Season 2 is a must listen for anyone. The story is real and makes you realize once more that intermit relational violence can happen to anybody. Beautifully told but such a sad story

Told in an annoying and way too ‘mysterious’ way. Just tell us what happened, don’t overdramatize and use suspense to try make it into a kind of movie. Also, why not explore the option of (spoiler!) the dad doing it knowingly and culpably. I would recommend listening to something else.
