I think it's hard because my family was telling me, my parents specifically, he's not drinking, he's not doing these things and he wasn't. I was like I'd like to, I don't know what to do, and she's like: well, it's really understandable that you're feeling this way, because you've been through emotional trauma and she was the first person that ever acknowledged that what I was going through wasn't okay.
