@@emmawer123 there's always someone who will blame the victims or accuse them of lying. They base their accusations on the lack of proof, but they don't have any proof for blaming the victims either.
The big question is: WHO WERE THIS WOMANS FRIENDS. They should be named, every one of them. It is absolutely sickening that the upper classes should be immune from public outing simply because of their position. I hope these men lay charges and I hope the police investigate. Disgusting
The interviewer was authentic and beautiful. She presented the threads to weave together the greater story, rather than sensationalizing one part of their sacred story. Thank you..............a breath of fresh air for sure!
Marcus is incredibly brave. As an 18 year old, he had to make huge decisions for his brother that no 18 year old should make. I think Marcus is a hero. God bless them both.
After watching the documentary, the moment when Marcus comes clean about the "details" of the abuse I saw his face , and I felt like he still has a lot of details he's not giving away. He is tortured and I feel very sorry for him. This woman and all the paedophiles who abused her sons should all have payed for what they did. Real monsters among us.
i think it was pretty clear that he didn't go into ALL the details because it wasn't totally needed. it was outlined and that was enough. i think he most likely left out a lot of the details of abuse that happened outside of his mother. like the other men he brought them to.
I'm sure he did. Alex most probably still has more questions . Like how old were they when it started... but I respect that he also understands his brother's pain not to ask for more details.
@@doublefeature I also think the dad knew for sure and didn't care. And also he mentioned earlier in the documentary that they went on trips with other families. I don't even want to think of how horrendous it got.
I watched this on Netflix the other day. I think Marcus did the right thing by not telling Alex of the horrific abuse in their childhood. I wish I could forget my childhood.
I think the trauma of his past life seemed to have made him forget everthing else. His own mind made him forget the worst. The only safe place was his brother and that's why he only remembered him.
nah, it was actual trauma from a physical injury. this is science. not trying to be rude or anything but it's not some form of mental disorder like DID or other trauma related disorders. if that were the case, he would have recalled his friends, his gf, etc.
@@doublefeature I know he had a physical trama that caused his problems but he only remembered his twin brother. Why? His brain didn't want to remember the trauma he faced from past abuse by parents
@@cheri7054 again, if that were the case, why wouldn't he remember his girlfriend or friends?? that's not how things work, he didn't lose his memory over an emotional or mental trauma, like people with DID or other trauma syndromes. people with those disorders don't lose their memories in the same way as someone with physical trauma. they still have access to them subconsciously and sometimes with therapy or the like, they are able to have some recall as the memories are really just hidden or buried as a way to cope. this man could not ever retain his memories with therapy or hypnosis or the like. and the very fact that his brother was INVOLVED with past abuse, aka intertwined in the memories of said abuse, means the mental/emotional/sexual trauma had nothing to do with his memory loss.
@@doublefeature Twin brothers have a special connection unlke anybody else. His brother lived with him in that abusive environment. It was shred experience. Tht's why he remembered his brother but in truth neither of us knows how the brain really works
@@cheri7054 that's why i believe he knew his brothers name, there is something about twins that have a connection that goes beyond most blood. that's one thing we can agree upon! the brain is truly a miraculous and mysterious thing.
This is one of the most touching and powerful documentaries I've ever watched. I wish I had a twin brother like Marcus. "If he hadn't known who I was, then he would've been all alone in the world. But he wasn't alone in the world, he had me." This is simply pure love.
It’s very nice that he wanted his twin to remember a happy life and to spare from a bad one. Even though it would leave him nobody to talk to about the bad things anymore, he still painted that happy picture. It’s probably a good thing that the twin found out the truth. That way both could be there for each other again.
That's what I think. He wants him to remember the happy memories.He was in a serious life threatening accident. That means physically and emotionally he was very fragile. He had to recover from that accident. It would have been very traumatic for him if he was told what had gone on in his childhood.
Omg they finish each others sentences! As a mother of twins I love that bond, I understand why Marcus created Alex a perfect life, I'm glad they have their 110% back
Watched this a few days ago. I was glued to the tv. The shock when he found the pic,and then what his mother really was. Just can’t believe a mother could do this to her boys.
I liked the interviewer too, she was empathetic and saw them as people who went through a traumatic experience not as a story piece. I really feel for these two, and glad that they have each other.
this was a well-made documentary. It is heart breaking to hear their story and see the trauma in Marcus's eyes of what they went thru. one of the best documentaries I have seen in awhile.
I’m so glad they have each other and it was a heart breaking docu to watch, what Marcus did for his brother all those years was something out of pure love for his brother it’s amazing I have so much respect for him.
Their relationship is such an amazing example of unconditional love, I believe Marcus was very brave & needed the emotional reset of his memory to be free of pain and he truly gifted that to his brother, I’m in complete awe of both of them ❤️
The interviewer was really good. Such an awful and quite complicated story. Lovely men, glad they are back together and are happy with their own families.
What an amazing testament to the love that Marcus had for his brother. This is a very moving documentary! A must see, for anyone who has been abused and especially for twins.
All of the other abusers, at the discretion of their mother, need to be accountable for their actions. I'm sure that connections can be made from all of those letters of gratitude and love for their mother. They would shine a light on and establish who those people are.
It was so upsetting to watch and very raw. Marcus did what I’d do and hide that secret, despite what he said I think it took a lot of strength to keep it in for as long as he did
I'm glad that even in my pain I was able to discuss my abusive upbringing. Because as I moved through it it healed and I came to a good place a lot faster then many. I was on a good course by 28. Not a lifetime. and the lessons I have learned I have been able to use to help other youth process their grief and abuse. These two are helping more people then they know. The light at the end of the tunnel.
