Yeah. A hundred percent. It's a hard subject to talk about even when you're a parent and you're dealing with it. So yeah, I just appreciate you sharing all this with us. As a dad, this is also really important for me to understand because child sexuality is such a complex... By the way, two words that I was not expecting to put together ever. It's such a complicated topic.

He was also impressed by how directly you confronted such an uncomfortable issue, how you used the incident to continue to teach your kids about appropriate boundaries, keeping open lines of communication.
