A quick definition of cause in fact:

Cause in fact refers to the action or event that directly leads to a particular outcome or result. It is the "but-for" cause, meaning that without it, the outcome would not have occurred. For example, if a car accident was caused by a driver running a red light, the running of the red light is the cause in fact of the accident. It is important in determining legal liability for damages or injuries.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cause in fact refers to the actual cause of an event or result. It is also known as but-for cause, which means that the event would not have occurred if the cause had not happened.

For example, if a person drives through a red light and hits another car, causing an accident, the cause in fact of the accident is the person driving through the red light. If the person had not driven through the red light, the accident would not have happened.

Understanding cause in fact is important in determining liability in legal cases. If a person's actions were the cause in fact of an injury or damage, they may be held responsible for it.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
