WTF! I'm speechless! This is abuse at its worst. And he's a grown man and his sperm donor is bullying him. There's a special place in hell for Colin. I can't believe this. I'm so pissed right now. How can Rory get better with these two in his life? And forgive me if I don't give the incubator a pass. Regret doesn't help Rory. She's just as guilty as Colin.

I'm glad that they didn't have sex but I hope (Rory) get's better.. like she said how can two broken people fix each other. Especially since she doesn't have her vision..In several ways she can't help him. I hope he gets help and gets stronger for both of their sakes..

Wow!!! I want to feel sorry for Declan I do but something stops me because he seems to want Mallory's happiness but he is torturing himself at the same time. He can't be her hero if he can't regain his emotions and reel them in. The fact that he was so engrossed in the fantasy tells me he needs a little distance so that he can maybe find someone that will love him for him, not because he is strong and has always been there for her.

I so want to take a knife to Collins throat he and his wife did this to Rory and now he thinks he can beat it out of him. I so hope he gets a swift kick to the nuts because Hejaz no right to beat on Rory when it's because of him Rory strives for perfection. I am glad Declan got there in time because I have a feeling Rory would have kept taking the beating because he just crumbles under his own anxiety. 

Its a shame their mother finally realizes what they all did to Rory. But it's a little too late for any type of forgiveness. The one thing that seems to always penetrate Rorys shield of anxiety is Mallory. Maybe now she will begin to understand that even though Rory wasn't there for her in the present he was never far from her in spirit. They need each other so much so that it hurts. And maybe this will heal them both. Looking forward to the next chapter.

My only concern is this cliff hanger!! I want more

Parent are needed for guidance, not for beatdowns.  A powerful update

Damn! His parents especially his father if you can call him that really did a number on him. 

Someone needs to give Colin a taste of his own medicine.  Siobhan seems to realize the damage they have caused but apparently Colin still thinks he did alright by his son and all he needs is a good beating well mister that didn't work then and he sure as hell not working now.  Next they'll be wanting to put him in a mental hospital when it was them that caused the damage in the first place. 

I know not to blame the secretary but when he said he did not want to be disturbed she should have took it at fast value and did as he said.  Now Rory with all the stress of hurting Mal again and then their unwelcome visit has pushed him over the edge on top of that they are talking about Imogene coming back into the picture really. Again they need their ass beat especially Colin.

Great update thank you for sharing. More please.

Rory needs to get rid of his parents.  I wonder if his mom knows that his father was freaking Rory's ex Imogene.  I don't like them very much and I thought for sure that Rory was going to punch Colin in the face when he said that Mal got what she deserved.

So being injured to the point of losing her site was what she deserved.  Apparently they don't mind that she is in Declan's life or do they only think it's puppy love where she is concerned with him or he is no concern because they have Rory they have tortured and think they have in line.

What the hell is going on with them wanting Imogene back in the picture and if the children they want to carry on the line doesn't daddy dearest sire it's not like he hasn't been in that pot before.

I wonder will Declan stop before he finishes what he and Mal has started and I wound too if he is just a subsitute for Rory?  I don't think she is feeling him like she was Rory.

If this does pan out I wonder what will be Rory's response will this take him completely over the edge?

Thank you for the update.  I hope to see more soon.

Noooooooo noooooo noooo. As much as i dont like Rory, she shouldn't be with Declaaan!

All i can say is that everyone has to make choices in life that will only get difficult with time.  They are only trying to move forward and not dwell on the past.  And for the record his parents are the cause for his pain and only want him to live by their standards.  

IS this a dream????? I think so.

D. wants her so bad and it is just bc he never had her.  He knows she loves him, but is 'in' love with Rory.  I hope if they do go through with it then she calls him R. name, but I don't think he will care.  If they do go through with the sex then she should not have anything else to do with R.  

Hopefully, D will answer his phone before doing the deed and she can get R. away for his own sake and then they can repair their relationship.

I think this will kill Rory....

Welcome back. But you are killing my anxiety with this story. I feel like Mallory wants to be loved by Declan but wont be able to give him what he needs in the end only because her heart is tied to Rory no matter what she thinks she wants in the moment. Rory has a lot of issues that stem from his parents and their treatment of him. Declan was loved and he knows how to love. Rory was treated like a prisoner and the only way for him to survive was his OCD. His parents don't get that, his parents seem to think that he can just over come this because he is an adult now. I don't think there is an drug that will magically help him get better. Because the fact is the more Rory fights it the more it over takes him.

Declan needs to back off of Mallory, I know he loves her but he seems so obsessed with her that he is going to be hurt when Mallory stops hurting. Per her words she is tired of hurting but either she or Declan are going to have to stop because this may feel good in the moment but when all is said and done is ewveryone will suffer in the end. Poor Rory is spinning out of control and I don't think Declan will be able to save him. Because at some point like at the end Declan will start thinking about himself. Mallory is the only thing that makes Rory feel alive and "normal" but Rory even knows he's not good for her. That to me shows how much he does love her. He knows he can't give her the things that Declan can. And that's what breaks my heart because Rory has had to suffer for Declan to have what he has had.

Looking forward to the next chapter even if it kills me and my anxiety. I just hope something stop Mallory and Declan from making the biggest mistake. Because I don't want anyone to get hurt.
