SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
There’s an old saying: "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't."
It’s a fitting lens for this episode because sometimes, even when something is terrible, it's familiar. Today, we’re going to examine two cases with a chilling common thread: domestic violence that didn’t just leave bruises or broken bones but left behind permanent, life-altering disfigurement. And yet, perhaps even more shocking than the brutality itself... is that the victims, against all odds, took their abusers back.
We'll navigate the tangled web of trauma, hope, fear, and survival and in doing so, perhaps offer strength, courage, and a voice to those still trapped in the shadows of abuse. This is Episode 55: The Devil You Know.
