Mom previously confided in Dad and her therapist about her family's dark past. But, the story switches as she and the whole family deny anything of the sort. This is the truth.

The Truth: Mom's family has a long and storied history of abuse.

Despite a letter from Mom's family lawyer, Mom had her therapist confirm her parents' abusive behavior. As a child, Mom sued for emancipation and called CPS over 35 times. Mom's sisters have gotten into 'physical fights' with their parents.

In addition, all of the siblings have been diagnosed with, and sometimes covertly medicated for, the same hereditary mental illness.

This cycle of abuse is not a healthy dynamic for Evie.

Mom herself wrote an account of the abuse she suffered as a child and requested her therapist give statement as to its veracity, "[Grimma and Grumpa] have a long history of being abusive (custody was taken away from them when she was a teen.)"

The Truth: Mom's youngest sister confided in Mom with concerns that medication was being "slipped" into her food – an abuse continuing to the next generation of Walsh siblings.

Mom's younger adopted sister texted her she was concerned their parents were 'slipping' Lithium and Seroquel into her food. Lithium and Seroquel are often prescribed for the hereditary condition commonly diagnosed in the Walsh family.
