Über diesen Titel
In an era before social media, the danger of oversharing was just as potent. It's a risk young people take when they're isolated, a risk I took nearly forty years ago. In the painful, confusing vacuum of the 1980s, I had no one: no confidante, no guide to help me understand what was wrong with me.
Through this episode of This Authentic Life, you'll see a predatory pattern emerge.
The man I met that day targeted my loneliness. He was kind, or skillfully pretended to be, and immediately cultivated a fierce sense of trust. But that connection was a trap. He began to systematically dismantle my self-worth, twisting my achievements until I believed they were impossible without him. I bought the lie: I was articulate, I was smart, I would "knock it out of the park" on a contract, but only because he believed in me, only because he made me stronger.
I believed he understood me. I thought he saved me. I gave him credit for every success.
The terrifying truth? He groomed me, precisely according to his design. That initial encounter was not a coincidence; it was the moment I walked into the presence of pure evil.
