I was a little hesitant in reading this story but I have immensely enjoyed what you have written so far. I can't wait to read more. My prayers are with you during this traumatic season especially as I read you are so close to graduation. I hope the MRI reveals what it needs to so you can begin healing. Much support sent via Internet waves.

Now i see why that evil troll was treating Dena that way. She was jealous and I'm a little angry with her dad, how he's going to let this she-devil change how he feels and treat his daughter😡😕 Father up!! nice update. I have you in my prayers and I hope everything is ok.

I'm excited!! I want to know what really went down. Tammy is an absolutely horrible person. She is indiscriminate with her hatred of everything and everyone beneath her. I want her to get her comeuppance soon. No one should have to deal with someone that vile.

Loved this chapter, Clark was so romantic... It was great to see Deena get the hepl that she neeeds and that she and her parents are getting along now.. I do wonder why her mother treated her the way she did.
I'm also glad that Deena saw that Clark had every right to end thier friendship b/c hey both needed to grow/
Can't wait for more.

We like how Clark spoke from his heart. Life is to short to be playing games. We like when a person tell us how they feel, so you won't be guessing. Plus if you feel the same way( which Dena did ) go all the way in. Great chapter😀

These last two chapters are everything!! I could feel their passion and emotions It's wonderful!

I'm disappointed with Dena. She forgave Clark like nothing happened. I know It's parte of her therapy, but c'mon, he finished whatever they had and after started again with her. She should have known other people. Nice story either way

My mom and I have to agree with everyone's review, this chapter was excellent😃 my mom was thinking over should she talk to her attacker family and by reading this she decide to. She hads already forgiven him even though he's not living anymore. Now she thinks it time for healing for everybody. Thanks for this chapter😍 you have been a voice of reason.
Author's Response:
This means so much to me. I feel utterly humbled to know that I've had a little impact on your lives. I wish nothing but happiness and healing to your mother. God bless you both! :)

This has got to be my favorite chapter thus far. So many emotions linked into one chapter!! I love it. I love Dena's progress. I'm glad she reconnected with her parents. Please update soon!
Reviewer: AmmaWem Signed [Report This]Date: February 23 2017 11:50 am
I was impressed as well. I am glad that she has taken this step forward with her parents. Her parents' neglect was a huge part in how Dena saw herself and to come to peace with their behavior and not use that as the basis of her actions is a big step. On to the next!
Reviewer: dcphoenix1 Signed [Report This]Date: February 22 2017 07:14 pm
This chapter was everything😍 the power of forgiveness is awesomea86; Dena grew up in this chapter, she comforted her demons and slayed them. Her father seen the errors of his ways and owned up to them. Her mother will take a while to see her faults but she's coming around. Great chapter😆

What type of therapist is Dr. Shannon. Her advice was VERY unprofessional. I quote : "He wasn’t doing you any favors by ending your friendship. He made a rash decision without consulting you and I believe it will backfire. "?????? How does she know this? Based on what did Dr Shannon come to this conclusion?? She never even met Clark personally. A PROFESSIONAL therapist would NEVER say something like this. She is not a relationship counselor, even them won't say something like this, nor is she a motivational coach.
A therapist should always stay neutral. Dena is her patient so she knows what is going on with her. But when it comes to Clark she doesn't know anything about him nor does she know what his reasons for ending his friendship with Dena are. Therefore Clark is a individual who has every right to end his friendship with Dena if he wants to. He has the right to withdraw himself from any situation if he feels uncomfortable or feel that it won't end well. If I was in his place I would have done the same thing. If my friends relationship was suffering because of me and to top it of, me also having strong feelings for him, I too would have walked away. And if he too is my friend, while it may hurt him, as a friend, he would also understand it for me.
Then again If Dena did not want to end her friendship with Clark she should have discuss it with him instead of breaking in to tears, insulting him and calling him a disappointment. Her abandonment issues and low self-esteem is something that only she can help herself with. She needs to stop getting attached to new people quickly and realize that she and only she is responsible for her own happiness. Hopefully this trip/therapy will help her realize that. So what if Clark was doing only himself a favor. He likes her more than just a “friend”. Why should he have to suck it up continue being her friend, while hurting because she is with someone else? His feelings and reasons don’t count? Dena clearly has some problems, but I also realize that she is a little selfish and want things to happen how and when she wants. When it doesn’t she cry’s, accuse people of abandoning, disappointing or not loving her.
The same goes for her situation with Gabriel. If a man was the one getting upset because the girl doesn’t want to or is not ready to have sex with him, then he would be called all kinds of “asswhole”. So why is it okay if its the other way around. Dena is thinking about herself again and wanting to “scratch her itch” instead of taking Gabriel’s feelings and thought also in to considerations. While he should have been more vocal and explain his reasons too Dena for not wanting to have sex yet, I for once think that when it came to this, he was right. He probably doesn’t wants to be a substitute for Clark and wants to have sex when he is sure about Dena’s feelings for her and that she wouldn’t be thinking and fantasizing about Clark when she was sleeping with him.
But even soo I still don’t trust Gabriel and I think that Dena did the right thing by breaking up with him. She wasn’t that in too him and Gabriel seems to have some issues too that were a little too creepy.

I love long chapters. How fulfilling. I can't wait to see how he gravels at her feet!! Fantastic story. I want to start writing but I can't seem to find the time to sit and write. Everyone says you just have to write a little a day. My mother is a writer so I think it's genetic.
Reviewer: PetitteBelle Signed [Report This]Date: February 18 2017 06:07 pm
This was better than I expected! I like that Dena is away from Clark and broke up with Gabriel. She needs time to herself and herself only for some time.
Congratulations on graduating and thanks for taking time out of your studies to share this story with us!!

I feel like this story has wandered into the terrain of navel-gazing. She had a few difficult experiences and has low self-esteem. Why does this warrant her going to a residential therapy camp?
What bothers me even more is that the advice from the therapist was all kinds of unprofessional. She sounds more like a motivational coach than a neutral therapist. Of course Clark has the right to decide who is in his life or not. He has the right to withdraw himself from any situation he feels won't end well. If I were a single woman, and I was being drawn into a friendship or relationship with someone with issues (eg psychological or baby-mama drama or what have you), I would have the right to withdraw myself from that. But he can't because he's the man?
How can everyone ( the therapist and Izzy's girlfriend) say he should have discussed it?! They met at the café, and he said his piece, but she responded by breaking into tears and flinging insults that he is a disappointment like everyone else who leaves her. That was her shot at discussing it. And she blew it. Maybe she likes playing the victim.
His is the only rational action so far (and believe me that I never thought I'd be defending a male character). If he knows he wants to be with this woman, not as a friend, but as a lover and still steps back because she has a boyfriend. Then that is the honorable thing to do. What is there to discuss? Would she keep him as a side piece? Or is she so needy, that she needs to have a boyfriend AND an extra friend "who is totally in love with her." Because that is the argument this story is pushing.

That's fucked up! What she needs is support through her healing process of a messed up childhood and upbringing. He could've just stayed in a neural friend zone. You have to be friends before lovers. When people grow together and learn to fight for things together then nothing can pull them apart. I'd stay away from him and his whole family at this point. Lizzy maybe too much of a reminder of him.

Dena has to stamd up for herself and her happiness. She should let Clark go because she don't need a wishy-washy person like that in her life. She need stability in her friendships and relationships. If she can't be all in with Gabriel then she needs to not play with his heart, because some old men are crazy when you play games. We love this update😍
