Narcissists, Gaslighters, and Cheaters, Oh My!28 Touko 2025

Miss Zero Accountability

Cleo lost her sister-in-law — the woman who had become one of the most important people in her life. And then someone new arrived. And things got worse.

In this episode, Cleo opens up about grief, generational trauma, and what happens when a toxic person enters a family that is already broken open by loss. The manipulation. The fractured relationships. The helplessness of watching someone you love fall under a spell you can see clearly, and they can't — not yet.

This is the first chapter of Cleo's story. It is not a short one.

We'll be following Cleo's journey over time — because some stories are still unfolding, and this one deserves to be told in full.

All details have been kept anonymous out of respect for everyone involved.

Narcissists, Gaslighters, & Cheaters, Oh My! — real folks, real stories, survival & healing.
