Domestic Violence. It's something I've talked about time and time again. How a simple argument can turn sour faster than a pat of butter melts on a hot biscuit.

Luckily, most of the time it gets worked out.

The argument just fizzles.

Everyone just goes to bed, sleeps it off,

and hopefully the next day can calmly talk about it and get whatever issue resolved.

Some of the time, though, it just doesn't happen like that.

Things go way too far.

The argument turns fiscal.

One partner hits the other or both.

On the rare occasion, when you add in drugs or alcohol, they can turn deadly.

And in the ultra rare instance, where there may be an added factor of mental illness,

well, that can just be the worst of all.

And that's exactly what I'll be talking about in this episode.

Truly, some of the worst of the worst instances of domestic violence.

I know I put a disclaimer on every episode in the show notes,

and it should also be implied that every single episode is going to have something

that's just extremely rough and graphic to listen to, but episode is going to have something that's just extremely rough

and graphic to listen to, but this is going to have some stuff that even I hate hearing

about.

This episode today will involve kids.

So for those of you that don't like listening to those types of things, I hope you can

tune in next week for the rest of you.
