    You are way off! You said yourself you are not in the know about the family’s history and the situation.

    One of your main points was privacy. Do you think they hadn’t talked about it already behind closed doors?

  • Nick Hartbauer

    Why would you have an episode with a person who has been listed as a suspect in numerous domestic violence reports, kicked out of his specialized unit for misappropriating resources to violate people’s rights, and then fired from his police department for assisting a domestic violence suspect continue to terrorize his victim?

  • Bill and Megan are spot on! I divorced a HCP 10 years ago, yet we continue to end up back in court over and over again at his hand. Bill and Megan’s experience, shared though this series, is very validating if you have ever experienced splitting, gaslighting, and/or any of the many forms of abuse HCP’s deal out to their targets. These episodes are well worth the listen if you are dealing with a high conflict personality in your life!
