It's not suitable for all audiences, especially those sensitive to themes of dating violence or domestic abuse. Listener discretion is advised. The WHEN DATING HURTS Podcast focuses on authentic experiences without sensationalism. Our goal is to educate on the many forms of abuse in relationships to promote safer lives. We avoid judgments and encourage empathy for survivors navigating complex ups and downs. Mae Scott's harrowing true story exposes the classic red flags of narcissistic abuse and domestic violence in marriage—from early warning signs she ignored before the wedding, to escalating manipulative behaviors, gaslighting, and the devastating role of toxic in-laws who enabled and exploited her trust. This powerful survivor account reveals how abusers groom, control, manipulate, use, and discard their victims, often with family complicity. Mae trusted her in-laws completely—only to discover they played a key part in the psychological and emotional entrapment. Key Insights on Abuser Tactics — Real-life examples of manipulation, love-bombing followed by devaluation, isolation, and post-separation abuse that many survivors face long after leaving. Building Empathy & Awareness — A compassionate, blame-free exploration of the challenges domestic violence and narcissistic abuse survivors endure, ideal for anyone seeking to understand intimate partner violence. In-Depth Multi-Part Series — This is Part 2 of 2, diving deep into Mae's journey from an abusive 19-year marriage, through her escape, to the long road of healing and reclaiming her life.
