Even after everybody, including himself, was dead, he wanted to be the victim and martyr and to control the narrative from beyond the grave.

They complain about “modern women” and wanting to go abroad to mainly third world countries to find women They claim they want young women because they are more fertile than older women who are in their 30s. That’s a lie! These men don’t care about having kids. They want inexperience young women they can abuse and she can’t go anywhere because she’s trapped. They want women who can’t speak the language and is 100% dependent on him so they can be abusive and she can’t leave. They hate modern women because women are earning education/degrees/ making their own money. This mean when these men come with their foolishness and man baby attitude women are more likely to leave because she doesn’t need him for anything.

@@marygoff3332 She was a victim, same as her kids. All murdered by someone she once loved. Foolishly, yes, but that's what love can do. We've all been guilty of that at some point, I'd venture to guess. The thing is, she's no longer here to speak for herself. She did not start the fire; she died from it, as did her kids. You are indeed victim blaming. The *only criminal* here was the abusive Coward who murdered them all. She tried her best to get him the help he needed. That's what a loving (even ex-) wife & mom typically does in the face of mental illness, when it's the father of her children suffering the symptoms. She wasn't the only one fooled by him. Eventually, after enough gradual dismantling of the psyche via abuse, it's difficult to extradite oneself, esp financially. Sounds like, having suffered financial abuse as well as the physical, sexual & emotional kinds, she didn't want to present an even-greater financial hardship to her parents, until she saw no other choice. By then, it was too late. We gals are never *More Endangered* than when we try to leave a *broken man* who thought he *owned* us. Those folks who are thinking suicidal thoughts should seek help, *ASAP.* If they're Still Determined to go out anyway, they should make sure to leave this planet *SOLO.* The heartbreak left behind by that 1 demise should be the only pain created. To create more is an act of evil. Loving the wrong person is not an act of evil. My guess is that she came to realize his issues & felt pity for him due to whatever early experience(s) so twisted him up. She never knew he'd sink to the level he did. As a Mom, i'm certain that if she had seen *Any Glimmer* of her future, she'd have *SPLIT,* with her kids, Never to be found by him. She was simply fooled, and it was too painful for her to take off those rose-colored glasses even as they darkened to gray, b/c she once loved him & she had a decent soul. Others who didn't love him were also fooled, not knowing the depths of his darkness. Guys like these can make you believe anything, for as long as they want. They only occasionally give certain people a view of their True selves, as a form of Domination & Control. Everyone else is snowed b/c they Never get that view, and only see the charming side. It's why some exes are seen as "crazy", by those who never got the scary view. I was married to someone like this for a decade. When he left me for another woman, he tried to blame it on my post-partum hormones. Our toddler was 4 & I'd given up my career at hubby's command. I had no choice if I was to be "seen as a good mother". That decision left me little financial freedom to escape the growing abuse. But at least he seemed to love being a Dad. He only occasionally hit them (& left welts that lasted for days, at which point I'd threaten divorce & he'd turn on the love again, briefly). And he never actually hit me intentionally. He only pulled me out of our bed my hair one time (when I tried to seduce him away from his mistress & back into our marriage). He didn't mean to almost smother me that other time, he was only "playing". And he only kicked me in the head once, but that was an "accident". We make up All Sorts of *excuses* when we love someone who is mentally ill and needs help. We went to 4 different psychologists/psychiatrists b/c he didn't want to hear what any of them were saying. One put him on antidepressants, and all but that one warned me he wasn't capable of change. But none ever told me I was endangered. Which I was. If he'd thought he could get away w/ it, I'd *not* be here. That's the only reason I am. He knew better, after all the doctor visits. So he merely replaced me w/ a younger model, *Thank God.* I'd been groomed to accept abuse from early childhood. It was normalized, growing up in a family that believed "all females should suffer b/c of what Eve did 5K years ago" with a piece of fruit. The family I created w/ the wrong guy lives 2K miles away from my family of origin, who don't know their grandkids. But that was the best protection I could provide for them, to my lingering guilt & shame. I ended up in a not-better situation, just to escape my original abusers, who deeply resented creating me. I didn't take my vows ever suspecting my hubby would eventually feel the same. I actually Loved him deeply b/c of his charm & good looks (we were 24 & 27 when we married after 1.5 years of dating). I loved that he was strong enough to stand up to my overbearing parents. He was also a survivor of child abuse, like myself. I felt bottomless empathy for him, as he'd been battered far worse than I had been (my beatings stopped when a relative threatened to call CPS). Problem was, I got therapy, and he didn't believe in it. So, everyone had to walk on eggshells around him, lest they taste his wrath. He's no longer on this planet (gone from a sad neurological disease, after a long battle against it). Only his children miss him, even though he occasionally hurt them, as well (long before he became too sick to do so, and had to rely on them instead. *Karma exists).* We can only speak kindly of the dead, in our family. So, he's rarely mentioned nowadays. But my kids confirmed they're *Excellent Souls,* b/c they treated him with a level of compassion that I found challenging to muster until close to the end of his life. I'm proud they grew up with such good souls, despite the abuses they suffered early on at his hands (I fought him tooth & nail just to retain my 50% custody after he received a surprise inheritance from a distant relative). It was my job to protect them from harm, but I couldn't stop all of it. Betting this lady would say the same, *if only she could.* I DO blame myself, Still, and I always will. I could have chosen a better, healthier dad for my kids, had my own psychological development not been impacted by early abuse. But, would I still have had these same kids? IDK. All I know is that i wouldn't trade mine for anything in *All Creation.* 💞 Still, I know this family's fate *could* have been suffered by mine, as well. Despite my determination to protect them with all the resources i could muster. Sadly, often times, an abused woman's resources aren't enough, and there are too few shelters around to help them all. So, no fair stealing another's life, and no fair blaming victims who *cannot speak* in their own defense. This guy was a rotten ba*tard, period. Judge *only* him. May his victims rest in *Joyful peace,* forever protected from any further pain. 💙

