In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Moon about her abusive relationship with a manipulative future-faking narcissist. At 32, Moon sought a life partner, leading to a whirlwind romance with her now ex-husband. Moon's ex was initially charming, but it didn't take long for his manipulative behavior to be revealed. Moon endured a myriad of abuses, including infidelity, control tactics, isolation, emotional abuse, animal abuse, and physical violence. Thankfully, Moon survived to tell her story. It's a story of using medical knowledge to control, isolation, projection, grooming, strangulation, frog in boiling pot, cycle of abuse, financial abuse, intimidation, animal abuse, physical abuse, trauma bond, guilt, word salads, sleep deprivation, infidelity, custody, court, divorce, future faking, entitlement, rage, anger, threats, safety is a privilege, triangulation, manipulative in-laws, and grey rock. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses animal abuse and physical 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.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Lindsay shares her journey of overcoming intergenerational trauma and her abusive marriage. Lindsay met her husband at a wedding, where she felt seen by him, and the relationship moved quickly from there. Lindsay felt like they had two lives, one impacted by her partner's gambling addiction trips, and the other when they were at home. Over time, the addiction took its toll, and the putdowns, name-calling, gaslighting, and eventual physical abuse ramped up. It's a story of trauma bonding, gaslighting, addiction, future faking, physical abuse, sexual assault, support, isolation, self worth, intergenerational trauma, financial reliance, divorce, putdowns, custody, post separation abuse, and healing. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses child sexual abuse, physical abuse, and suicide. *** 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.

Ever found yourself questioning if what you're experiencing in a relationship is love or something much, much darker? Maybe you're stuck in that endless cycle—feeling cherished one moment, then manipulated, trapped, and isolated the next—wondering if the confusion, anxiety, and even shame are somehow your fault? Well homie, it's time we tear that damn illusion to pieces. In this episode, we're shining the brightest spotlight into the shadows with legendary criminal profiling expert Dr. Ann Burgess. As the Diddy trial takes an incredibly dark turn, Dr. Ann is back to break down the cycle of abuse heard in jaw-dropping detail through Jane's testimony—so NO woman ever has to fall prey to these toxic patterns again. There's a blueprint to how abusers operate, and it DOESN'T always show up as bruises. The cycle is sneaky: devotion turns to obsession, “love” is weaponized for control, and you're left doubting your reality. But fam, we are DONE letting shame or manipulation keep us silent. We dig deep into: - The hidden signs of the cycle of abuse and how they can masquerade as love, devotion, or even gifts - Confidence-shattering tactics used by abusers—including humiliation, degrading “tests,” gaslighting, and manipulation - How financial control and dependency become another weapon to keep you trapped - Why those weird gut feelings and “something isn't right” moments are your most powerful warning signals - What to do if you recognize yourself in Jane's (or Cassie's, or Mia's) story—from crisis centers to finding your voice and support system - Crucial advice for breaking free: how to test back, regain leverage, and build the courage to leave AND, we're joined by PopCrimeTV's Lauren Conlin, host of Pop Crime TV—who's been planted in the courtroom EVERY SINGLE DAY of the Diddy trial, witnessing history unfold. Lauren brings you the unfiltered, inside scoop on everything: - What it's really like inside the packed federal courtroom (yes, paparazzi and Kanye West drama included!) - Exclusive updates and reactions straight from the courthouse—no sugarcoating, no spin, just truth - Her raw observations of Cassie, Mia, and Jane as they give their testimonies, and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways Diddy responds to each survivor - The complex, emotional undercurrents affecting the jury—and what's really happening when celebrity power comes face-to-face with justice for women If you or someone you know is experiencing Domestic Violence, help is available.

While there has been a lot of talk from both sides of the political divide about the issue over the last few tears, there has been little action to combat the current femicide epidemic in Australia. Dr Vincent Hurley made waves with his appearance on Q&A lecturing politicians on this very inaction, as a criminology lecturer and a former cop he has seen the firsthand the brutal reality of violence against women and children.

