The Sin City Serpent

Dear Diary & Listeners, There is nothing more difficult than losing a loved one.  The pain one experiences when they can no longer hug, kiss, smell, confide in, and share life with a loved one is unlike any other.  Imagine experiencing this pain abruptly. There's just one difference, your loved one isn't dead. They ran away, entirely aware of the pain they knew this would cause you.  How does one manage the stages of grief and the confusion intertwined in such a malicious act- at the hands of someone they trusted?  It's fucking hard, but it is possible. I am proof.  This inaugural episode of The Dichotomy Diaries is called The Sin City Serpent. You will relive with me; meeting the Mormon/Latter Day Saint (LDS) man I married. We will dive into the spiraling, dark world where his career choice lived. You will experience the love-bombing, narcissistic tendencies, and financial abuse and manipulation first hand. Together we will dissect how deep trauma bonds are formed. And how trauma responses can look different for everyone.  You may find yourself, like me- asking these questions... Why does she offer love to those who treat her so poorly? Why does she exhaust herself for the sake of others' comfort? Why does she anchor her "home" in another person rather than within herself? These questions and more will be answered throughout Season One.  If you're looking for "The Tea", you have come to the right place. Every episode released will get you closer and closer to the center of what just might be, the cruelest love scam of all time. Stay tuned for surprise BONUS episodes featuring special guests and the highly anticipated upcoming episodes featuring the NINE WOMEN who DICK got to first; and how all of this was unknown, until now. If you're looking for an amazing story on True Crime, Narcissistic Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Financial Abuse, Manipulation, Sex Work, and Spiritual Abuse. You're in the right place. Brace yourself, this is just beginning.   With Truth, Courage, and Pain, Amanda Arnier, MLS   WE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR SEASON TWO'S STORY!  If you or anyone you know has experienced anything similar and is willing to share, please click the link below to schedule a time to chat with me.  Season Two Story Pitch Call Email: TheDichotomyDiaries@yahoo.com Music & Sound Production: Ashley England Patreon: The Dichotomy Diaries Merch: The Dichotomy Diaries Podcast Storefront YouTube: Video Recordings of Episodes!

When host Amanda meets Dick, the charming Mormon man from Las Vegas relentlessly pursuing her via social media for months, she never could have imagined the whirlwind that would follow. What starts as a passionate romance quickly spirals into something far more sinister. The Dichotomy Diaries isn’t just about your “run-of-the-mill” divorce—it’s about seven women, all unknowingly connected by the same predator, sharing their raw, unfiltered stories of betrayal, manipulation, and abusive games disguised as love. Season One pulls back the curtain on The Dichotomy that is Dick; as Amanda and his other victims untangle the dark layers of deceit he’s woven. On the surface, he’s the charming, devoted Mormon, but beneath that facade lies a man entangled in the deeply hidden and taboo world of financial domination, secret escorting for men, and compulsive gambling. Together, these seven women expose not just the abusive games he played, but the resilience it takes to emerge from them. Join The Dichotomy Diaries as we dive into firsthand accounts of survival, twisted relationships, and the journey to rise from the ashes. These aren’t just stories—they’re proof that truth is often stranger than fiction.
