About How To Destroy Everything

This is the true story of Richard Jacobs – a narcissist who destroyed a childhood, a marriage, a family, and a community. He sued every sentient being on the face of the earth, got banned from restaurants, and inspired a support group composed solely of people he traumatized. He stole notary stamps, hacked emails, forged signatures… and won a U.S. Supreme Court case. He was also my dad. Join us each week as hosts Danny Jacobs and Darren Grodsky will shift between past and present to explore the lasting impact of Richard Jacobs.

Our mom loved to iron, so we'd save our ironing for mom. No, I don't, I don't miss mom. I never, ever, ever, ever has missed her, ever, I, I think there was a relief when she died because the abuse stopped, because it didn't matter.
