## Resource

Trigger Warning / Content Disclaimer This episode contains explicit discussions of heavy drug use, narcissistic manipulation, physical violence, and attempted murder. Listener discretion is strongly advised. From the outside, people always ask the same two questions about toxic and abusive relationships: “Why didn’t you just leave?” “Why are you still seeing this person?” This is one of those stories that makes those questions impossible to answer — until you hear Meghan tell it. In this no-holds-barred second part of a two-part survivor series on the When Dating Hurts podcast, Meghan pulls back the curtain on the insidious control, the twisted attraction, and the psychological prison that keeps intelligent, strong women trapped in dangerous dating relationships. You’ll hear how narcissism, substance abuse, and escalating violence can create a nightmare that looks completely different from the inside. Meghan answers the questions everyone wants to ask — honestly, painfully, and without sugarcoating. This is real. This is raw. This is why we do the show. Thank you, Meghan, for trusting us with your story so others can finally understand. Hosted by Bill Mitchell When Dating Hurts – Real survivor stories that expose the hidden dangers of modern dating. 🎧 Listen to Part 2 now 🔗 And subscribe so you don’t miss anything.
