Bennie really needs some help. He got on Ophelia's case for not going to counseling and now he's doing the same things. He's crazy to push away a good woman like Keisha and Alicia is right, he needs to suffer a bit. Hope she makes him crawl a bit because Keisha didn't deserve that. She stood by him and was understanding. I want their happy ending but Bennie needs to appreciate he can't treat peple that way even if he is going through things. Hopefully he be in Justice's life. She needs her big brother. That being said, I did feel bad for him. Get it together Bennie!!
Alicia and Kevin are a trip. So glad they finally got it on. Hope they can stay together. Will we see Kevin's racist ex? That would be hilarious to see Alicia put that KKklown in her place.
Great update.

LOL Happy. I forgot about the redhead redneck. I'll have to write something about that for sure for sure. You're such an inspiration! I'll have to write you in as a cousin or something. Just don't get in any fight with her when she spots Kevin with Alicia, lol.

I have to let you know that I LOVE you and bow down to your talent. I can feel this story winding up, and although I am loving that all the couples will get their happy end, I'm going to miss them.
BTW, when is the Round Robin story continuing?
Author's Response:
Thank you for your kind words. As for the Round Robin, it's coming along. It hasn't been abandoned. The five of us are taking turns for each chapter and the current writer had some of life's roadblocks thown her way. Not to worry though, hopefully her chapter will be out soon!

Alicia and Kevin are devious using Bennie's pain and stupidity against him. Bennie jumping to conclusions is a bad thing but that was what you get for dumping her like that. I am still in Bennie's side as he has been through so much. Telling him to get over how he was conceived was a bit much. However he does need to talk to someone about his feelings in loosing his birth mother and finding out that he was child of rape. This was so good!
Author's Response:
LOL at Alicia and Kevin. Kev loves Bennie like a brother, but he was pissed at how he treated him. Yes, Bennie has been through a lot but his father is right. Sitting in his apartment, cutting himself off from family and friends is not the answer. Jacob just wants his son to get some help so that he can live a normal life. Thanks for the review!

Wow... just wow. Beautifully written. Until now, Bennie has been a pretty straightforward strong, extremely mature young man. It's sooo nice to his character so exposed and raw like that. And you brought it out of him soo nicely and naturally through those sentimental videos.
It's interesting that Bennie was always so vocal about Ophelia needing therapy... which is most definitely needed. But Bennie was dealing with all these underlying issues and all along probably needed therapy as well.
I'm surprised at Raymond, it'll be interesting to see his role in Bennie's recovery and Justice's care. It's also nice to see Raymond and his sister's relationship pretty much mended. Family should always stick together. Excelent update! I can't wait to read the next chapter. :)

Perfect 10 as usual.... Im really glad Teddy has let himself greave at last he really needed it and im also pleased that Ray has owned up to his responsibilities. It wasnt going to be fair on Abigail to dump Justice on her. Phew Ophelia left a mess its a good thing about the DVDs too it really elaborates her feelings for Teddy and Ray to Teddy he can at least acknowledge that his mother had loved him.

Wow!!! That was powerful!! He is finally coming to grips with his love for his his rreal momma. Hopefully it will help his relationship with his girlfriend. Poor Benny and Justice they were both denied Ophelia and her Love!

Very emotional update..I'm glad that Raymond finally came to terms with his responsibilities towards Justice.I feel so bad for Bennie.He went through so much....Raymond did the first right thing in his entire life by apologising to Bennie and taking a step in the right direction....I hope Bennie forgives Raymond,even though he dosen't deserve it cuz life is too short to hold grudges and like Raymond said he should talk about his problems,harbouring them inside him is just going to harm him.The kind of feelings Ophelia had for Raymond when she was a kid, still sickens me.About Kara,I don't know what type of friend encourage such kind of behaviour....I hope more will be revealed about her in nxt update.Fantastic update.Waiting for more.
Author's Response:
Kara met Ophelia after she was pregnant. She was only a child herself. What was there to encourage? The deed had already been done and Ophelia needed a friend. More about Kara is coming. Bennie does need help and hopefully he will get it. thanks for the review.

