This. It's so fucking sad to think of her and other child actors going through what they have. The brain splinters in some cases. But even though I can empathize, there's no excuse for their actions as adults. All people, abused or not, are given moments of lucidity frequently. So time and time again they make to decision to keep going along.

Breaking with the masters would mean poverty, a "ruined" name, and possibly death. They don't want to be poor and ridiculed so the inner voice is ignored. But being poor and an social outcast can be heaven when your heart doesn't condemn you.
