S♥️E: 'The Twins' react to Family Violence in a way that Parallels Mom and Aunt Brie

From the StevieLovesEvie.com archive:

The Twins refers to Aunt Brie's two youngest sisters. Adopted from Korea and three years apart. Grimma made them dress alike for most of their lives. In Aunt Brie's blog, she talks about how these two bright young women dealt with Grimma's abuse. (Update: In Aunt Brie's deposition, she revealed the oldest of The Twins had run away to Savannah, Georgia).
"There were subtle abuses, and there were overt abuses. There was a lot of violence. There was a lot of punishment. There was almost no logic to the way that things operated inside our home."
"My little sisters were there. They grew up in the same household, with the same mother. They are not genetically the same as me, but their reactions to the abuse were identical. One reacts by being super good, and the other reacts by acting out, and they still get punished equally."
