About this episode
Welcome to The Confessional! On the last Tuesday of every month, Annabelle will be inviting a shooshie, who has a confession of their own, into the vault to tell her about their secret and how it all unfolded. Today, Annabelle sits opposite someone – let’s call her Lisa – who has kept a secret, one of the most intense family confessions we’ve ever heard.