Alex had to learn to live again. By withholding the traumatic information, Marcus gave Alex the freedom to blossom. The negativity would surely have impacted Alex's recovery.
Childhood sexual abuse is passed down through the generations - the mother was passing it down after her own abuse. These 2 brave men stopped it, and raise awareness for others to feel confident to do the same. It’s especially hard for men to admit, so I have so much respect ✊ for Markus and Alex 💯‼️
I've watched this documentary 10 times and I learned something new and feel a different emotion each time I watch it. I wish I could meet these guys they are incredible
I admire Marcus for protect Alex and give him the childhood he could not have but is brother could. The way he protect the thruth from his brother was the most beautiful true love. They are so wonderful as soul mates. This is the best documentary i ever saw, i couldn't stop my tears everytime i saw the pain in the're eyes. I wish them a really wonderful wonderful life. ❤
Just so sad but beautifully told. What a difficult story to tell but I don’t blame the brother for protecting him from the truth. He really did it to protect him and of course hindsight is a wonderful thing but his poor brother was recovering from a serious brain injury. I’d love to know more about their parents lives who they were and who were their friends I hope he gets some strength to report the people concerned if anyone is alive still.
This documentary was unbelievable!! Everyone should watch it, it is just fantastic, yet so sad, I feel so bad for these two, and would never believe how it flips and what actually happened to them both in the past😩😩
the most interesting aspect of the documentary for me was the relationship and interaction between the brothers; one yearning to know; the other using silence to forget.....
This documentary was just so good. The way it was presented was perfect. But I admit I sobbed hearing what Marcus remembered and knowing it was the first time Alex heard it..... its bad enough their mother did what they did but knowing that other adults were involved... adults who were probably well known just makes me wonder if this is a part of a bigger secret... that even these twins aren’t aware of. The Jeffery Epstein case has really ,Ade me wonder just how connected, large, intertwined, and dark sex trafficking is in the world as a whole.... they said it was aristocrats involved and knowing that a Prince was involved with Epstein I wouldn’t be surprised if all these people run in the same circles
This documentary was truly so amazing and I found myself on the literal edge of my seat! Marcus and Alex are amazing men for being able to construct their lives after everything. But I can’t grasp the magnitude and stress and turmoil Marcus was under keeping up this secret and also realizing he was still surviving the past abuse that he endured. This story is so great and it reminds me that there are some really horrible and disgusting people in this world, but there are also resilient and amazing people like the twins.
These men, fathers, husbands (grandfathers now or in future) are so incredibly brave to share their story. The original story of Alex losing his memory was so interesting I had no idea that it’d lead where it did. I was a sobbing mess the entire time.
How was it possible for their dad not to know of what their mother was doing. Just the way he was distant not going to see Alex at the hospital and then later instead of giving him a hug he only shook his hand. Lastly why would he ask for forgiveness at his deathbed? I believe that he had to know something about it, although the mother was at the end who controlled the situation back then. I say that both parents were responsible for what happened to the twins.
Jazmine L i think he knew too, and was jealous of the “mothers love/attention(ew)” for her sons rather than her husband once she started abusing them... and the hidden presents, i wonder if that waasn’t both of the parents... keeping them in the shed.. but yeah asking for forgiveness is the main red flag
I just finished the Netflix documentary and it was shocking, heartbreaking and scary. I admire Marcus for trying to protect Alex for all those years. Glad that Alex finally got the answers he needed and that they both can now find the peace they deserve.
The fact that they weren't allowed in their house and was made to stay in a shed outside of the main house is disturbing. There are more horrors to be unraveled with their "parents" i feel.
These two are extraordinary human beings. They pulled through and build successful lives through sheer will power and also love for each other. So very articulate and intelligent.
The power of love. Angels made him to only remember his brother because that was the only family member that truly loved him. Great documentary .the story was told so well.
Denial of the truth isn't exactly helpful though. I know this guy's heart was in the right place, but I'm not sure I agree with it. I can see how it would be tough to pick a good time to tell him such a horrendous thing though.
What love and strength from both these survivors. I hope they live knowing others are cheering for them and others are healing because of their story. 💜
@@nprincess90 I agree. It is very very rare that a spouse doesn't know of things happening with their spouse inside a home. I think he did know, but choose to deny and ignore which may explain his distant mean attitude towards the boys. It is highly likely his wife was very harsh and did not love him emotionally or physically. He couldn't control her so he disconnected,
Sherese James-Grow to be fair this wasn’t a normal home, and i doubt the parents slept together, or barely co existed. It’s mentioned that their Dad would stay in his wing of the house and rarely come out
Alex is fortunate, even though Marcus made a mistake his intentions and motives were good, Marcus is worthy of trust but is limited by his own recovery challenges.
I watched tell me who I am the other night, I was shocked and disgusted by their mother’s actions. I really felt for Alex and Marcus, they seen like very nice genuine men.
I watched the film a few weeks ago, why is no one questioning why they havnt went to the police ? Yes the mother is dead but what about all the other abusers they were passed around. Like the artist, if they did it to them the chances are there are more victims!
2023, and I'm glad I had a chance to watch this in Netflix. They finally release from the BONDAGE of their mom... I cried and yes this documentary is really heartbreaking. I am happy they are both and great Dads. The love of Marcus to protect and lie is really a toll for him, but I'm glad they were able to finally settle from the claws of their horrible mom.
The fact that his mind kept the memory of his brother but not his mom already speaks volumes, especially with traumatic experiences
Or he lies😁👍

