They ghost you, block you, abuse you—then pop up like nothing ever happened. Why?In this eye-opening episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we unpack one of the most confusing behaviours in narcissistic abuse: when the narcissist reappears with selective amnesia and zero accountability. Whether they send a flirty text, a casual “hey,” or act like everything's fine after days (or weeks) of cruel silence, there's always a strategy behind it.Www.brighteroutlookcounselling.com.au I explain exactly what this behaviour means, why it's not love or remorse, and what you can do to protect yourself when they try to slither back in.

Can childhood aggression be an unexpected plea for help rather than a precursor to a violent future? Join us as we welcome Davina Hehn, a respected behavioral analyst, to shed light on the nuances of child aggression, particularly in the tumultuous waters of high-conflict separations. Together, we unravel the complex web of emotions that children might express as aggression due to their struggle for communication and emotional regulation. Listen in as Davina shares her expertise on why this behavior is more about a cry for understanding than a predictor of future violence, and how recognizing problematic adolescent aggression can serve as a crucial step in offering the right support.Family dynamics play a pivotal role in addressing aggression, and this episode uncovers the importance of involving the entire family in the therapeutic journey. We discuss how aggression often stems from feelings of isolation and how taking away a child's communication tools can exacerbate these feelings. We offer practical strategies to help families create a cohesive support network that includes trusted mentors and adults, emphasizing open communication to prevent escalation and foster mutual growth. Delve into the discussion on how transparent conversations about significant decisions, like sending a child away, can maintain a child's sense of agency and security.In times of crisis, finding the right response can make all the difference. Here, we highlight the benefits of mobile mental health crisis centers and creating a supportive care team over traditional police involvement, which can sometimes intensify conflicts. Our conversation touches on the power of community support and the impact of parental narratives on child behavior, encouraging proactive crisis planning and engaging children in discussions about trust. As we wrap up, Davina, also known as Aady Space, shares her mission of helping others find balance, inviting listeners to explore her compelling online presence for more guidance in navigating life's challenges.

Pregnancy should be a time of joy and anticipation, but for thousands of American women each year, it becomes the most dangerous period of their lives. In this eye-opening conversation with Professor Elizabeth Tobin-Tyler of Brown University, we explore the shocking reality that homicide is a leading cause of traumatic death for pregnant and postpartum women, accounting for 31% of maternal injury deaths.Professor Tobin-Tyler draws on her unique background spanning both law and public health to explain how pregnancy often triggers escalating violence in abusive relationships. When an abuser's need for control meets the shifting attention and resources that accompany pregnancy, the results can be deadly—particularly for Black women, who die at five times the rate of white women from homicide during pregnancy.We dive into the complex systems that fail pregnant survivors, from healthcare settings where brief appointments and the presence of abusers make disclosure difficult, to legal frameworks that inadequately protect women from armed abusers. The conversation explores innovative solutions like medical-legal partnerships that bring lawyers into healthcare settings to address both medical and social determinants of health simultaneously.The ripple effects of this violence extend far beyond individual families. Children exposed to domestic violence face lifelong health consequences, creating an estimated $8 billion annual economic burden across healthcare, education, and criminal justice systems. Despite these staggering costs, funding for research and services continues to face cuts.You'll come away from this conversation with a new understanding of how Medicaid access, firearm regulations, and community-based services can save lives, along with practical advice for supporting pregnant survivors in your own community. Professor Tobin-Tyler challenges us all to stop normalizing violence against women and to recognize pregnant women as valuable human beings in their own right—not just as vessels for their children.

Pakistani women are increasingly pursuing legal avenues against acts of domestic violence. Their claims, however, are often dismissed through character allegations that label them as 'bad' women in need of control, or 'mad' women not to be trusted. Domestic Violence in Pakistan: The Legal Construction of 'Bad' and 'Mad' Women (Oxford University Press, 2025) by Dr. Daanika Kamal explores why the subjectivities of women victims are constructed in particular ways, and how these subjectivities are captured and negotiated in the Pakistani legal system.Drawing on feminist poststructuralist accounts relating to the use of gendering strategies in institutional and disciplinary settings and based on an analysis of over a hundred case files and judgements, seventy-two interviews, and court observations in three cities of Pakistan, this book shadows the experiences of women victims of domestic violence in both criminal law and family law proceedings. It captures and offers empirical insights in relation to gendered subject formation in discursive spaces; ranging from the use of societal narratives that minimise and silence women's harms, to the deployment of police mechanisms that assist in maintaining the 'secrecy' of familial violence, and the application and enactment of boilerplate lawyerly strategies to present alternative legal 'truths.'Amidst regulations of the public versus the private and understandings of rights versus duties, Domestic Violence in Pakistan explores how these practices construct the victim-subject of domestic violence in a way that not only subjectivise her, but also secure her within the field of that subjectification; setting her up to be viewed by the judiciary through the lens of the allegations applied to her. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Website: JoanieMiller.com This episode is a little different from the Entrepreneurial Mission, but one we wanted to share. Deb had the pleasure of meeting Joanie Miller at the Emmys gifting suite in LA and as they were talking about the empowerment messages of the global 262 book, Joanie opened up and shared one of her own. She survived her own experience of domestic violence and is on a mission to help others. Many years after she freed herself from her own traumatic experience, her girlfriend was trying to do the same and didn't make it. Even though it's tough emotionally to share, Joanie's mission is to do just that in order to help all those experiencing domestic violence to break free from their situations and start living a life of love and safety.Music mentioned in this episode: “Hotel California” by The Eagles

