And, um, they're both Christians, and...

They have three kids and now grandkids.

They don't like this stuff.

So I still talk to them frequently, and they're always trying to help make intros, get this covered.

So the mainstream media eventually followed, but that was not who wanted to tell this story initially.

In fact, the woman I mentioned, who I acquired her research,

and put it in binders.

She had taken the story, she did four years of investigating this, and then she took the story to Vanity Fair, and they said, oh, we have abuse fatigue, we just did a story on Catholic abuse.

So she gave up on it.

Fortunately, you know, we got connected.

It was a year, almost a year to the date after Trey died because my therapist I'd been working with when Trey was not doing well.

So I had little kids, all my hats, you know, day job stuff.

And I was going to visitation hours in psych wards or visiting Trey in rehab.

And it got to the point where I was getting unhealthy.

Right?

I'm big sis, but I'm also mom.

And I'm also stewarding this foundation role I have.

And all these boards, you know, like I couldn't just full-time take care of Trey.

But everywhere we went failed him.

Um, mental health system's a mess.
