Just Scratched the Surface
This is a truly fascinating story and I’m frankly quite shocked it was only 5 episodes. The host is a reporter but I don’t think she should’ve told her own story. I wanted more details from an outsider perspective that she just couldn’t provide. Plus it was unnerving to have her be so at peace with the subject. This man ruined her mothers life, and perhaps her and her brother could move on and get out but it’s devastating that she never could. Stan’s horrifying lie is hard to explain away with just a posthumous diagnosis. The fact that he was just living with his wife when he claimed to be at the place of hope chilled me to the bone. This story was deeply disturbing and perhaps the book gives more detail but this podcast glossed over a lot in favor of just saying “oh haha wasn’t that a wild time”. Deeply deeply traumatizing and I don’t think I could forgive the way she seems to have.
