Rerelease | Canva & The Smear Campaigning Abuser
In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Canva shares the story of a relationship shaped by gaslighting, financial exploitation, isolation, intimidation, and a relentless effort to portray her as the abusive partner.
Canva entered the relationship believing she had finally found the person who made her feel safe, accepted, and understood. After she became pregnant, that connection changed. Her partner stopped contributing, dismissed her feelings as hormonal and irrational, controlled her access to money and transportation, interfered with her friendships, and repeatedly trapped her in situations where she felt powerless.
When Canva reacted under extreme pressure, he removed everything that had led up to the reaction and used her response as evidence that she was unstable and violent. She began recording conversations because his retelling of events was so different from what she remembered experiencing. Even after the relationship ended, he continued spreading a narrative that she was abusive and was keeping their children away from him.
It's a story of self defense, gaslighting, recording conversations, taking zero responsibility, minimization, infidelity, physical abuse, blame shifting, rage, stealing, victim playing, restraining orders, and custody.
