I am not quite sure this is the place for my comment but here goes anyway.

Like so many, I too, really like watching true crime shows. I watch many. Today I was watching Evil Lives Here, one of my very favorite shows. I do record it so I can pick and choose what may sound interesting to watch.

I watched an episode that affected me more than any I have ever watched, I mean EVER. It is from Season 7, Episode 1/ It Was All Judith. That young man, Corey Breininger's abuse was horrific. The abuse continued for so many years, I am sure the residual effects will last his lifetime, how can it not. What that despicable woman did~~how can she possibly be released from prison in 2 short years. The fear that must embody him...I also fear for him. How can he possibly have a peaceful life? How can he possibly EVER experience joy. The unfairness of it all is beyond my comprehension. I do hope that he is seeing a therapist/psychiatrist who has REALLY been able to help him. For me to say to Corey, you may have killed your Dad but in no way are you at all

responsible. A thought that may be very difficult to grasp, I know. But that woman you unfortunately had to call step-mother had so much control over you and from such a young age. You did not have a chance. The abuse this young man suffered at the hands of that vile woman is/was just unimaginable. Not only did he suffer terrible physical abuse, the mental abuse far exceeded the physical. I feel terrible for Corey and I wish I could reach out to him in some way. To be a friend, someone for him to talk too. Based on my age, I would be more of a grandmother

to him. Everyone needs a cool grandmother, don't they ? Based on what I have written, I do hope some pull up the episode that I mentioned above and watch it. This young man could use prayers, lots of them.

Sorry for taking up so much paper space here, brevity certainly eludes me.

Corey~ if you happen upon this message. My heart goes out to you~

Be safe, be well & I pray that you are able to experience true happiness.

"Evil Lives Here" is one of my favorite television shows, however what is up with the "background" music? It is played so loudly that it overpowers the dialogue! I sometimes replay the scene to possibly try to catch what was said, but oftentimes that attempt is unsuccessful. And I have perfect hearing! The music is supposed to be enhancing the story, not the other way around! Please tone down the music!

I just recently subscribed to On Belief, a podcast about cults that interviews survivors about what they experienced and how they got out and I think you would like it! Also, agree that the landscape of reality TV is changing for the better, so wild to look back at where it started and see how far it’s come.
