Writing at CityOnAHillStudio.com, Kenny Silva explores what Millard’s relationship with his mom “can teach us about forgiveness.” He writes, “In some ways, Adele’s leaving hurt Bart more than any of the beatings from his dad,” leading to years of bitterness and “the crushing burden of unforgiveness.”
