  • Revolting

    Oh my God, how am I able to get in touch with Purcy? I honestly cannot believe someone out there has the EXACT same story as me. My boy is in Sweden because of the exact same set of circumstances as you set out. I am now going through my second round (Ricer v asplund threshold rules have recently changed)..I went back to get ammended orders. The court told us they want to fully reopen it. So I am very optimistic because she has since been unmasked as a liar..I would really love to connect with y... more

    On the last episode the guests were critiquing woman’s appearances and making comments about how rape can’t happen in a marriage… This podcast isn’t helping children. This isn’t child focused. Championing these opinions is dangerous!

  • This is what the world needs to hear

    Purcy thank you for your efforts to get our side of the story in the public domain.

    Everyday the courts have the same game being played and the only difference is the characters are different. Same outcome day in day out. Hopefully we can force the system to change in our lifetime and the rules are changed to prevent our grandchildren have to play this game.

    The power women have is completely out of control. Fathers are handicapped from the moment this game kicks off and there’s no chance of ... more
