Customer Reviews
Every parent should listen!
Thanks for being so brave. I believe so many people can learn from this podcast and possibly avoid the worse.
Really brave
This is a really brave story, Virginia and your sister sounds amazing and incredible.
My only feedback is that I am up to episode four and 11 minutes in , and it’s still a recap of the last four episodes. It’s making me a little frustrated. I’m skipping forward. I’ve heard it all before. It might just be worth considering not spending so much time recapping as I’ve just listen to the last three episodes.
I have noticed this with quite a few podcass from the Australian. It’s possibly their format. However, I don’t like it.
Way too repetitive and drawn out.
While Alex’s story is heartbreaking and I truly feel for Virginia I am so frustrated.
1.) Constantly going over and over the same information.
2. Could have been way shorter.
3.) I feel no sympathy for Alex and Virginia’s Mum. She knew that he was abusing the girls and did nothing. Same with their Nan. Women that know their children and grandchildren are being abused and do nothing are worse than abusers in my mind.