The power of his brother's love to want to rewrite his brother's story to shield him from the pain 😭
Pammy M yes! What a sacrifice! Such love ... wow. Humbled to get to witness it.
The connection of twins. I love having a twin sister
The presenter is really compassionate during this interview. I really like her.
Agreed. Lovely to see.
Nice observation, Dingle Barry 🤣👍
I agree. Not often we are able to compliment an interviewer these days but she was a nice woman to these guys.
She must have a smart boss who choose the least psychopathic journalist to interview them. She seemed nice to me too.
The big question is: WHO WERE THIS WOMANS FRIENDS.
They should be named, every one of them.
It is absolutely sickening that the upper classes should be immune from public outing simply because of their position.
I hope these men lay charges and I hope the police investigate. Disgusting
Imagine the amount of love to do that for your brother.

I must also add, what an amazing presenter who was visibly upset and chose her words carefully ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I agree it was powerful, and heartbreaking 😥
I’m so glad that they have found peace in each other again, after such a heartbreaking and traumatic experience.
My husband and I cried when watching their Documentary, it broke our hearts and made us so angry for them.
I had the same feeling towards this story :,(

“He never realized what I wanted and I never realized what he had given me”
I admire these guys and wish them well
Truth can be really painful, but the truth often sets us free.
Always, dear... always sets us free.
Often?
It does, but also ignorance is bliss. Somethings are just to painful.
The interviewer was really good. Such an awful and quite complicated story. Lovely men, glad they are back together and are happy with their own families.

April Marie this is what I thought too
Yes i agree surely there must be some still alive and up to no good
Up to no good and probably very famous.
@@chanetra0918 yes true
There is also the possibility that the majority are dead. Since they must have been their parents ages
He just wanted to protect his brother.
This was so moving to watch I had to fight back tears.
It was so upsetting to watch and very raw. Marcus did what I’d do and hide that secret, despite what he said I think it took a lot of strength to keep it in for as long as he did
The truth came out with the finding of the nude picture. Can't imagine
The bravery of these men is amazing 🖤
Many monsters out there. I was raised by one. Brave brothers to face their memories and expose what needs to be exposed.
I'm glad that even in my pain I was able to discuss my abusive upbringing. Because as I moved through it it healed and I came to a good place a lot faster then many. I was on a good course by 28.

