In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Pearl about her tumultuous upbringing, her first abusive marriage, and the abusive relationship that unfolded in the aftermath. Pearl began a relationship with a co-worker, who initially seemed supportive but later revealed his true self, including explosive anger, jealousy, and controlling behavior. To keep Pearl invested in the relationship, her ex would use all types of threats whenever he felt Pearl might be slipping away.

It's a story of jealousy, rage, control, trauma bonds, manipulation, addiction, sexual coercion, physical abuse, suicide threats, death threats, harassment, anxiety, lies, love bombing, mental health, self compassion, and monitoring.

*** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse, sexual coercion, and suicide threats. ***
