Summary

In this episode, Ben moves back in with Athena after being caught in a lie about building a home in Fremont. But, just when things were back on track, Athena found out Ben had been stalking an ex-boyfriend of hers. Amber and Athena discuss a psychological manipulation tactic called FUTURE FAKING that was used by Ben - and other predatory men - to get Athena to take him back! Can it get any worse? It does.

While Athena's daughter is cleaning out the fridge in preparation for Thanksgiving, she stumbles upon two glass vials that are hidden in the refrigerator light bulb compartment. This discovery sets Athena off on an adrenaline-fueled search throughout the entire house!

Please Note: When launching this podcast, we used a faux name, 'Ben', for our ex-husband. Since then, we've revealed his real name 'Brandon Johnson' to protect other victims.
