Emily was 22 when she met him. She packed up her life and moved across the country for a fresh start. What she got instead was him — and his mother.
In part one of Emily's story, she takes us back to the beginning — the early warning signs she noticed but couldn't quite name, a mother-in-law who treated her grown son like a possession and everyone else like a threat, and the family history that quietly conditioned Emily to accept things she never should have had to.
Two narcissists. One marriage. And a 22-year-old who deserved so much better.
Part two is coming. The unraveling is something else entirely.
Narcissists, Gaslighters, & Cheaters, Oh My! — real folks, real stories, survival & healing.
