This episode details the introduction of my children to,my partner to where we are currently at while highlighting some of the struggles we are having dealing with my narcissistic ex spouse.

The ongoing moves and now new needs to counter from mistakes I made to agree with my narcissists mother outside of court months back. Now I have to counter in hopes of not losing 25K. Hopefully this episode serves as one more story to reinforce what I knew better. NEVER settle or sign anything outside of court on major decisions.

I had the opportunity to speak with A. Dean about his experience with gaining custody over his child due to domestic violence and his new book titled "Men Do Cry". Enjoy the episode and here is a link to his book for any of those that would love to read it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08R44HS12/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=

This episode details the delays and the wrenches thrown at me over the last couple of weeks with the final days of owning the marital home come to an end. How the process is going with dividing up shared items and how I have been sticking to my boundaries with being consistent. Knowing when to bend and what I feel comfortable with. And also the big news that My children have FINALLY met my partner as we prepare to blend our families. The stressors and pressure of that battle is finally coming to a close.

I had the pleasure of speaking with an interviewing Barnaby and Matthew O'Connell. They are the filmmakers of a recent film receiving a lot of buzz titled "The Pickup Game". Many of the qualities and characteristics of the people portrayed in this documentary fall in line with some red flags I have discussed on previous episodes of narcissistic personality disorder. This film is thought-provoking and at times emotionally triggering. This episode dives deep into the film and some of the thoughts I had as well as their reasoning behind how/why it was filmed in a certain way, what their thoughts were during the process of dealing with these individuals, and what they are looking to portray with this film. I was surprised to get in touch with them and am very happy we were able to bring this episode to you. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making it!

I am so happy to bring my sister to the podcast! Discussing our journey together during my darkest time and her perspective on support and some great advice for those in similar positions. Update at the beginning of the episode for myself and following Matt's updates with his court battles with his ex narc. Lots of information crammed into this episode. Hope you enjoy!

The story details some of my experiences of being hoovered multiple times back into a relationship with a narcissist. Some of the warning signs and some of the damaging outcomes the longer you allow it to happen are highlighted on this topic.

This episode is a documentation of some of the psychological manipulations and tactics my ex narcissist employed on my psyche throughout the course of our sex life together. This episode is a little bit more explicit than most as a fair warning. Listen with caution.

This episode serves as validation and frustration as I am navigating my own emotions, my children's growth and we'll being, attempting to transition, and the road blocks and delays that a narcissist presents. It's a warning for what to expect when attempting to distance and sperate from your toxic narcissistic ex from my current life experiences. I hope it is helpful.

There have been a lot of Court sessions up to this point for me but this one was definitely very stressful building up to it. The house is sold there's a lot riding on the decisions in court. The waiting game was pretty tough but I did get some answers that were positive. There are definitely some things to learn if you have still not taken your ex to court. I know you've heard it a million times but document everything! Enjoy!

Whether it be birthdays, holidays, vacations, anniversaries, personal milestone dates, the narcissist has an uncanny ability to ruin them all. This episode is a red flag warning and personal recollections through my own previous experiences. Enjoy!

I spoke with Matt for a continuation of his court battles with his highly toxic ex husband. If you haven't already, I highly recommend listening to part 1 of Matt's story.

I had the opportunity to email back and forth with a woman named Ricia. Her story was eerily similar to mine in many ways. And it seems like no matter how not surprised I am by the moves narcissists make they're always full of surprises simultaneously. I hope you find her story as interesting as I did and helpful in some ways. The more we speak to those that understand what we've gone through, the stronger we become.

This episode is another discussion with Trish Valleys. We discuss our experiences with our battles with the narcissist through the legal system where I'm at in my battle and everything she has endured. We discuss ways to protect ourselves our hindsight in our experiences and what you can do to help protect yourself and your children along with other candid discussions and topics about the feelings through the process of healing while trying to balance our personal lives.

11 signs of gaslighting. This is tool a narcissist uses to control, manipulate, and isolate you to the point of questioning your own sanity. Intertwined with some of my own experiences to these points on gaslighting as examples.

This episode is covering some thoughts I have been having lately about the characteristics of guilting and shaming. It is a subtle weapon narcissists will utilize to break you down. It worked on me for years. I also threw in a quick update for those following my story.

Conversation with Trish about co-parenting, hoovering, and more red flags. Links to my back yard below as to the condition before and where it is at now. Stay strong we got this. 💜✊ https://photos.app.goo.gl/B2uufJ3GGunLXY3a7

This episode details some signs of the covert narc and symptoms of CPTSD stemming from my life experiences and hopefully some words of encouragement you will find along the way.

I emailed back and forth the man named Matt. He was telling me about his situation with his ex and where he was at now in a very high conflict court battle most of which circling around their children. His story is heartbreaking at times but has been very strong through the whole process and has very solid boundaries for his children and had to go to extreme measures with his ex narcissist. This episode is a little bit longer but I hope you hear his story and his message and that it can help you on your own journey. Thank you!

I had an episode of my past traumas. Slight similarities all the different that triggered an emotional outburst. I also had a message that reminded me and gave me different perspectives and feelings and emotions that I was going through and realized how far I have come and how far I still have to go.
