    Episode 58: Marty Wilkinson - Can an Abuser Really Change and Recover?

    Episode 58: Marty Wilkinson - Can an Abuser Really Change and Recover?

    Marty himself was abused and became an abuser. He was a narcissist through and through. When it came time to choose between this behavior or his son, he chose his son. He was desperate for help. For someone to speak up about this. But there was no one that could relate to him directly. "There was lots of help for people who had been abused. But there was none for people who had been abusive." Marty is changing the waves by speaking out and showing that it is possible for a narcissist to change if they want it bad enough.
