Putting Things to Rest
When interviewing Elliot, D’Anna recalled how intense the investigation was – not in terms of effort, but emotions. After all, it couldn’t be easy knowing you had family out there who couldn’t be bothered about you. Elliot knew it could get tough when she asked D’Anna to investigate and, consequently, she had to be prepared for rejection and failure.
Luckily for her, Elliot didn’t just find her birth parents, she found a great-grandniece as well. But throughout, she faced a lot of dismissals and closed doors from her biological parents’ family. Just because they were family by blood, didn’t mean they were family by heart, too. And a truth such as this was one with secrets – which asked to be left alone. But Elliot was content with just knowing.
