Rerelease | Inez & The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Inez shares how childhood scapegoating, emotional invalidation, and the belief that she had to earn love shaped the vulnerabilities an abusive partner later exploited. He presented himself as caring, empathetic, and deeply devoted, using love bombing, future promises, and stories of his traumatic past to gain her compassion and trust. As the relationship progressed, praise turned into put-downs, care became control, and vulnerability was met with punishment. Inez describes jealousy, gaslighting, guilt, sexual coercion, circular conversations, silent treatments, and repeated abuse cycles that slowly depleted her confidence and self-care. Her story explores reenactment, trauma bonding, and how an abuser can study someone’s deepest wounds before using those wounds to keep them trapped. It's a story of intergenerational trauma, reenactments, jealousy, control, sexual coercion, gaslighting, love bombing, empty promises, abuse cycles, future faking, guilt, denial, mirroring, self care, self discovery, circular conversations, silent treatments, childhood scapegoating, emotional invalidation, beliefs, ghosting, minimization, denial, rage, addiction, and invalidation. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses animal abuse and sexual coercion. *** Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
