In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Porsha about growing up as the lost child in a family shaped by abuse, alcoholism, enmeshment, and covert incest.
Porsha shares how she learned to stay quiet, disappear into books and activities, and survive by becoming as low-maintenance as possible. She also discusses the emotional burden of protecting a parent, the confusion of being sexualized and dismissed, and the long-term impact of being forgotten inside her own family.
It's a story of the scapegoat, golden child, lost child, addiction, anxiety, CPTSD, neglect, enmeshment, covert incest, physical abuse, emotional abuse, gaslighting, enabling, enmeshment, neglect, people pleasing, self blame, generational trauma, and much more.
*** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses covert incest (non-touching child sexual abuse) and physical abuse. ***
