    We meet accomplished novelist and loving mother Andrea Dunlop as she embarks on a journey to understand the series of events that tore her family apart.

We see Andrea become captivated by the story of Hope Ybarra and go along with her to meet Hope’s father, sister, and brother: the first people Andrea has ever spoken to who’ve actually lived through a case.

Great, but hard to follow which story is which.

2 different stories are told by women going back and forth who sound the same.

Riveting

I was hooked from the very first episode. thoughtful, tragic, well made. sadly this is an issue that most people don't know about and is probably much more prevalent than we can even imagine.

She needs to be truthful

Andrea is not a victim of MBP and it did not ruin her family. Many years ago, Andrea’s mom made allegations against my wife. My wife had to be evaluated for MBP and does not have it. We have moved on from my in-laws (for our safety) and years later my father in-law made false allegations that resulted into another CPS incident. After a year of stress on my family, especially my children, a superior court judge ruled in our favor after reviewing the facts. NBC & King5 did an investigation and published a story with the courts findings. Yet, Andrea is a victim.

does it even exist?

I don't think this podcast actually exists. rumors of it yes, promises of it coming, certainly... but where is it??? the author keeps saying here it is, everything says its here. but nowhere does it actually exist. a month? of delays with no explanation when she's said it's there.... but where is there? I'm beginning to think the author is the one with a weird form of MBP that takes the form of supposed mystery podcasts that never materialize.
