The Story

About the Documentary

Groomed to be Consumed is a raw, personal journey through survival and truth. Coming soon.

Greg Dukes grew up learning that love could come tangled with control, silence, and survival. By the time he married, the pattern already felt familiar.

She was warm at first. Catering. Uplifting. Then came the cold. Reproductive coercion. Financial sabotage. A false criminal charge. And a daughter caught in the middle.

This is not a revenge story. It is a freedom story.

Groomed to be Consumed follows Greg as he documents evidence, holds boundaries, and builds a movement for men who have survived abuse by women.

The Roots

Before the Pattern

Some stories start long before the relationship that finally breaks open the truth. This photograph anchors the documentary in memory, silence, protection, performance, and the early lessons a child absorbs about what love is supposed to cost.

In the film, the past is not used as an excuse. It becomes context, a way to trace how grooming, control, and attachment can become familiar before a survivor has language for any of it.

Created From The Thick Of It

Empath Math

Empath Math was born from lived experience. While navigating emotional chaos and manipulation, I built the tool I wished I had. What started as a way to find clarity in my own confusion has already helped people around me recognize harmful patterns, trust their instincts, and respond with confidence. My hope is that it continues helping people I'll never meet reclaim their peace, one conversation at a time.
