John Meehan was born in 1959. John was raised to be a conman by his father, engaging in numerous lawsuits and other scams. He went to law school, where he majored in being a complete scumbag to women. The author of this book, Debra Newell, did not trust her sense and her gut instincts when she met this man. He convinced her that he was a decent person, and she ultimately married him. Surprise, surprise, he was a scumbag. Her children did not buy what he was selling and hired a private investigator to uncover the lies and vile activities this man got up to. The author was shocked and upset to learn how taken advantage of she was and disappointed in her lack of awareness. She told Meehan she wanted a divorce, at which point he went off the deep end. Meehan wound up attacking one of the authors daughters, who stabbed him in an attempt to fight him off. '

This book irritated me. I found myself making a lot of faces while I was listening to this book at work. I think it is often easy for people outside of the situation to see the parade of red flags that people are giving off, but I cannot for the life of me understand why this intelligent woman with good enough vision to be an interior designer could not see these red flags. Thank goodness her children did, otherwise who knows what would have happened to her. I am glad that her daughter is safe. I do not have the patience or the tolerance to deal with a man like this. No thank you.
