Customer Reviews
Cam the J.w abuse survivor
This show here really resonate with me. Kaam survived social alienation with a J.W and realize his self-worth was more important than making others happy.
June 30, 2024 —Another dud
Some of these episodes are absolutely phenomenal. This isn’t one of them. You cannot believe some of these guests are allowed to vote, let alone operate a motor vehicle or become parents.
3 stars because the family stories are good
I’ve listened to enough of this show to conclude…on the whole it is rather irresponsible. It’s not really so much a show about narcissists as it is about (excluding those born into narcissistic family dynamics- those are the good stories), codependents/love addicts relaying the story of their addiction. And in any other framing of addiction, there is a level of “your addiction is not your fault, but it is your responsibility”. Instead, with his line of commentary, the host absolves the guest of any and all culpability in their situation, in a way you would never see if the addiction was a substance instead of a person. It’s particularly egregious when these addicts- and it’s mostly women addicted to men- bring their own children into these situations, and keep them there, and even bring MORE children into it (I think the record was a woman who birthed 4, when she was addicted prior to even being married). It is wild to see one grown woman after another demonstrate the mental functioning of a teenager, and the last thing they need to be doing is chasing penis (*especially* when there are children in their charge…for a show that also features the children of narcissists- the only tolerable episodes- and the harm done there, the host should know!).
The host is running a business and as such, I can understand that on air he can’t hold victims accountable who are entirely wrapped up in their victimhood, and aren’t willing to accept their part in it and the harm their addiction caused their children. If he did, the guests would leave the call. But it’s encouraging learned helplessness on the part of codependents. When really, if you’re not ready for adult responsibility, you’re not ready for adult fun, especially if you’re in charge of minors. We KNOW narcissists are awful! So is heroin! Are we going to focus on the toxic, immovable, predatory drug dealer, or are we going to frame the story about the addiction that the addict CAN change, and who they harmed due to their addiction? Like literally all other stories about addiction?
Ideally he would not feature guests who aren’t ready to frame the story around their addiction (as opposed to getting worked up about how “he did this! and he did that!”). But if there aren’t enough guests to go around, maybe he just should not do the commentary at all. The upside is, if you’re binge listening, later on the guest audio quality does improve.
