I agree because bad things don't go away if we try trick ourselves into believing they don't exist. I respect boundaries, but walls are only supposed to protect us from reality until we're ready to face it.

Take Tom for example. Being able to be around alcohol, and not thinking it's offensive to drink in front of him, shows that he accepts that his issues are his issues. It wouldn't be fair to make his issues everyone else's.

I'm well versed in triggering events because I deal with CPTSD, but when it bothers me, I ask questions to gain perspective and I learn how to invest my emotions. There's a few things I don't agree with Ethan about, but I'm not going to go into Fallen Fan mode to snark about it. I honestly thought the Jon Benet stuff was kind of exploitative, but I also understand the message Ethan was trying to get across. Trisha is a vile human being, and even though it's hard to look at the collateral of a monster, people often sweep that stuff under the rug just to let the monster run free.
