It absolutely did. And I remember the next morning at breakfast, and I promise I'll answer your question. When the next morning at breakfast, my mother said to me, I have to say to you, you told me so much last night, but I don't remember any of it. And I said, but that's just it. That's the whole point of this, is that it's too hard to hold.

My best friend always says, make sure you let everyone tell their own story, like their part of the story. And that was one of the things I realized in going to tell my family. And it was the hardest part too. I had to say to them, I'm going to tell you something, but also I can't hold it for you. So I can't then come and mourn and grieve it with you. You have to mourn and grieve it.

And then we can grieve in the relationship together. And that's part of the separation that I think that happens with the abuse. And so when I said, I don't know how I'm going to tell my parents this, this is the hardest thing I can ever tell my parents. And I thought that would be the worst day of my life.

But my dad turned to me and he said, after all of it, just stoic like, and I think you all read it, but I love saying the line. We might have missed the first part of your life in this way, but we're not going to miss the second half. I love that. I love that. And what I would say about your daughters is my children are right about the same age.
