I Helped Her Get Revenge — Then Realized I Was the Last Name on Her List

She never asked me to take revenge. She never told me what to do. She just shared her trauma piece by piece, letting my anger and sense of justice fill in the gaps. What felt like protection slowly became destruction — and I didn’t realize who was really in control until she began to disappear from the fallout.

This episode explores how weaponized trauma turns empathy into a tool, how silence can be more manipulative than demands, and how doing the “right thing” for the wrong reasons can cost you everything. As the consequences pile up and the truth comes into focus, I’m forced to confront the most devastating realization of all: I wasn’t helping her get revenge — I was the revenge.

A psychological thriller about manipulation, misplaced righteousness, and the quiet danger of believing a story too completely.
