From Dark Topic Plus - with purpose.
This episode is about domestic violence. It is pretty heavy, and I said i'd not release it. But I am because I was told it might help. Thank you!

A strange kind of Xmas special for DT listeners.
These eps are a fly on the wall of a seedy bar experience. Tales from the Bottom Down is a DT Exclusive on Patreon and Apple +. I think it's worth the risk sharing this one. Enjoy or not. You can find more of the notorious Deadbug at www.youtube.com/@DEADBUGsays
With this episode we will give a rare trigger warning for those who are on the line with what they consider truly offensive. Instead of editing things out, TFBD is about shooting from the hip, press record and go, then puking it out warts and all. We accept that people do have different tolerance levels and this ep certainly turns things to eleven and there are some very brutal elements to this episode, please keep that in mind before pressing play.
1)The Peculiar Case Of Randall Hopley
Randell is kinda like a super hero, looking out for your children, except he don't wear a cape and you don't want him climbing through your window but if you see an empty diaper package on your floor, it's too late, he's already been and gone!
2). The Lawson Family Massacre
Christmas 1929 meant a lot of things to a lot of people, the Great Depression had hit America hard leaving the dollar bill worthless and left a lot of people with nothing under their Christmas tree's but lint. To many in the town of Germanton North Carolina the Lawson family were to be admired, they even had enough scratch to have their family portrait taken, a privilege reserved for the affluent, but little did anyone know, that this would be the last time they would be seen alive and the portrait a horrible reminder of the day the reaper got greedy!