Jessie was 21. Molly was 11. Two days after their joint birthdays, their mom, Jill, was murdered by Molly's father. In the hours, days, and years that followed, there was little room for grief. Jessie and Molly were expected to keep going — and they did. But that forward momentum came at a cost.  It's been nearly 20 years, and only recently have Jessie and Molly begun to revisit what happened and what it's meant to live with unspoken grief and unacknowledged trauma. As part of that process, they discovered a manila envelope packed away in storage - inside were eight children's book manuscripts written by their mom in the 1980s. Finding those stories sparked a new chapter of connection with their mom and motivated them to work towards getting them illustrated and published.   Note: This conversation includes descriptions of domestic violence, stalking, violent death, and suicide. If you or someone you know needs support, see the list of resources below.  In this conversation, Jessie and Molly talk about: What their mom was like and what she meant to each of them Their vastly different experiences of the day she was killed  What stood in the way of them naming what they lived through as abuse and trauma  How grief became something they held privately, even from each other  The impact of finally receiving permission to feel and grieve  Their efforts to get their mom's children's stories published  Follow along and support their project: Barty Books on Instagram GoFundMe: Everyone Has A Story To Tell.  Dougy Center: https://www.dougy.org National Domestic Violence Hotline - 1-800-799-7233 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline - 988

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Join us for an enlightening conversation with Gloria Vanderhorst, a distinguished psychologist whose five decades of experience provide a rich tapestry of insights into the world of male emotional expression. Gloria brings her depth of expertise to the forefront as we examine the constraints American cultural norms place on men's emotional vocabulary, beginning in childhood. Through her work with preschoolers, adolescents, and adults, Gloria unravels the complexities behind societal expectations that often suppress the natural emotional range boys are born with, impacting their capacity to form deep, intimate connections as they mature.Our discussion navigates the critical role of authenticity in relationships, particularly within the dynamics of co-parenting and negotiation. Gloria sheds light on the societal pressures demanding fearlessness and competence from boys, and how these pressures diverge from the expectations set for girls. We also tackle the nuanced experiences of gender-fluid children and the educational system's part in exploring gender identity. Moreover, we introduce a creative journaling concept that encourages self-expression beyond mere words, highlighting the therapeutic power of art in emotional processing. This episode challenges perceptions and inspires a broader understanding of emotional expression across life's various dimensions.

On Tuesday's show: The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld an historic penalty against ExxonMobil for pollution at its Baytown oil refinery. We hear from the group behind the long-running lawsuit on behalf of those who lived near the plant.Also this hour: In April, Houston police called ICE agents on a woman who'd dialed 911 to report domestic abuse.

Send us a text     There's an old saying: "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't."It's a fitting lens for this episode because sometimes, even when something is terrible, it's familiar. Today, we're going to examine two cases with a chilling common thread: domestic violence that didn't just leave bruises or broken bones but left behind permanent, life-altering disfigurement. And yet, perhaps even more shocking than the brutality itself... is that the victims, against all odds, took their abusers back.     We'll navigate the tangled web of trauma, hope, fear, and survival and in doing so, perhaps offer strength, courage, and a voice to those still trapped in the shadows of abuse.

In Australia, 90 per cent of women who have sought support for domestic violence have experienced financial abuse, and experts say migrant women are more at risk. - Australija se suočava s nacionalnom krizom obiteljskog nasilja. To može doživjeti svatko, ali neke su skupine posebno ranjive, uključujući migrantice. Medijski naslovi često prikazuju samo neke oblike nasilja. No, postoje i drugi, manje vidljivi, ali jednako štetni oblici nasilja, poput financijskog zlostavljanja. U Australiji, svaka četvrta žena doživjela je obiteljsko nasilje od strane intimnog partnera. Među onima koje su potražile pomoć, čak 90 posto navodi da su bile izložene financijskom zlostavljanju. U novoj epizodi SBS Examines bavimo se upravo financijskim zlostavljanjem, s posebnim naglaskom na migrantice koje su često dodatno ranjive zbog jezičnih, pravnih i kulturoloških prepreka.

