Most days pass without consequence. We move through routines, errands, small talk, to do lists...unaware of how fragile the ordinary really is. But sometimes, without warning, an ordinary day becomes the one that changes everything. Because everything we are...our choices, our reactions, our instincts, gets revealed in those brief, irreversible moments. And sometimes… our choices are seemingly intertwined with another's. This is the story of a child, a stranger, and a moment that changed everything. Welcome to Episode 56, The Boy at the Mall.

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.
