The children love her. She loves the children. The bio-mother comes to believe that Lola has "stolen" the children from her.

The children are terrified when they watch Lola get abused. For the most part, they do not intervene. When they do, they are afraid.

Tizon, as a child, chooses not to "break up" his family and get everyone deported by blowing the whistle on what's happening to Lola.

This... is a familiar choice to children of abusive parents?

The piece isn't about the conflicting emotions of a slave-owner, it's about how much Tizon hates himself and how much he loves Lola.

Maybe he should have hated himself more. I don't know how to measure that.

Over the 12 years that she lives with him, he tries to get her to tell him her story.

My take was that he figured out the story from his brother when he was young and that he really didn't need more details to understand it

At the end of the piece he explicitly describes trying to get her to talk to him, and that he failed mostly.

He also describes asking his sister to talk to Lola one-on-one in case it's because he's a man.

Adrian Chen's criticism is fair: that he doesn't take Lola's answers with enough skepticism because of the power differential

But I also don't believe Tizon didn't try to understand Lola as Lola
