This is my 59th episode and my theme of the month is Good for Her February. Where the trauma and torment women, children, and men go through doesn’t have to end at her suffering. It might be a fantasy to get revenge in the way the movies show it but it’s a cathartic escape from the reality we live in when justice is rare and even when it is prosecuted the consequences rarely fit the crime.
