She basically just started sobbing and told me everything. She had been in the car with her daughter that day and she had said something about her husband breaking a pattern of abuse because he was abused, sexually abused as a child. And she was so glad he was breaking the pattern of abuse. And that was when her daughter decided she couldn't take it anymore. And she had to tell her.

She would ask me, you know, what do I do? And I basically told her, well, you kind of have to pretend in your mind like he's dead. You need to grieve it like a loss because the person you knew and the relationship you had and the future that you were planning is gone. We talked about that a lot. How do I do that? And I said, I can't tell you how to do that. I don't know how to do that.

I texted Sarah and I said, listen, if this is the route that you're going to go down, I can't be a part of this. I can't understand how you could do this. And if you want to explain it to me, I'm willing to listen, but I can't support this. And she said, I don't need to explain my feelings to anybody. I am doing what I'm doing and it's not my responsibility to make sure that you understand.
