How To Destroy Everything

Thoroughly enjoying this podcast. I eagerly devour each one as them come out. I have trauma (who doesn’t? ;) and don’t know how I’d process it on a public platform like this. So I applaud Danny for doing it. I agree with other reviewers that Sandy shouldn’t be badgered as much. It’s hard to know where the line is with things like this and I think some of that might be better done in a therapist’s office. Everyone abused by the narcissist deserves healing and I wish that upon all of you affected by Richard.

Wow! I’m picky but this is one of my top favorites! I could see myself in each family member! Even the dad! So interesting how much potential the had had but didn’t use it appropriately? At least in my opinion. I love that these two grew up together it really adds to the different perspectives and layers! Also omg the mom sounds so sweet! I’m sad for her that she was forced into a box and couldn’t explore her interests at a young age. Although the dad was cray cray and the mom was seemingly in crisis mode all the time- it seems they raised a great human! I love the opening up and talking about all the feelings. Thanks for sharing!

I have really enjoyed listening to the podcast and have stuck around since the beginning. However, I unfortunately somehow have listened out of order. Did they cover what the fall out was with Danny and his brother? I am assuming that he doesn’t want to be involved with the podcast but there are some missing pieces about why he was going to the Mother’s Day brunch but Danny was invited later.

I can see why Danny and Darren make such great friends for each other—the mutual care is palpable. It’s also incredibly important for navigating such tender territories. The podcast gives listeners a glimpse into a world of secrets and shame and survival that would normally remain behind the closed doors of propriety. I so respect Danny for his willingness to share his vulnerability with us all so that we too can grow in compassion for ourselves and the traumas we’ve experienced. First rate production value too.
