And this potent mix of shame, fear, and grief, I believe, holds people like the Hartmans back from ever facing the truth. You heard a bit from my folks in Season 5, but today I wanted to share more of my conversation with them. Because particularly after meeting Chalice last season, I've come to believe that courage is contagious. And my parents are two of the most courageous people I know.

We've all spent years wondering where things went wrong with Megan. Was there a moment we could have helped her before this all escalated? For me, those disquieting memories go back to high school. But for my parents, they go back much earlier. We've certainly gone back through our own history with Megan many, many times.

And I think one of the things that's the most complicated for me is that I have many really nice memories of her from when we were growing up. And I wonder if you could just sort of talk about what was Megan like when we were kids? What are some of your memories of her when we were kids?

She was relatively just a normal kid. But very early on, we started to see symptoms of becoming a hypochondriac, how she wanted the attention of illness very early on. And the earliest example was when she needed glasses or she said she needed glasses. And so we took her to an eye specialist and an optometrist and he said she doesn't need glasses at all. She's not telling the truth.

I think I'm fairly observant and I thought there's something strange about this. And then when Megan went to the alternative school, she became absolutely obsessed with one of the students who was severely handicapped and sort of started saying that she was the only one who could understand what he was trying to say and spent a lot of time with him and wheeled him around.

And every time we went to the school, she was with him. And I thought, this is either someone incredibly compassionate or someone who just wants to be the center of medical attention. So I started to see things very early on. I didn't see anything, but I just felt that something was not right.

Just to clarify what my dad is talking about here, my sister and I went to this hippy-dippy alternative elementary school. Kind of unconventional for my straight-laced parents, honestly. But this place was awesome. There were always a ton of parents in the classroom. We went on a million field trips and did wacky art projects and, for some reason, called our teachers by their first names.