What happens when childhood trauma meets unwavering resilience? Katherine (Kat) Omo-Osagie's story answers this question with extraordinary power and grace.At just six years old, Kat witnessed unimaginable violence when her father shot her mother multiple times before taking his own life. Today, she stands tall as Miss Lewisville, a contestant in the 2025 Miss Texas pageant, a college scholar on a presidential scholarship, and a passionate mentor to young children finding their own paths.Kat takes us through her remarkable journey of healing - from the frightened child who lost her confidence in elementary school, to the middle schooler who was bullied when classmates discovered her family's experience through online searches, to the high achiever who still struggled with feeling "good enough" despite external success. With remarkable self-awareness, she articulates how trauma manifests differently throughout various life stages, creating new challenges even as she builds strength.The turning point came through pageantry, something Kat never imagined herself doing. Winning Miss Texas Teen in 2021 with her platform "Break the Cycle of Abuse" transformed the very story she once hid from into her greatest strength. "It was a really cool full circle moment to have this story of my family that was something I used to hide from...and then suddenly bring light to it and then have all this success because of it."Kat's philosophy, inherited from her resilient mother Stephanie Bond, that "adversity breeds success if you let it," shines through every aspect of her life. Her commitment to mentorship through Big Brothers Big Sisters reflects her desire to be for others what she needed as a child.This conversation isn't just about surviving domestic violence—it's about transforming pain into purpose and using your story to create ripples of positive change. As Kat eloquently puts it: "I never want to waste such a horrible thing that happened. If there can be good done with it..." Her journey reminds us that our deepest wounds can become our greatest gifts to the world.

Slam the Gavel welcomes Attorney Bethany Niman, from Idaho to the podcast. As a solo lawyer, she opened Bright Star Law in Idaho. Her focus is on Estate Planning and Criminal Defense cases and is able to practice in Idaho and Montana. Currently, she is offering basic Estate Planning packages for $250.00, which includes Simple Wills, Medical and Financial Power of Attorney, Declaration of Living Will, and Declaration of Homestead. Also, discounts are available for couples and veterans. Today we discussed the dilemmas that Pro Se Litigants face in the family courtrooms where accountability is overlooked and children are handed over to the abuser. We also discussed that there is a pattern to this and a case that is not a "one off." A mother that hasn't seen her children in 10 months for no reason and has evidence of the abuse, while the abuser has issues himself, shows clearly that the mother should be given full custody. This case is clear cut however, Judge Chad Gulstrom thinks otherwise. Perjury and contempt have now added to the "Wild West," of the family court system.There will be an update on this case. We also discussed the Decker Case that made the news and was referenced in the article, ABC News: "Father who killed 3 daughters was 'active dad' but the 'system failed' him, ex-wife's attorney says," written by Megan Forrester.To Reach Attorny Niman: Facebook, Bethany.Niman@starlawid.com or 208-223-1618 Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536 Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Angie spent a lot of time trying to convince herself her drinking wasn't the problem. Her journey in sobriety led her to trust in a power she struggled to understand. Her what happened when she finally let go, surrendered her will, and opened her eyes to signs all around her. Thanks Angie, for sharing your story! Check out our sponsors.

Parenting teenagers through the tumultuous waters of divorce, separation, and co-parenting just became a little clearer thanks to our guest, parenting coach Mike Barsamian. With a rich background in understanding teenage behavior, Mike equates their journey to walking a tightrope, balancing precariously between the realms of childhood and adulthood. Together, we unpack the concept of "code switching" as teenagers navigate varying rules and values in each parent's home. Mike offers actionable advice on establishing consistent routines, helping parents create a supportive environment amidst familial shifts.As we explore the journey of parenting through divorce, Mike sheds light on the challenges of rebuilding self-esteem and identity when an ex-partner's influence might be negative. Emphasizing the transition from nurturing young children to guiding teenagers, we discuss the PACE method, which fosters emotional regulation, accountability, and empathy. The marathon metaphor serves as a reminder that the parenting journey focuses on supporting teenagers into adulthood without seeking personal accolades, helping them develop good judgment and a robust sense of identity.Empathy and collaboration emerge as vital themes in improving communication and reducing conflict, particularly with ex-spouses and teenagers returning from visits. Mike shares strategies to avoid defensiveness and foster open dialogue through curiosity and empathy. We stress the importance of appreciation over admiration and encourage self-reflection to nurture stronger relationships. For those seeking further guidance, Mike offers resources and strategy sessions through PresenceSolutionsForParents.com. Engaging deeply with these insights can transform the parenting experience, making it both rewarding and effective.

