Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse14 Des 2025

Mae & The Dangerous Controlling Abuser | Domestic Violence & Narcissistic Abuse

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Mae shares her journey as a survivor of domestic violence and narcissistic abuse. She describes the early red flags, including love bombing, control, and isolation. Despite initial displays of love and support, her husband's behavior deteriorated, becoming marked by physical violence, emotional abuse, and financial manipulation. Key incidents included a New Year's Eve attack and a bar altercation, which led to his incarceration for assault and domestic violence. Despite his arrest, Mae's divorce was complicated by his enabling family's support and legal maneuvers.

It's a story of physical abuse, sexual coercion, emotional abuse, financial manipulation, love bombing, control, isolation, threats, enabling in-laws, trust, support, child abuse, coping strategies, codependency, false imprisonment, family court, divorce, and custody.

*** CONTENT WARNING - We discuss physical abuse and sexual coercion in this episode. ***
