A thorough look into the machinations of a psycho

After knowing the story of Debra Newell and John Meehan, this podcast reaches further back in time to his first family. Hearing the contempt in his voice on the telephone recordings gives me chills and yet it’s helpful to actually hear the manipulation happening in real time. If anybody needs a reminder of how abuse doesn’t always sound like abuse and that these types will go to any lengths to destroy lives without limits or remorse, this is for you. The bonus episodes with the coercive control expert deconstruct the sometimes confusing and continually destructive words and behaviour are helpful in identifying problematic and dangerous behaviour. Thank you Tanya and family for doing this podcast. You’re helping a lot of people.
