Update on Chef Anh (S8)

As an asian woman with a lot of trauma from my mom, when I watched the episode with Anh, I understood why Karamo decided to do it this way. I honestly think Anh has benefitted from confronting her dad and saying to him what she really felt all those years WITH Karamo beside her who is ready to back her up if it became ugly. We grew up in a household where expressing your thoughts were considered rude. I had a similar experience like Anh and I had my husband beside me to back me up while I told my mother all the things she did to hurt me over the years. And it was the best feeling ever... I'm sure it was the same for Anh, as it was like a light bulb moment for me and went to therapy after as well as I finally realised that I NEED to express my hurt, my trauma and my truth. I just needed to say it to the person who hurt me and that's what Karamo did to Anh. Give her the opportunity to say it to that person. Hearing an apology is just a bonus. I hope people can forgive Karamo on this episode. I can relate to Anh so much, after my confrontation with my mom, we were able to talk more as the hurt and anger I felt was gone and although we still argue, it wasn't the same as before.
