SINGAPORE: A woman who was molested by her father as a child in the 1980s forgave him for the abuse, but a seemingly innocuous incident about 40 years later triggered her memories of what he had done to her.

She and her husband then held a family meeting to tell their daughter and their son that their grandfather had sexually abused her when she was young.
