In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon examines Twyla’s story and how relentless harassment can leave victims searching to blame themselves. When someone provokes a reaction and then uses it as evidence against you, guilt can overshadow the abuse that came before it. Brandon also explores the financial cost of leaving a home you love, the despair of seeking help from systems that become part of the harm, and disengaging from someone who treats every interaction as winning or losing.
