Violent Valentine Special

Sometimes we think we're in love and we'll rationalize anything to keep it, even to the point of our own destruction. This episode is devoted to music focusing mostly on domestic violence. If you or someone you know is involved in an abusive relationship (note: not a consensual BDSM relationship) please call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Or visit www.domesticviolence.org