They were quickly attached at the hip and eventually moved countries together when school finished. However, red flags were already popping up.

The battleground of family court has become a dangerous landscape for survivors of domestic violence and their children. When abusers wield the controversial theory of parental alienation syndrome as a weapon, protective parents often find themselves losing custody to the very people they're trying to escape.Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer of Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, pulls back the curtain on this troubling dynamic, explaining how a scientifically disputed theory from the 1980s continues to influence family court decisions with devastating consequences. We explore how protective behaviors—teaching children to recognize danger, set boundaries, and seek help—are frequently mischaracterized as attempts to "alienate" children from an abusive parent.The stakes couldn't be higher. Research shows children exposed to domestic violence face staggering long-term risks: they're 50 times more likely to abuse substances, 74 times more likely to commit violent crimes, and six times more likely to attempt suicide. When courts fail to recognize post-separation abuse tactics—using children as informants, undermining the protective parent's authority, or manipulating children psychologically—they inadvertently become accomplices in continued trauma.But there is hope. Ms. Guerreiro shares powerful insights about effective interventions that help children heal, including attachment therapy, trauma processing, and teaching critical thinking skills about healthy relationships. She offers practical guidance for rebuilding connection and stability, from creating family traditions to implementing consistent boundaries that counter the chaos of abuse.This episode challenges us to reconsider how we protect our most vulnerable citizens, advocating for family courts that prioritize children's safety above all else. Whether you're a survivor navigating custody issues, a professional working in family services, or simply concerned about child welfare, you'll come away with a deeper understanding of these complex dynamics and the tools needed to make a difference.

Domestic violence is often dismissed as unpredictable, but the data says otherwise. Red flags — like strangulation, firearm access and prior abuse — frequently precede fatal outcomes. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Captain Eric K. Threlkeld of the Eddy County (New Mexico) Sheriff's Office, who makes the case that proactive, well-trained investigators can identify these signs and intervene before violence turns deadly. Captain Threlkeld brings decades of specialized experience in domestic violence investigations to this conversation, including work with a nationally recognized domestic violence response team in Colorado Springs and the launch of a similar program in New Mexico. He outlines practical steps first responders and investigators can take to treat every domestic violence call as a potential homicide case. From leveraging victim advocates and lethality assessments to tracking co-occurring abuse patterns, this episode delivers field-tested insight for every officer.

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. DomesticShelters.org offers an extensive library of articles and resources that can help you make sense of what you're experiencing, connect you with local resources and find ways to heal and move forward. Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.domesticshelters.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to access this free resource.  If you need help moving due to domestic violence, Shelter Movers may be able to help you.

What happens when protection orders fail? In November 2019, Tiffany Hill did everything by the book to protect herself from her abusive husband. She reported his violence, obtained no-contact orders, and worked closely with law enforcement. Yet she was still murdered in front of her children and mother while sitting in her car outside an elementary school.Former Washington State Senator Lynda Wilson had already recognized this deadly gap in victim protection. Years before Tiffany's murder, Wilson had introduced legislation for GPS monitoring with real-time victim notification—a system that creates electronic "geofences" around domestic violence survivors. Had this technology been in place, Tiffany might have received a warning when her estranged husband approached, potentially saving her life.This powerful episode brings together three key figures who transformed this tragedy into lifesaving change: Senator Wilson, whose own childhood experiences with domestic violence fueled her advocacy; Sergeant Tanya Wollstein of the Vancouver Police Department, who investigated Tiffany's case and now implements the monitoring program; and Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Lauren Boyd, who fought for higher bail to keep Tiffany's killer behind bars.Their conversation reveals both the frustrating limitations of our current legal system—including Washington's constitutional "right to bail" that allowed Tiffany's killer to be released—and the promising results of the technology that now bears her name. Today, approximately 240 domestic violence offenders in Clark County wear ankle monitors that alert victims when their abuser comes within 1,000 feet, with early data showing reduced recidivism rates.Through heartbreaking details of Tiffany's story and illuminating insights into how the justice system works (and sometimes doesn't), this episode offers a masterclass in turning personal tragedy into community protection. Listen now to understand how this groundbreaking approach to victim safety might be implemented in your community.
