Ep 117: Reproductive Coercion with Lynn Stroud

How does a narcissistic and abusive partner get you stuck in a relationship?Most of the time it is through love bombing, moving extremely quickly, and coercing you into a larger commitment, like living together, getting engaged or married or having a baby.But what does it look like when the victim says “no?”Oftentimes the perpetrator will find another way, like with reproductive coercion.In this episode, my guest, Lynn Stroud and I dive into a lesser discussed topic where a perpetrator of abuse does all they can to get their partner pregnant leaving the victim in a precarious spot. A place where they need to make decisions that will impact their lives forever, no matter what choice they make.Lynn is a survivor of sexual assault, coercive control, narcissistic abuse, and reproductive abuse. She aims to educate the world about the danger of reproductive coercion. Lynn was fortunate enough to escape her abusers, but will continue to share her story in the hopes that better laws surrounding coercive control will protect others.Please leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.
