LIVE: Tepe Children Orphaned — Therapist on Trauma, Healing, and Doing Everything Right

Two kids. Ages one and four. Alone in the house with their dead parents.

Tonight we're processing the aftermath of the Tepe murders with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott. The children are now orphans. Over a thousand people came to the funeral. A family is shattered. And hanging over everything is the question we can't escape: Monique did everything right — recognized the danger, left quickly, told people, moved on, built a new life — and she's still dead.

What does that mean for how we talk about domestic violence survival?

Shavaun Scott has spent over thirty years in trauma recovery. She believes in healing. But she's also honest about hard truths. Tonight we're discussing how young children process loss they can't understand. We're exploring survivor's guilt in families who knew she was afraid but couldn't stop this. We're asking what healing actually looks like — or whether it's just learning to carry the weight.

And we're confronting the question no one wants to answer: if doing everything right still isn't enough, what actually protects victims?
