Beneath the Jersey: Surviving Abuse, Finding Strength, and Co-Parenting with a Narcissist (Part Two)
Welcome back to That's… What She Shed! This is part two of Sara’s gripping and courageous story. In the first part, we heard about her struggle to feel love and approval from her family, how that desire shaped her identity as a skinny star athlete, and how it ultimately intersected with addiction.
But today, Sara opens up about a much darker chapter—her abusive marriage. She shares the horrifying details of how her ex-husband weaponized faith, using God as a means to manipulate and control her. Sara describes the physical and emotional torment she endured and what finally gave her the strength to leave.
In addition, she reveals the ongoing battle she faces in co-parenting with a narcissistic ex-husband—a daily challenge that requires immense strength and resilience. This episode is raw, real, and incredibly powerful—a testament to Sara’s bravery in reclaiming her life and stepping into her power.
Let’s dive in.
