Dimming The Gaslight
About this episode

Last week, Wendy shared the story of her marriage to a man she wouldn't fully recognize as a narcissist until years after the divorce.



This week?



Everything explodes.



A Facebook message arrives from one of his mistresses. At first, Wendy thinks it's a scam. Then the woman starts sharing details that only someone on the inside could know.



What follows is a phone call that completely shatters reality.



💔 A secret live-in girlfriend.


💍 A ring purchased for another woman.


🤰 A hidden pregnancy.


📱 A second phone.


🎭 Years of lies told to multiple women at the same time.



And somehow... that's only the beginning.



As Wendy compares notes with the woman she once blamed for the affair, she realizes something chilling:

Neither of them actually knew who this man was.



Part 2 is one of the most jaw-dropping episodes we've ever released.
