seeing through
Detecting the deception
Seeing through has two distinct meanings.
One is to perceive deception or pretense: I saw through his excuse immediately.
The other is to persist with something until completion: She saw the project through despite the setbacks.
A person who sees you through a difficult time supports you until it passes.
