There were a disturbing amount of 'yes' answers from Mark there, and it's sad and surprising what we come to consider normal when we grow up surrounded by it.

Funny, though-- I was almost waiting for all of this to lead to an attempt to take Logan away from Mark, with the determination that Mark was obviously 'too damaged' to raise a child. Because that's the kind of thing that can also happen. :(

Oh wow this is amazing. I'd support something like this for sure.

Ok well now I just want to hug Mark and Logan!

I am so glad to see this character open to the possibility of doing a helpful program. So often it is minimized and normalized as a matter of self protection. If it's "normal" then no harm done right? It's hard to admit that shit was bad and abuse took place. I love any programs that can help bring healing to families.

Well done!! I enjoyed this a lot. The tension in the room was so easily felt, and the characters felt really real.
