a family member says, too little, too late, sorry. But instead, to have them really understand that they were in a torturous situation too. They were put in a torturous situation too.

Right. It's also, I think, an incredibly powerful message to send a child that someone who was so sure of something before has now changed their mind based on new information or based on just being willing to look at it. And when kids see adults actually turning around and saying, I'm so sorry, it is transformative.

It is so hopeful that there are people in this world who were colluding, who were letting them be harmed, who may have been fostering it to a certain degree in ways that they're not even aware, but just emboldening the person to feel they could get away with it because they felt supported and believed in doing it.

Then they get to see their parent being willing to do something very uncomfortable for them. And that is actually very healing. Because they were put through so much that was uncomfortable for themselves, for their parent. And so then it's a way, I think, to really align with the fact that they were both victimized. by the same disorder. And that can be very unifying.

And it's important to make that relationship happen and not make that person too scared to come forward, too scared to connect. Because why do that to them if they really are saying, oh my goodness, I now see. That should be welcomed, really.
