Thank you for opening up to us and sharing with us parts of the "real" Chrissy and Bria. It is so easy for people to forget how much filming, cutting, and editing goes into what we view as "Bria and Chrissy." I know the reality is we see what you want us to see, and don't get me wrong it is amazing (!), but the truth is, as much as we may feel like we know you, we only know what you want us to know and a very small part of your life. I think it can be easy to feel you two have this "perfect," amazing relationship and lives.

You have love and talent and opportunities that are so special, and you both are special. I admire your bravery. Chrissy, you sharing your coming to terms with your sexuality helped me more than you could know. I only wish I had such material available to me 25-30 years ago. Your openness about your sexuality and the struggles you choose to share helps so many people.

I often relive the story you shared about your ex. It flashed through my mind the day I pulled out onto the railroad tracks. As a disabled lesbian woman not yet out of the closet, I just couldn't see any purpose for me to live. My living is a burden on my family. My own sister told me I was killing our dad, taking years off his life. Seeing as he is terminally ill, coming out to him, a conservative, fundamental Christian and known homophobe (with some reasons I understood, trauma based) felt like I would kill him, speeding his death and ruining the best friendship/support person I have.

  I'm still not sure how I got off the tracks. It was when I saw the engineer say, "Oh God no, please God no...." In that instant I thought of how unfair and selfish and cruel it would have been to have that memory be his... for him, perhaps, to feel some responsibility that wasn't his. I remembered your reaction, Chrissy, the trauma it causes you. As quick as it happened I flashed on the video of your pain.

Chrissy, you didn't do anything wrong and did so much right. I am so sorry that happened to you. The responsibility wasn't yours. You were an innocent, as he would have been. Your sharing that painful story, wherein people reacted so cruelly genuinely saved my life that day. What you have shared here today will certainly help someone and may very well save another life. I also have other PTSD issues and extreme insomnia. I, too, have tried to numb myself in various dangerous ways. Thank you for sharing. We need to destigmatize "mental illness" and addiction. Oftentimes, I've been told, certain behaviors others may view as abnormal are actually normal responses to abnormal, or harmful, situations. You probably won't see this, but maybe someone will who will relate. In addition to my age and growing up where I did at the time I did, my sexuality was further confused by CSA and rape. So, when I felt disgusted by "normal" sex, everyone, myself included, thought it was normal for what I had gone through and I'd get over it, but... I'm forty, and despite doing trauma therapy, those feelings didn't change. My parents cope with my being a lesbian, or asexual, or something other than heterosexual by blaming the abuse. I  told my sis I have grown weary of trying to figure out the "why".. Now I want to focus on the positive... having a relationship with mutual respect, boundaries, love, acceptance, etc. I doubt I will find someone willing to accept (all of me), but... but...I see this and for a moment I feel a spark of hope. Bria, I am so touched by your love for Chrissy, your sticking by her, accepting the trauma and addiction. This is hard work for both of you, as good relationships are. BUT, I am not beautiful, talented, intelligent, funny or fully capable. I was left legally disabled after being hit by a car. CRPS and brain injured and other health problems. Trauma issues. And...I don't have Chrissy's many redeeming values or her stunning beauty. I don't have a Bria either, and I don't think there are many like her... or you. You two are both amazing women. Thank you for sharing some of your struggles, for being strong and brave enough to be that real with us... it almost broke you up, but it didn't; and you both reevaluated your lives and relationship with alcohol. Even the best of relationships have their rough patches, because NONE of us are perfect and all have "baggage," things to work on. Sharing that only increases my amazement with you two beautiful, incredible women. Sending you so much love and respect. Peace be with you, Chrissy and Bria. WTG on your mounting sobriety. That is no small thing. Congrats. Congrats both of you.