In this episode, we'll be talking about Cassie Ventura and trauma. Cassie is someone the world first met beside one of the most powerful names in music and business. From the outside, everything looked glamorous, even like something to aspire to. But what unfolded behind closed doors was something much darker. As Cassie bravely took the stand years later, now a mother and no longer silent, she revisited the pain she suffered and the years it took to reclaim her voice. We're going to go through her lawsuit from 2023, her testimony in May of 2025, what abuse really does to the brain, and why the question shouldn't be “Why didn't she leave?” but “What kept her from feeling like she could?”Connect with Paige:Instagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrime TikTok: tiktok.com/@paige.elmore Facebook: facebook.com/reverietruecrime Twitter/X: twitter.com/reveriecrimepod BlueSky: reverietruecrime.bsky.social Intro and Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_officialSources:https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/diddy-cassie.pdfhttps://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1251&context=intuitionhttps://www.domesticshelters.org/articles/health/how-trauma-rewires-the-brainhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091302216300139#s0005https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/sean-diddy-combs-trial-live-updates/?id=121656142https://www.janiceklaw.com/blog/how-sexual-abuse-affects-the-brain/https://www.womenagainstabuse.org/education-resources/learn-about-abuse/types-of-domestic-violencehttps://psychcentral.com/health/effects-of-emotional-abuse#brain-impactshttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-bad-looks-good/202107/why-do-domestic-violence-victims-return-to-abusershttps://psychcentral.com/blog/liberation/2017/10/long-term-narcissistic-abuse-can-cause-brain-damage#4https://dana.org/article/the-abused-brain/https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-trial-striking-revelations-to-know-2025-5https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/sean-diddy-combs-trial-cassie-ventura-lawyers-live-updates-rcna206807https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/cassie-ventura/index.htmlhttps://www.verywellmind.com/the-cycle-of-sexual-abuse-22460https://people.com/escort-hired-diddy-alleged-freak-offs-speaks-out-message-for-cassie-exclusive-11744158https://www.charliehealth.com/post/the-long-term-effects-of-narcissistic-abusehttps://deadline.com/2025/05/cassie-ventura-sean-diddy-combs-trial-1236395063/https://cptsdfoundation.org/2020/06/22/the-neuroscience-of-narcissism-and-narcissistic-abuse/https://www.npr.org/2025/05/13/nx-s1-5396851/diddy-trial-cassie-sean-combshttps://www.shorelinerecoverycenter.com/how-domestic-abuse-affects-the-brain/https://apnews.com/article/diddy-trial-sex-trafficking-cassie-testimony-69c7a6ad766103e39c4f7f35df841205https://www.verywellmind.com/effects-of-narcissistic-abuse-5208164https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/sean-diddy-combs-cassie-ventura-trial/https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05/13/arts/sean-combs-diddy-trial-cassiehttps://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/may/16/cassie-ventura-sean-diddy-combs-trialhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj42nvrkgznohttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy71k1pee5ohttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9931748/https://www.harborchc.org/blog/domestic-violence-and-the-impacts-on-your-physical-and-mental-health#:~:text=The%20two%20main%20changes%20to,for%20memory%20and%20regulating%20emotions.https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1238225255/domestic-violence-is-now-recognized-as-a-leading-cause-of-traumatic-brain-injuryhttps://biausa.org/public-affairs/media/domestic-violence-as-a-cause-of-tbihttps://www.allianceforhope.org/family-justice-center-alliance/news-archive/commentary-domestic-violence-how-trauma-impacts-the-brain-and-behaviorhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9931748/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.

