      Giving Mark the benefit of the doubt here, I think he meant to prompt her to describe the scenario. It's possible that they spoke prior to the interview and he just wanted to get her to describe the feelings and details of the abuse further. She didn't seem taken aback or offended by the questions, moreso engaged and willing to describe the situation to Mark and the viewers. At least, I hope that was the intention here.

    It’s so crazy how many ways childhood sexual abuse can negatively affect your life. In my case I couldn’t get away from the person because it was my dad. You bottle everything up as long as you can but eventually you start to crack. I lasted till my mid 20’s, then one day I just broke down. I’m 56 now and have dealt with serious depression since then, along with the addictive issues that come from trying to cope. It’s a horrible thing to go through.
