Dear Diary & Listeners,
There is nothing more difficult than losing a loved one.
The pain one experiences when they can no longer hug, kiss, smell, confide in, and share life with a loved one is unlike any other.
Imagine experiencing this pain abruptly. There's just one difference, your loved one isn't dead. They ran away, entirely aware of the pain they knew this would cause you.
How does one manage the stages of grief and the confusion intertwined in such a malicious act- at the hands of someone they trusted?
It's fucking hard, but it is possible. I am proof.
This inaugural episode of The Dichotomy Diaries is called The Sin City Serpent. You will relive with me; meeting the Mormon/Latter Day Saint (LDS) man I married. We will dive into the spiraling, dark world where his career choice lived. You will experience the love-bombing, narcissistic tendencies, and financial abuse and manipulation first hand. Together we will dissect how deep trauma bonds are formed. And how trauma responses can look different for everyone.
You may find yourself, like me- asking these questions...
- Why does she offer love to those who treat her so poorly?
- Why does she exhaust herself for the sake of others' comfort?
- Why does she anchor her "home" in another person rather than within herself?
These questions and more will be answered throughout Season One.
If you're looking for "The Tea", you have come to the right place. Every episode released will get you closer and closer to the center of what just might be, the cruelest love scam of all time.
Stay tuned for surprise BONUS episodes featuring special guests and the highly anticipated upcoming episodes featuring the NINE WOMEN who DICK got to first; and how all of this was unknown, until now.
If you're looking for an amazing story on True Crime, Narcissistic Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Financial Abuse, Manipulation, Sex Work, and Spiritual Abuse. You're in the right place.
Brace yourself, this is just beginning.
With Truth, Courage, and Pain,
Amanda Arnier, MLS
