Louise W. & The Enemy Creator

About this episode

Louise shares her experience of a long-term relationship with a narcissistic partner who created conflict and diminished her sense of self.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Louise shares the story of a 40-year relationship with a man who always seemed to be in conflict with someone else, until that conflict finally turned toward her. At first, Louise believed she was different. He could argue with colleagues, professionals, institutions, and family members, but with her, he seemed loving, principled, and safe. Over time, Louise’s life became smaller around his needs, his career, his battles, his conspiracy thinking, and his version of reality.
