Why involve my child?

The therapist read it first.

The letter did not discuss sex.

Marriage details.

No excuses.

It said:

I believed things your father told me that made it easier for me not to ask questions I should have asked. None of what happened to you was your fault. I am sorry my choices became part of a situation that hurt your family. You do not need to respond.

Chloe chose not to read it at twelve.
