Rebelle & The Vindictive Abuser
In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Rebelle shares the story of a marriage that began with coincidence and "fate". She was a lawyer, an athlete, and someone who had already survived more than most people ever face. She believed she was strong enough to handle almost anything. However, that belief became one of the things her future husband used against her.
What started as romance slowly turned into a life where Rebelle was managing everything while her husband avoided responsibility and made her feel unreasonable for noticing what did not add up. And when the relationship ended, the abuse did not. It escalated. What came next was betrayal, financial pressure, a smear campaign, and years of legal abuse.
It's a story of emotional abuse, gaslighting, manipulation, infidelity, cheating, legal abuse, post-separation abuse, weaponized incompetence, weaponized competence, stonewalling, silent treatment, blame-shifting, cycles, cycle resets, cognitive dissonance, victim playing, put downs, custody abuse, vindictiveness, and rebuilding after abuse.
