The true story of a man who wreaks havoc on a community: “He taps phone lines, steals notary stamps, gets banned from restaurants, hacks emails, and forges signatures. He inspires a support group comprised solely of people he traumatized. In court, he references arcane British case law and submits literally thousands of motions to delay and obstruct, leaving anyone who stands in his way not only penniless but emotionally bankrupt and utterly destroyed. He was also my dad.”

What Happened?

This podcast is great. I even disagree with others. I did not find anything distracting and thought it had a high production quality. Did they get a movie deal? I hope so. I want to hear and maybe see more :)

Be patient

This podcast has a lot of potential. The impacts of narcissism on individuals, families, broader families and communities are extremely traumatic for those involved and unimaginable to those who have not experienced a narcissistic personality. There is so much to explore here, but they’re just scratching the surface. Tread lightly, be patient. There’s a story here that will connect with a lot of people and perhaps create a community of support and healing - especially for Danny. P.S. I’d really be interested in an exploration of Sandy’s perspective on raising children in that environment.

Fascinating story

I an so intrigued and want to hear more but I agree with other reviewers, the sound effects and music are overstimulating and I feel like I’m bracing myself to get through it. Please scale it back!
