Sep 10, 2026 · 1h 3m
Summary
Chad Cullum recounts his marriage to Misaki, who subjected him and their children to escalating domestic violence and gaslighting. After Misaki was arrested, Chad discovered his best friend, Anthony, was secretly living with her and sabotaging his custody case. The situation worsened when a court-appointed evaluator, Shannon McShane, fabricated evidence and threatened Chad to secure a 50/50 custody split. Chad investigated McShane and exposed her fraudulent credentials and impersonation of a government employee, leading to her dismissal and a state Attorney General investigation.
