Catherine & The Cruel Physical Abuser

Catherine & The Cruel Physical Abuser

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we talk with an abuse survivor named Catherine, and Catherine was in a relationship with a cruel, physically violent abuser. What started with trust and attachment slowly turned into intimidation, control, degradation, and violence.

As the relationship progressed, Catherine’s world grew smaller. Fear shaped her choices, shame eroded her sense of self, and motherhood made leaving far more complicated. Even after separation, the abuse did not fully end. It changed form through custody, ongoing control, and the burden of trying to protect her child inside a system that did not make safety easy.

It's a story of physical violence, triangulation, authority abuse, fear, obligation, guilt, shame, custody, court, threats, put downs, systems enabled abuse, inter-generational trauma, addiction, physical abuse, control, cruelty, survival mode, self doubt, hypervigilance, infidelity, lies, trust, isolation, self worth, gaslighting, motherhood, destabilization, being vouched for, post separation abuse, authority abuse, fast attachment, relational trauma, breaking free, and coercive control.
