Deliberate deception vs “delusional disorder”
This is a story of a man who deliberately deceived everyone he was close to. He went to incredible lengths to perpetuate a deception that drove a permanent wedge between another man and his biological children and was clearly motivated by his desire to have an adulterous relationship with another woman. The fact an accomplished journalist chose to believe (or at least chose not to disbelieve) such an obviously false conspiracy theory long after she should have known better is disheartening. The fact the same journalist looks for a mental illness excuse for the deception highlights that she is willing to give more credit to the fraudster than her own father who was denied the opportunity to have a relationship with his children. A very disappointing piece of “journalism”.

What a heinous amount of lies to cover up an affair. If this was all true, that family would be put into something similar to a witness protection program. Awful listen.
