretly record her and her daughters. She opens up about the red flags, the emotional warfare of narcissistic abuse, and the overwhelming mom guilt that still lingers. This is a story of deception, violation, and the strength it takes to rebuild after unimaginable betrayal.
