This work of premeditated disclosure is in three chapters. Kaljo needed psychological closure to the end of a twelve year relationship. She decided to confront her former partner, with whom she had a son. Without telling him her intent, she asked if he would allow her to tie him up for a video she was planning to make. As a fellow artist, he agreed. After taking him hostage, Kaljo catches him off guard with her inquisition. She wants to know why their relationship didn't work. His emotional reticence and her piercing intuition are painfully familiar, even to those who would deny any truth to the pop psychology espoused in a book like Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Domestic Violence, however, is actually about love, specifically different kinds of love. Although the Q&A session is the central and longest chapter, it is sandwiched between chapters featuring Kaljo's son, first as he is the object of his mother's affection and then as he expresses the same affection toward his pet rat.
