I just saw the documentary, and it hit too close to home. I understand Bret porobably doesn't want to hear anymore about it, but is there any way to contact his sister. I was the older sister, my brother got the worst of the beatings. I was so scared of my mother when she went off, that I never tried to help my brother when he was being beaten. I never got over the guilt, despite how close my brother and I are, now, as adults. I would like to ahre with Alissa. When they were describing how the mother was during the beatings, it gave me chills, because it described our Mom. We finally confronted Mom, as adults, and it devastated us that she "doesn't remember it that way!" Despite us having the same memories! No closure, no apology. Our Dad died when we were still teens, but he was always away, working two jobs, when the beatings happened. When he was home, the abuse was verbal, too him, also. He left before he died, could not take Mom anymore. She got worse. We were teens in the 70's, then, and before that when we were younger, you didn't go to anyone outside the family about this kind of thing. When Mom was with other people, she was the life of the party, with just us, she was unhappy and depressed. I always wondered if she had worked outside the home, doing something that made her happy, maybe things would have been different. We were LUCKY, we both got out before one of us fought back, Brett wasn't. I am so happy they both are getting to live good lives with people and children who love them! My brother refused to ever have children, and had a long history of drug abuse before he got help. Now he counsels others with addiction problems. I have a wonderful son, but have major trust issues with partners. Sometimes knowing why isn't enough! I was wondering how many years he had to do in prison.
