Josephine's* Story, Part 3: The Emotionally Abusive Marriage

On today’s episode, we’re continuing my conversation with emotional and narcissistic abuse survivor Josephine*. If you haven’t listened to the first two parts of our conversation yet, now is a good time to hit pause and catch up on Part 1 and Part 2.

In Part 3 of my discussion with Josephine, she opens up about her relationship with a man who ultimately raped her, which was followed by a marriage to a different, yet equally abusive guy. Josephine’s first husband was neglectful, battled gambling and opioid addictions, and plunged their family into financial ruin just as Josephine became a mother to their baby daughter.
