Whitney (Drifting Back)

Whitney is the daughter of Rich.

History
Whitney talked to Violet about her father. He used to be her favorite person to do things with, but he'd started looking at her weirdly and coming into the bathroom when she asked him not to.

An EEG showed a lesion on Rich's brain that was causing the seizures and the hypersexuality and lack of impulse control. Amelia said she could operate and remove the lesion, which would relieve him of the symptoms. Despite the risks, Rich decided he wanted the surgery because he didn't want to be a danger to Whitney.

While her father had surgery, Whitney said he was scared, but she didn't know why. She'd overheard her mom telling her uncle on the phone that her dad could die in the surgery. She loved her father, but what he did really hurt their relationship. Violet said she might never be able to trust her father in the same way again, but she shouldn't feel guilty for living in the good days.

Rich's surgery went well and afterward, he told Whitney he would spend the rest of his life trying to earn her trust back.

Familial
She was very close to her father until a lesion in his brain started to him him inappropriate sexual thoughts about her.
