Tina & The Dismissive Narcissist | Narcissistic Abuse

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Tina shares how a fresh start in Sicily became a sixteen-year relationship with a dismissive narcissist. At first, the abuser made Tina believe she had finally found someone who wanted to build a life with her. But once she stayed, the abusers promises turned into lies, and the person Tina fell in love with began to dismiss her needs unless they were convenient to him. And the longer she stayed, the more she invested in a future that always seemed just out of reach.
