And you have to be able to realize when people are lying or it doesn't make sense.

And she tells her, her cousin, I believe you.

And her cousin's face falls down.

Because clearly, she does not want to hear that.

Mary says, she wanted me to say that she was wrong.

I mean, no one wants to believe that their own father essayed them.

There was another cousin.

Mary really tried to get in contact with her, but they drifted apart.

Eventually, she runs into her own cousin at, of all places, Survivors for Child Abuse Conference.

Mary didn't even realize it was her cousin that she had been searching for and that cousin thought that Mary was ignoring her on purpose in the hallways.

Eventually, they exchanged emails, but Mary took down the wrong email, resulting in them losing contact for another year until finally they met up two years later and Mary asked her, were you essayed by our grandfather?

Because that's what Mary remembers.

The cousin says yes.

Not really expecting any sort of answer, she asks, did my father ever essay you?

The cousin tells her yes.

She says, he wasn't somebody who physically touched me, but almost coaching others somehow.

Taking pictures as well, encouraging others to be involved in sexual acts with me and filming them.

Which is exactly what Mary recovered in her repressed memories.

And she hadn't told her cousin this.

She had these memories of being filmed and that CSAM was being created.
