The Demonic Dogfish

This week Stella shares one of our most chilling Dogfish tales yet; a whirlwind romance with a “demonologist” that starts with roses and love-bombing and spirals into coercive control, veiled threats, and a horrifying online violation. In the Dogfish Debrief, we break down how spiritual manipulation shows up in abusive dynamics and dig into the hard, practical realities of revenge porn—what steps survivors can take, where the laws still fail, and how community support can make all the difference.
