The ongoing moves and now new needs to counter from mistakes I made to agree with my narcissists mother outside of court months back. Now I have to counter in hopes of not losing 25K.

I had the opportunity to speak with A. Dean about his experience with gaining custody over his child due to domestic violence and his new book titled "Men Do Cry".

This episode details the delays and the wrenches thrown at me over the last couple of weeks with the final days of owning the marital home come to an end. How the process is going with dividing up shared items and how I have been sticking to my boundaries with being consistent. Knowing when to bend and what I feel comfortable with. And also the big news that My children have FINALLY met my partner as we prepare to blend our families. The stressors and pressure of that battle is finally coming to a close.

I had the pleasure of speaking with an interviewing Barnaby and Matthew O'Connell. They are the filmmakers of a recent film receiving a lot of buzz titled "The Pickup Game". Many of the qualities and characteristics of the people portrayed in this documentary fall in line with some red flags I have discussed on previous episodes of narcissistic personality disorder. This film is thought-provoking and at times emotionally triggering. This episode dives deep into the film and some of the thoughts I had as well as their reasoning behind how/why it was filmed in a certain way, what their thoughts were during the process of dealing with these individuals, and what they are looking to portray with this film. I was surprised to get in touch with them and am very happy we were able to bring this episode to you. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making it!

I am so happy to bring my sister to the podcast! Discussing our journey together during my darkest time and her perspective on support and some great advice for those in similar positions. Update at the beginning of the episode for myself and following Matt's updates with his court battles with his ex narc. Lots of information crammed into this episode. Hope you enjoy!

The story details some of my experiences of being hoovered multiple times back into a relationship with a narcissist. Some of the warning signs and some of the damaging outcomes the longer you allow it to happen are highlighted on this topic.

This episode is a documentation of some of the psychological manipulations and tactics my ex narcissist employed on my psyche throughout the course of our sex life together. This episode is a little bit more explicit than most as a fair warning. Listen with caution.

This episode serves as validation and frustration as I am navigating my own emotions, my children's growth and we'll being, attempting to transition, and the road blocks and delays that a narcissist presents. It's a warning for what to expect when attempting to distance and sperate from your toxic narcissistic ex from my current life experiences. I hope it is helpful.

There have been a lot of Court sessions up to this point for me but this one was definitely very stressful building up to it. The house is sold there's a lot riding on the decisions in court. The waiting game was pretty tough but I did get some answers that were positive. There are definitely some things to learn if you have still not taken your ex to court. I know you've heard it a million times but document everything! Enjoy!