In this episode, Colin Rule interviews David Mandel, MA, LPC, the creator of the Safe & Together Model, a transformational approach to changing how systems and practitioners respond to domestic abuse when children are involved. With more than 35 years of experience in the domestic violence and child welfare fields, he has identified how a perpetrator pattern–based approach can improve the ability to partner with survivors, intervene with perpetrators as parents, and improve outcomes for children. David is also the founder of the Safe & Together Institute, which works with governments and NGOs across the globe, including North America, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Through their live training, organizational consulting, online learning, and trainer certification, the Safe & Together Institute provides organizations and systems with a wide range of practice change tools. The Model has proven its relevance to multiple sectors, including family court, substance use, law enforcement, mental health, multi-agency efforts, and other disciplines. David has written or co-written numerous journal articles, book chapters, and position papers, including his most recent one on the alignment of the Safe & Together Model with the children's best interest framework. The Institute's work is regularly the subject of research studies, including a current project examining the relevance of the Model in a First Nation context in Australia. He has just published his first book, Stop Blaming Mothers and Ignoring Fathers: How to Transform the Way We Keep Children Safe from Domestic Violence, which is available online through Amazon.com.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Evelyn about her marriage to a cheating manipulative narcissist. At first, Evelyn felt her husband had a bit of a drinking issue, but once they had children, Evelyn realized the issues ran deeper than addiction. Evelyn's husband needed to be the center of attention, and if he wasn't going to get it from her or the kids, he'd get it from someone else. Despite therapy (which became weaponized) and attempts to save the marriage, Evelyn realized she needed to leave for her and her children's well-being. It's a story of manipulation, intergenerational trauma, intimidation, religious beliefs, financial leverage, gaslighting, kids as extensions, infidelity, codependency, and weaponized therapy.

Sara Sherbill's powerful memoir "There Was Night and There Was Morning" takes its title from the book of Genesis, establishing a profound metaphor for her life's journey from darkness to light. As the daughter of a respected rabbi who terrorized his family behind closed doors, Sarah lived a "split-screen reality" - presenting the perfect religious family image to the community while enduring horrific abuse at home.The weight of this duality crushed Sara for decades. As the eldest of five children, she felt responsible for maintaining the facade of a wholesome religious lifestyle while privately suffering at the hands of her father. This burden of secrecy and performance dominated her childhood until she finally reached a breaking point in high school when concerns for her mother's safety led her to alert authorities.What makes Sara's story particularly compelling is her unflinching examination of the complex relationship between religion and abuse. Her father specifically sought the rabbinate hoping it would "keep him in check," suggesting he possessed some awareness of his darker impulses. This revelation illuminates how religious structures can simultaneously provide cover for abusers while offering victims a framework for understanding their experiences. Sarah doesn't condemn religion itself but shows how it can be weaponized by those seeking control.The redemption in Sara's story comes not through forgiveness or reconciliation with her abuser, but through finding her voice. After discovering her father's abuse had expanded beyond family to include young women in his Florida congregation, she began publishing essays about her experiences, eventually culminating in this memoir. Through writing, Sarah transformed shame into strength and silence into power, freeing herself from carrying the burden of her father's actions with the profound realization: "I was not the man who did this... I'm just his daughter."Ready to break your own silence? Sara's journey from trauma to redemption shows how naming our pain can be the first step toward healing.

In the new novel The Names, a woman named Cora is stuck in an abusive marriage. She has a new baby son, and is faced with three choices. She could name him Gordon after her husband, which is what he wants. She could name him Bear, which is what her daughter wants. Or she could name him Julian, which is what she wants. The book explores three different versions of the future of this family, depending on what name Cora chooses. Author Florence Knapp discusses her novel.
