When love feels perfect but ends in tragedy—what did we miss?
On this episode of Murder in the Morning with Tony Brueski and Stacy Cole, we dissect the chilling psychology behind relationships that turn deadly. Joining us is therapist Sonnet Daymont, currently authoring When Dangerous Feels Like Home, a memoir on healing from trauma. She explains how emotional abuse often begins in silence—with over-the-top affection, manipulation disguised as kindness, and patterns that echo past pain. Why do some people keep choosing danger over safety? What separates emotional immaturity from calculated cruelty? And how can early red flags help us stop these tragedies before they escalate? From the eerie calm of love bombing to the invisible trauma of childhood that shapes who we fall for, this conversation cuts deep into the disturbing truth behind crimes like Lori Vallow Daybell's.
