Why Faithy doesn't apologize ..... and maybe can't

Faithy is truly a victim you know. She suffered horribly in Japan so I've heard when Czarina Maria decided to crush the royal family. Faithy has bad problems with alcohol partly becuse it runs in her family and partly because she's a volcano of pain that can't deal with it any other way. So like you say, I pity her.

But at the same time, the abused in the Famly is also the abuser. She did horribly treat Watchman as someone pointed out below. She hurt a great many people and she has never apologized. She calls her sister Deborah a liar when we all know that Deborah's book told the truth. And Faithy still defends her father despite everything.

But how could she come back and apologize? Really? The first question EVERYONE'S going to ask is did your father really abuse you sexually for years? Was it realy full intercourse from the age of 12 on? Were you really making love with your old man in those hotels on the road?

Come on people! She is not EVER going to face this crowd to apologize. I don't think she can or that she's able to. The pain and humiliation would destroy her. It's a wonder she hasn't ended her life already. She defends her father because it's the last wall she has up standing to keep her sane probably. Once she realizes her father took advantage of her for his lusts and abused her, it's like the dam will break.

I'd like to see Faithy apologize for the wrong she's done but on the other hand she's a walking time bomb. And the thing that hurts is that the present leadershit, Peter and Maria are so happy she's in this state. Like you, Miguel I only pity her.

She faces hostility from the Family, hostility from exmembers. No wonder she floats in limbo. Faith, if you're reading this, I do advise you to get professional help. Maybe a Christian counselor for starts if you don't trust a psychologist.
