In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks to Jimmy about his marriage to a raging abuser. Jimmy grew up in a restrictive society, and due to his sexual orientation, he became a reliable community member to survive. When he arrived in the United States, Jimmy began a relationship with his future abuser and felt seen like he had never felt seen before. Unfortunately, Jimmy became the victim of rage, financial control, put-downs, sexual coercion, and physical abuse. It's a story of fear, people pleasing, survival, control, trauma, sexuality, lgbtq issues, physical abuse, sexual abuse, sexual coercion, financial control, family dynamics, coping mechanisms, gaslighting, post separation abuse, hoovering, excuses, anxiety, and addiction. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse and sexual coercion/abuse. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com PODCAST RECOMMENDATIONS: Perfect Prey With Dr. Christine Cocchiola | Click Here The Covert Narcissism Podcast | Click Here Bitch is a Bad Word | Click Here When Dating Hurts Podcast | Click Here If you or someone you know are experiencing abuse, you are not alone.
