In this deeply honest episode of Wildly Her, I open up about one of the most confusing and painful dynamics in narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships: triangulation. Triangulation is a tool used to control, divide and manipulate. When communication is filtered through a third person, it can quietly erode trust, distort reality, and create distance between the people who need connection the most.

I'm getting very personal and giving real examples from my marriage of how triangulation showed up not only between me and the children, but also in other family relationships. I want you to know what it is and how it works. I talk about how this dynamic can leave us feeling fractured, misunderstood, and emotionally unsafe, and why so many of us don’t even realize it’s happening until much later.

This episode isn’t just about naming the harm. It’s also about healing. I want to describe it so that you can step out of it when possible, and what it looks like to repair relationships that were strained or damaged by being pulled into someone else’s narrative.

If you’ve ever felt caught in the middle, spoken about instead of spoken to, or watched relationships suffer because of manipulation and divided loyalties, then pull up a chair. This episode will help you recognize the pattern, understand its impact, and begin choosing healthier, more honest connection moving forward.