My ex husband got a forensic psych exam that showed some very disturbing traits. It was NOT recommended that he have unsupervised time with the kids by the person who evaluated him. He did not fool her. At that time, he had visits with the kids at a supervision center. The judge saw the report not recommending unsupervised visits and gave the kids fully unsupervised visits, including overnights (despite the fact that my ex was homeless at that time). He refused my lawyer’s attempt to show more evidence. We are hanging in there. But there is something very wrong with the family court system. I thought it used to be a fluke when that happened, but I’ve heard this over and over again, since actually seeing more. He recently drove drunk with the kids, starting the car before my daughyer was in and almost running over her foot. When I sought emergency custody, I was told my kids’ words were hearsay and “good luck” because he has to be caught by police in the act. I was able to get him to put an interlock device in his car, so he has to do a breathalyzer before the car turns on. But…. It’s been very traumatic. It would have been nice if our system better protected kids from unsafe parents.

And more people here die of accidental drug overdose being mistaken medication, prescribed wrong medication, given the wrong medication either in a hospital by a pharmacy or given it in a hospice/nursing home then illegal drug use. The leading killer in Australia is heart disease. My years investigating major crimes and intelligence the only time I have ever heard “underbelly” is to do with the Australian movie series “underbelly” regarding the criminal world in the 80’s - 90’s when police corruption was high. But now that the Moran’s are all dead and all related to that crime family and the bike gangs have all been disbanded we are really only dealing with the usual criminal drug activity and keeping our ears to the ground on crime in general.

May Hannah and her children rest in peace. The way their lives were taken broke our whole country’s heart.

Only ways to deal with a narcissist: leave, or get them before they get you. Unfortunately some narcs won’t let go, they follow and stalk former partners.

Thank you so much for sharing the horrible abuse victims of narcissist abuse experience every day. They don't work, play the victim, only care about themselves and are extremely abusive on so many levels. Narcissistic abuse is a huge contributer to domestic abuse and death of innocent victims. Thank you so much Dr. Grande!

There's just nothing in his eyes. That poor girl and her babies. I remember when it happened. Can't help but cry. There needs to be more protection for victims.

Narcissists will mentally set their victims on fire, leaving behind a charred husk of the person the victim used to be... this psycho did it literally too...

Your title for this episode uncalled-for, these innocent victims died a horrible death.

These people..unalive yourself..but of course they can't bear the thought that their wife could have a life away from him..and see the babies as THEIR possessions..not as people in their own right..this is shocking and disgusting..

Were you crying when Katica Perinovic or Margaret Dale Hawke killed all her children? Oh, you don’t know? Oh, she must be victim of abuse? Oh, it must not be her fault because she’s a woman? I see…

What a horrible , horrible man . Evil ! Those poor kids and their mom . 😢

You lose yourself and do everything to protect his feelings. These videos make me feel less lonely. Thank you for sharing.

The best thing I learned last year is that Narcissists can't be cured. The only answer is to move on. I left my husband when he screamed at me that he was "Proud to be a Narcissist ". That's like saying "I'm proud to be an adult 3 year old." I will always love my Husband..but he put himself on the absolutely not list. Worsening substance abuse was also involved. No one can cure these things for another person. I have no regrets over the time I spent with him...lots of good memories..However, it's important to be able to leave when the writing is on the wall.

I’m a psychologist who live in the same suburb (a few streets away) from where this happened. The psychologist that wrote the letter for him was not doctoral level. She also appeared to be practicing outside her scope of practice as per the inquiry into this incident. She is currently not practicing. This has and continues to shake this community and has been a catalyst for changes in domestic violence laws. It is heartbreaking that this had to occur for these changes to be realised.