Just watched it on Netflix. Devastating and tragic, but beautiful how the one protected the other!
That is love. One big beautiful mended heart in two astounding individuals.
As a mum. I am horrified. As a human. And growing up back when things were not spoken about. I'm not surprised. I'm so happy they got their 10% back.
I love the closeness of these brothers.
These men, fathers, husbands (grandfathers now or in future) are so incredibly brave to share their story. The original story of Alex losing his memory was so interesting I had no idea that it’d lead where it did. I was a sobbing mess the entire time.

Yes he knew.. and enabled it... of course... odd that Marcus would be in denial about his fathers role in letting it happen
I agree of course he knew!
I just finished the Netflix documentary and it was shocking, heartbreaking and scary. I admire Marcus for trying to protect Alex for all those years. Glad that Alex finally got the answers he needed and that they both can now find the peace they deserve.

Incredibly cruel parents. So sad
I watched this a few days ago, it broke my heart. What a fantastic brother ❤️
I've seen this and i cried. It was heartbreaking and traumatic but Marcus was so kind to spare Alex of their pasts
Adult amnesia often a symptom of the mind trying to ditch trauma. So they both hid it in their own way
I’ve just watched the Netflix documentary… I am shaken by this… Courage, even now, Twins… 💕💕
These two are extraordinary human beings. They pulled through and build successful lives through sheer will power and also love for each other. So very articulate and intelligent.
Such a great brother 👏🏻 he made me cry at the end
Marcus shows such love for his brother...
Marcus is a great, loving brother to try and spare Alex that horrible childhood. He was only trying to spare his brother the painful anguish.
These are amazing people. Such a strong bond that a monster could never destroy. Much love and happiness for the rest of your lives
The power of love. Angels made him to only remember his brother because that was the only family member that truly loved him. Great documentary .the story was told so well.
He saved his brother from trauma for a 14 years. And I can understand why he’s angry about the lie.
Twins do incredible things for eachother.
i think he actaully saved him twice. First time was when he put a final stop to the madness both were living
Even families who remember all the secrets tell themselves and others a pleasant story.
Denial of the truth isn't exactly helpful though. I know this guy's heart was in the right place, but I'm not sure I agree with it. I can see how it would be tough to pick a good time to tell him such a horrendous thing though.
Tom Dickenharry sadly true.
What love and strength from both these survivors. I hope they live knowing others are cheering for them and others are healing because of their story. 💜
All the Best for them. So brave. Cried the show all the way till the end.

What a beautiful gift and sacrifice at the same time...
I realy respect these wonderful brothers bless u. Both and ur famliys xxxxxx
I was just wondering if any other members of the family were ever aware of the twins abuse at the time or spoken out about any family history.
I wondered exactly the same ! Shame on the family if they knew !

Marcus's pain broke my heart, I adore his love for Alex.
Read the book. Absolutely powerful. The Netflix only grazes the book. I recommend the book.
Talk about the extra bond they created for each other! Trust and love and now appreciation.
I watched tell me who I am the other night, I was shocked and disgusted by their mother’s actions. I really felt for Alex and Marcus, they seen like very nice genuine men.
It was all out off love
I wanted to hug these guys so so badly
As a twin that went through abuse in a church this documentary was really hard to watch
😢
I watched the film a few weeks ago, why is no one questioning why they havnt went to the police ? Yes the mother is dead but what about all the other abusers they were passed around. Like the artist, if they did it to them the chances are there are more victims!
Agree
Evidence, statue of limitation, word against word probably a lot of reasons
Some of them are probably dead as well
All this story its a fake,they się IT for monet.They wrote a book to make money
Such a beautiful tragedy!
2023, and I'm glad I had a chance to watch this in Netflix. They finally release from the BONDAGE of their mom... I cried and yes this documentary is really heartbreaking. I am happy they are both and great Dads. The love of Marcus to protect and lie is really a toll for him, but I'm glad they were able to finally settle from the claws of their horrible mom.
A beautiful thoughtful and sensitive interview.
