Poppi & The Controlling Demand Man | Domestic Violence & Narcissistic Abuse

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Poppi shares her story of surviving twenty years of abuse at the hands of her controlling husband. Poppi met her husband when they were young, and even though he was showing controlling behavior early on, she felt pressure to be with him, which felt like an obligation after he kept showing his dedication to her. But this dedication was just a mask. Poppi's husband didn't love her. He only cared about controlling her.