This chapter was so touching that it left me crying all over my computer (poor keyboard !). Now that Raymond got his sanity back, Bennie is losing his. I hope he'll realize that they need each other. Thanx for sharing!

I love this update. I actually cried. I feel sorry Ben. I wish he could forgive Raymond. I'm so happy Raymond got help and he is seeing someone to deal with ophelia's death. Can't wait for the next update ツ
Reviewer: Treale Signed [Report This]Date: July 09 2013 02:09 am
Raymond apologized to his son that is a start and I hope he does get his act together and raise his daughter Justice because she needs him.
Raymond is right Bennie does need to see someone professionally to get all this out and off his shoulders like he was pushing Ophelia to seek therapy he needs to do so himself.
I hope Ray does continue seeking help as well. A lot of damage has been done.
I agree with Bennie on sharing the dvds it was his b-day gift and he wants to be selfish for awhile because he was seperated from her not because she wanted to be but because of manipulations and deceit.
Thank you for the update.

I don't think Raymond has long to live and he knows it. He needs to help Benny get his act together before he loses his mind, Justice, and Keisha. Still think Raymond was a pervert, but O. really loved the man--well, as much as an 11 yr old could.
Reviewer: Penelope Signed [Report This]Date: July 09 2013 12:36 am
Bennie is angry and he has every right to be. His whole life was a lie because if Raymond and Margie that sorry may have been needed but was too late. It also showed that Ophelia went from young and dumb to grown and dumb, courtesy if her momma who thought more of drugs than her. daughter. Raymond your love don't mean shit at least as far as Bennie is concerned. Fabulous!
Author's Response:
True, but at some point you have to let it go. He now regrets his continued anger at Ophelia over Raymond and the time they lost. He's filled with remorse. Raymond and Bennie have to come to terms about their relationship for Justice's sake. More is coming!

That chapter was awesome! Poor Bennie! So lost! Wow Raymond did a big turn around! From wanting to kill himself, Sounds like seeking help was the best thing for him. I hope he doesnt give up on Bennie!
Reviewer: Cali2mt406 Signed [Report This]Date: July 09 2013 12:25 am
Raymond needs to tell him what really happened and why he was forced to do it because all that negative energy Bennie has been giving him is childish im tired of Raymond being out down. He is trying to start over and trying to have a relationship with his son but that son is too up on his Arse if his mom was their no doubt she be yelling at him son or not...

Reviewer: Bredreaway Signed [Report This]Date: July 08 2013 10:47 pm
Welcome back! I missed this story. This update made me cry. I knew Bennie would regret how he treated Ophelia before she died now its come full circle. Not sure if he should have to accept Raymond's apology but I guess for the sake of his sister who is an innocent in all this, maybe he can find a way to at least tolerate Raymond. Hopefully Bennie will get his act together before he loses Keisha. I still don't really know what to make of Raymond raising a daughter who looks like Ophelia on his own. Once a child molester....At the very least someone needs to keep a close eye on Raymond with that kid. Can't wait to read up more on Kevin and his potential lady love. Loved it!
Author's Response:
Why do you think Social Services keep showing up? No one outside his family trusts Raymond with Justice. However, I'm not crossing that line. Raymond was wrong for what he did, but Ophelia is the only one. He does not want to hurt his daughter and he does not look at her that way. In that sense he is a father through and through. He has no sexual desires towards his own child. With that being said, now he wants to raise her with Bennie's help, but he doesn't know for sure if Bennie's on board. He still wants his sister's influence also because he feels that she's done such a good job with Bennie.
As for Bennie, he has a lot of unresolved pain that needs to be dealt with. More is coming on Kevin the the next chapter.