Why cases of Margaret Dale Hawke or Katica Perinovic who killed their entire family weren’t any catalysts? I can explain why: because DV is a huge multi-billion dollar business and they’re openly anti-men. I believe when Hanna was murdered DV executives bought a nice champagne to celebrate an upcoming money rain of government funding!

Oh god $20,000 sounds cheap compared to the pathetically overpriced weddings I have been to.

Tragic story that I very much relate to. Fortunately for me I guess my ex husband (a diagnosed sociopath) was obsessed with being liked by everyone, so the only people who saw his other side were me and our children. He never yelled at wait staff or had a lot of problems with other people. He commited crimes, but didn't get caught, and he used people who were either consenting to it for whatever they gained or they didn't know, and he lied to everyone, but as far as I know no one else has a clue who he really is or has been victimized by him. On the other hand, it was clear that he wanted me and our two kids wiped off the face of the planet. It almost happened to me in 2001 when I had a sudden coronary dissection flat lined and during an NDE chose to live for my kids. Fifteen years later the trauma from years of his abuse did lead to the death of our eldest son at 20 in 2016, but as he was gobbling up the attention of a grieving father no one knew that to him it was a victory. He'd never wanted to look like what he was, but his heart is no different from Rowan's. I'm irrelevant to him now, but I've known for 20 years that he'd kill me if he knew he would never get caught and the same was always true for our kids. .

She was only 20 when she met the 31 year old abusive husband of another woman. (which was lucky she got rid of him). Her willingness to assist in wrecking a marriage cost her dearly. And her willingness to accept later that he weaseled out of paying child support for the son of his first marriage as soon as the two of them had their first child. Maybe his ex wife did not dare sue him.

@@SpringVioletta A 20 year old is an adult. Sorry. Just stop the excuse making. She is not some child. Also, she has family. This is just stupid. And we wonder why women make bad choices when basically you have enablers like you everywhere. If you ask more from people, you will get more. if you tell them you expect basically no accountability, you will get that. That is why this current generation of women is probably the most infantile generation we have ever seen. It is never their fault. Never the consequences of their own actions.

This is horrific 💔 Poor Hannah and those beautiful children. Soooo grateful every day that I didn't marry or have a child with my abusive, narcissist ex!

This happened right near where I lived! It was absolutely horrifying and to think a father did that to his children and the mother of his children is just awful.

So many red flags. This is a horrific case. All I can think of is how terrified and how painful the children's deaths were.

I remember this when it happened . It was devastating. The mist dangerous time for a victim is when they leave the abuser . RIP to this family .

How horrible! His first wife and son were so lucky to get out with their lives. I would have been happy that he didn't provide any child support-- the less contact with that monster, the better.

How sad and horrifying! Those poor children and Hannah!

“What could have prevented this?” Hannah would be alive today if her parents had brought her up with wise counsel, and that being, do not involve yourself with a married man. What a senseless tragedy!

That’s so disturbing. I hope the children went quickly. I can’t imagine their final moments. RIP ❤️‍🩹🥲

The kids went shopping with the cards and were so excited but when they went to pay they were empty. It was so sad. He also used to use his wife’s nudes and print them out and put them in his car and threaten if she didn’t come now the kids would see them in his car. He was a piece of shit dog!!!

Such intense rage and selfishness. Such rampant resentment. Wonder why and how? Sweet children and Hannah: rip.

Unfortunately a recurring theme is that even when the abused person suspects or believes their abuser may kill them, they often still allow personal contact. We all have to increase our awareness and then especially follow through with a solid plan to stay safe. As you say Dr G, in this case the wife and children were dealing with a man who was very determined to exterminate his family. A very very sad story. Thanks for this insight and reminder, as it may make a difference for somebody’s safety in the future.

It is very common to dismiss “red flags” in a relationship. When someone is behaving in a hurtful or inappropriate manner the last thing we think about is mental illness/ personality disorder. One of every three people have some kind of mental disorder, (that’s only the documented cases). The number one MOST IMPORTANT THING is to REALLY get to know someone before letting them get close to you. 💔😢🙏

It’s truly frightening just how many of these types of people, cross your path, daily! You may be sitting next to one right now…….

Oh my God that’s the most horrific murder suicide I’ve ever heard of 😢my dear Lord

I once dated a girl like this who’s ex was abusive and never paid her or their children any support. I wanted to marry her and adopt her children, but she refused. I wanted to assume the role of a father. She refused, citing that her children need to see what their father was about. I said I don’t think he is is a good influence over them and she still refused. So I broke up with her because she was not an adequate spouse in my opinion due to her decisions. The best thing I ever did. I’ve known many women who don’t want to move on from abusive exes.
