Love Bombed into Loving a Narcissist – A Journey from Illusion to Reality

Episode Description: Love Bombed into Loving a Narcissist – A Journey from Illusion to Reality

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Living My Truth with Shonnie, I share my journey of being love-bombed into a toxic relationship with a narcissist. From the perfect beginning filled with promises and affection to the manipulation, betrayal, and emotional abuse that followed, this is a story of heartbreak, healing, and rediscovery.

I open up about how he used my vulnerabilities, manipulated my trust, and even involved my son in his lies, making promises he never intended to keep. I reflect on how his need for control disguised as love left me questioning my worth and doubting myself, while cycles of gaslighting and blame kept me tethered to him.

Through prayer, boundaries, and self-reflection, I found the strength to break free, realizing that real love doesn’t manipulate, control, or tear you down. If you’ve ever ignored red flags or felt trapped in a toxic cycle, this episode is for you.

Join me as I share my lessons, my faith, and my hope for those still searching for a love that uplifts and respects them. You deserve more. Let’s get into it.
