Julie Tampa ,

Excellent story telling about the strength of women

Go Nina and crew. Thank you for telling this story. I’m so happy your mom had the strength, courage and resources to escape when she did. I’m so sad your brother and of course anyone touched by your dad - had the unfortunate experience of being stuck in his malevolent orbit. Your brother - I pray for him and all of you - including the two people he brutally murdered. The letter to your dad was incredibly powerful. Thank you for this important story.

Response to Wilfulgreen

I thought this podcast was very honest and insightful. It was done with great respect for all those involved. Nina , I hope we hear more from you soon! As for your review “Dumb”. Reserve your judgement and maliciousness for your own life. You attacked this woman without cause. You called her life and family members dumb. If you didn’t like her podcast nobody forced you to listen. Why not just listen to something else? I doubt anyone found your inane review helpful or informative. You Sir need to move out of Mommy’s basement and stop projecting your self esteem issues on others.

( w children) going after a young man just out of teenaged years
