Irina Ember & The Lifelong Effects of a Manipulative Narcissistic Mother - Domestic Violence, Narcissist Abuse

Irina grew up under the rule of a narcissistic mother who wielded her brand of manipulative emotional abuse with the precision of a doctors scalpel. Over time, Irina began to feel defective, and unfortunately, that belief carried into her abusive romantic relationships as she got older.

Irina's story is also about her sister who died by suicide as a child. Irina's story is a witness to her life. 

*** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses in detail the suicide of Irina’s older sister due to her mother’s torment and also the graphic descriptions of Irina’s suicidal ideation. This episode also has many graphic descriptions of physical abuse in romantic relationships and sexual assault. ***
