Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse29 Apr

Rerelease | Erika & The Abuser Who Controlled Everything

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Erika about growing up inside religious conditioning that taught her to submit, stay quiet, and see her worth through being a wife and mother. After losing her family and community as a young adult, Erika entered relationships where she kept trying to build safety, stability, and family, even while being worn down by neglect, pressure, and control.

Her second marriage became the center of this story. Erika shares how coercive control showed up through financial abuse, sexual coercion, intimidation, weapons, surveillance, isolation, legal abuse, and post-separation abuse. She also talks about dissociation, the shock of realizing how much danger she had been living in, and the crisis center moment that helped her finally name what was happening.

It's a story of financial abuse, coercive control, animal abuse, language, religious beliefs, social abuse, intimidation, stalking, post separation abuse, divorce, custody, dissociation, puzzle pieces, self discovery, sexual coercion, weapons, denial, recognizing abuse, isolation, punishments, single moms, lawyers, being homeless, and research.

*** CONTENT WARNING - There is discussion of sexual coercion, animal abuse, and extreme physical initimidation in this episode. ***
