Zoe Watts was shocked to discover the man she had been married to for 22-year was drugging and raping her.
Laura interviews Zoe and asks her to take us back to the beginning of their relationship- when she was just 17 and he was 28. He was charismatic, well-liked and seemingly the perfect partner. But as Laura asks more questions, she reveals a deeply disturbing, diabolical and dangerous man who knew what he was doing. This did not come out of the blue.
In this episode, Laura and Zoe unravel:
Grooming, love bombing and gaslighting
Strangulation and suffocation
Drug-facilitated rape
Stalking and coercive control
DARVO
Red flags disguised as romance
The “mask of sanity” and impression management
Those who backed up the abuse
Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of domestic abuse, coercive control, stalking, suffocation, sexual violence and drug-facilitated rape.
