Josephine's* Story, Part 4: Co-Parenting With an Emotionally Abusive Ex

On today’s episode, we conclude my conversation with emotional and narcissistic abuse survivor Josephine*.

A reminder that if you haven’t listened to Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3 yet, now is a good time to go catch up.

In Part 4 of my conversation with Josephine, we wrap up her story by discussing her acrimonious divorce from her first husband, and how she eventually connected with her supportive second husband. Even though Josephine is in a healthy marriage now, she and her daughter are still victims of her ex-husband’s coercive control. We talk about how the systems that should have protected her, like law enforcement and the court systems, failed her and her daughter, and why victims must educate themselves as much as they can when separating from their abusive partners.
