Youtube video

I watched this last night

Spoiler:

What a shockingly horrific story. Ugh it was tough, I really totally understood both their points of view, they were both right really. What was Marcus really supposed to do when faced with the choice of completely traumatising his already confused and upset brother, he came across as the one who looked after the other, the one who protected him, you could tell that from when he eventually told the story, you could see it came from a place of love and yes some self protection also.

Having said that I also totally get Alex's point of view, If I were him I would be fuming that I gave that monster, what? 12 years of love and a comforting death after what she did. Had Marcus told him maybe together they could have made her accountable for her actions. It just seems like an impossible situation for Marcus I think.

And just getting on to the crimes their mother committed, unfathomable how a mother could do that, it was very hard to listen to Marcus at the end, those poor men. I instantly thought about Jeffrey Epstein/Prince Andrew/Jimmy Saville, I think this kind of child trafficking must be rife in the these "upper classes"

It was a difficult watch, I found it very upsetting but I'm glad I watched it because Marcus wants as many people to know what an evil monster his mother was so If I can help by watching that's one small thing.

I hope Marcus and Alex have found some peace now and can get back to being as close as they were
