Rerelease | Courtney and The Intimidating Abuser
About this episode
Courtney shares her harrowing experience of surviving an intimidating abuser and the ongoing effects of coercive control and manipulation.
On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Courtney shares her story of surviving an intimidating abuser. What began as a relationship that felt exciting, protective, and full of possibility slowly became a life shaped by coercive control, blame, fear, sexual coercion, physical intimidation, and post-separation abuse. As the relationship escalated, Courtney found herself trapped in no-win situations, isolated from parts of her support system, and constantly adapting to someone who needed power, dominance, and control. Even after the marriage ended, the abuse did not. It continued through custody battles, manipulation, harassment, and the emotional toll placed on their children.
