Rerelease: The Return of Parker & The Petty Emotional Abuser

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Parker returns to share the story of her second abusive relationship with a petty emotional abuser. After leaving her first abusive marriage and being disfellowshipped from the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Parker was isolated from family, friends, and the support system she had known her whole life. When a new relationship moved quickly into marriage, she thought she had found safety. Instead, the relationship changed almost immediately. Parker’s husband used silent treatments, blame, financial control, intimidation, and constant punishment for perceived slights. He expected her to read his mind, made ordinary moments feel like offenses, accused her of being controlling, and turned his anger into something everyone in the home had to manage.
