I was wondering if anyone knows how Alissa Reider is doing? I am glad to see that Brett is doing well, but I hope the same for her, both went through so much.

[…] When I first wrote about Brett Reider here I had just seen the documentary BRETT KILLED MOM: A SISTER’S DIARY on HBO and I wanted to write about my feelings and also to encourage everyone to watch what I thought was a very important film. I wasn’t even thinking that other people, who were, like me, wondering what had happened to Brett, would be searching the internet and coming to my site for answers. I posted what I had been able to find out here. I was saddened by the site that stated that Brett had committed suicide. I wanted a happy ending for this young man. As much as I wanted to know the truth I never imagined that I would receive an email from Brett’s wife Sara. She had heard about my site from a friend and wrote to let me know that not only is Brett alive, he is married with two beautiful boys and another baby on the way. […]

I agree with what both of you are saying. You would not be who you are now if that little piece wasn’t there. You would be someone else. And the “who” you are now, I think, is a high quality person with much to offer the world you live in. All of us would be shortchanged if that little piece of you was not there. Not to say that you should be happy that you “lived” it, but to say it’s one part of you that makes you, and all of us, more aware of what we are and what we can become. And so we grow together through the experiences of those who are part of us. And, by the way, this is one of the reasons I never miss reading your board.

Hi Belle,
I am sorry to hear that you endured that abuse for five years. I too don’t know if I can ever make sense of it, or if it is even necessary to try. A wise woman once said to me, “Tammy, quit trying to make sense of a senseless situation.”
That little box of yours hidden away is still a part of who you are, yes? I personally have felt for a long time that I should be helping people who are going through similar abuse right now or those who have survived it to come out on the other side as I have.
I am not sure what exactly I am capable of doing at this time to help people, but even if by writing about it I can say, “Psst, hey you, I understand. There is still hope.” I hope there is comfort for someone in that.
Belle, you always make me smile by commenting. At least I know that someone is reading.
Tammy
