I love Dana. It looks like she's going to have a close realtionship with Nancy.

Awesome update. I hope Nancy finds some peace.

What has gotten in to Tam? Is it the harmones?

Love the update. I just wish Tam would have a little more faith in her daughter.

I was so excited when I saw this updated. I went bonkers.

Now to Nancy, I wish she could open her hart. If she would listen, she would see the world and her family are all not against her. I think Dana going to be the key to this story.

Very intriguing. I can't wait to read more.

Laura father is something. I wonder what role his job played in her mother's death? Also, where are Laura's bothers. Her family doesn'particularlly t seem close.

Awesome chapter!!!

Loving the new story. Merry kids are selfish. I'm glad Merry has decided to get life. She and Caleb are going to set that bed on fire.

I really didn't want this story to end. There is so much deapth to Merri. I like that she found herself.

On side note, Tam annoyed the heck out of me. She was all up in her mother's business. I wonder what was the deal with her?

Raymond is certainly getting his just deserts. Like his sister said he created the monster, now deal wih it.

My only regret is that Ophelia is unblanced. Margie was never the mother she needed. Futhermore her own bitterness to Ophelia is distrubing. I now can see why Ophelia is who she is. I just hope she gets help before the baby arrives. Bennie needs to save Ophelia before se detroys herself. I
feel that Bennie is her salvation.

Raymond is getting his and the most inconvenient time.  Ophelia is still trying to pay him back and that's what has he so unbalanced.  More is coming.

Ophelia and Raymond are like no other couple I read about. I don't know if I should bask in their love of each other or be disgusted. They done so much dirt to each other yet there entwined. In a sick way there perfect for each other. Ophelia and Raymond are both using counseling session to manipulate their family.

Ophelia wants to get back on Benny's good graces. She chooses not see that beginnings of her relationship with Raymond is not normal. She may not have daddy issues but there something not quite right about her. I suspect it has a lot to do with her upbringing with Margie. Ophelia was force to be more mature beyond her years. Then when you Raymond to the mix her sexuality became hyper-sensitive at such age. What he did to her felt good and she confused and shamed.

With Raymond, he just he is just a shameless manipulator and he makes no apologies. He likes to dictate and control everyone in his tight circle. He saw his sister marriage to Jacob as a threat to the family unit. He saw Bennie as an object to control and shape. And Ophelia was and is his drug of choice.

As for Margie, Raymond true character is on display with how he set her up. He could resist his God mentality. He wanted get back at Margie because for so many years she had the power.

It surprise me how willing Ophelia was to able to leave her mother in the past. For so many years she was all she had. I just hope Ophelia and Raymond don't screw Justice up with their sick mind games. Bennie is right to keep some distance between himself and his birth parents.

What can I say?  You are so on point with both Raymond and Ophelia.  They are each other's drug of choice.  I couldn't have said it better myself.  Raymond didn't kill Margie because he didn't want to take a chance that maybe Ophelia would resent him for it, so he just got rid of her.  More is coming!

Bennie needs to grow up. Get down on his knees and beg Keisha for forgiveness. Accept that Raymond is his biological father and move on. Be a good brother to Justice because she is going to need him. And let his parents and friends be a part of his life.
