I think my parents were ill, but they were good people at the core. And they probably really wish they could have done different and wanted to do different. So in a way, I feel like I knew that they loved us. We didn't hear that or know that from their words necessarily. But I felt at the time, I guess, like I wish I could do better, but they really can't seem to be able to. And now I understand that that's a process.
