Experience working with both adult and child victims.

One of the hardest things for survivors to bear is feeling that they were partly to blame, either because they were groomed, coerced, or too young to give consent.

Time to leave the subject and move on to what's currently happening. We'll see if Phelan is a changed person or if he continues to be evil. I'm of the opinion it will be the latter because he's already laying the groundwork to swindle either Kevin or Jason or both. Would Kevin be so naive to listen to what he's saying when he's only known him for a couple of days?”
I think the Anna /Phelan story was far fetched from start to finish, and she would have been far better having Gary face the consequences of his attack and going to the police, but didnt she get dressed up because they were supposed to having dinner as part of the transaction?
Why on earth doesn't she just tell Kevin?

If I stumbled across Audrey lying in pain with equipment all over the floor, knowing that a break in had happened over the road a week ago I would be inclined to think it had happened again. (or at least ask

)
