Jodi is one of the most recommended marriage therapists in the area but there’s something about her that feels - wrong.  “Every relationship needs to die in order to be reborn.” Her pattern is simple yet effective. Find the husband’s addiction. Each husband has one. It’s usually watching too many explicit videos, staring too long at his female coworkers, or just having too many inappropriate thoughts.  Find the addiction. And stomp. It. Out. Shame the husband for how he’s ruining the family and give the wife strength and power to run away from him… straight into Jodi’s arms.  It almost seems like that is her intention. And it seems to work like a charm - every single time. And just maybe - if Jodi really tries… maybe the men will even end up in prison. Then the wife will have nobody but Jodi.  Youtuber / family blogger, Ruby Franke, should be very familiar with this. Because now all she has - is Jodi.    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
