Sometimes the truth doesn’t arrive all at once. Many children only realize years later that something didn’t quite add up — not because they weren’t smart, but because they were protected from the truth or slowly conditioned to doubt their own instincts.
When you’re a child, you trust the adults around you. You assume what you’re being told makes sense, even when something inside you feels off. Clarity doesn’t come from blame. It comes later, when you learn what to notice — the patterns, the reactions, the silences, the things that were never explained.
And if this feels familiar, you’re not late. You’re right on time.
