    An unusual piece but very good writing and although it cannot be enjoyed it certainly gripsyou. I am so sorry about your loss i remember the first birthday after i lost my mother and the pain of it. It will ease although always be there

    Author's Response:

    Thank-you. I know others have lost their parents and that everyone moves on eventually. I mean, I've gotten on with my life. But every now and then a song will come on the radio or I'll watch a movie or I'll pick up my phone to call her, and it's just a crushing blow all over again. Thank-you for telling me that it will get better, even though I knew that somewhere deep inside. Thank-you.

    I like the way you said that. "very good writing and although it cannot be enjoyed it certainly grips you". I love that! I don't want people to enjoy this fic, because it is an abusive fic and child abuse should never be enjoyed. And the suicide, which came at me from nowhere, is certainly a slap in the face. Thanks for taking the time to review. It helps me grow as an author. ~dpa06~

    O my, what to say?
    This is story so horrible, sad, bitter sweet, but brilliantly described and written.
    Thank you for the happy end, otherwise I
    would be really depressed now.

    I am very sorry for your loss, you must miss your mum terribly.

    Author's Response:

    I was horrible, and that's what I was going for. I was in a very angsty mood and I wanted an angsty fic. I did try to balance it out a little with a better ending. I had the beginning and ending worked out in my head with the basic idea of abuse throughout the middle. However, I didn't quite know how I was going to link them all. The suicide was from nowhere; I don't know where it came from. I'm glad you liked it enough to review.

     

    I do miss her. Unbelieveably. I mean, I can't even describe it. I pick up my phone and try to call her all the time. Thanks for your condolences. ~dpa06~

    Wow sad and harsh but well done.I look forward to more of your stories. I'm sorry for your loss.

    Author's Response: Sad and harsh is kinda what I was going for, but I can't seem to get away from happily ever after endings. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for your condolences. That also makes me feel a little better. I mean, I wasn't trying to garner sympathy by adding that at the end of my fic. But I do appreciate when someone says something. Thank-you. ~dpa06~

    Wow. Seriously, that was one of the best one-shots I've ever read. It's just so powerful, so tragic and yet so plausible in the potentiality scene, and I'm so glad that you turned it around into a positive ending, because too many fics like this just leave it as the most depressing ending.
    I'm really sorry to here about your mum, I can't even begin to imagine how awful it must be, thankfully.

    Author's Response: I was in an angsty mood, so it was a pretty awful fic. I was trying to up the abuse a little, but keep it realistic. And thanks for the condolences for my mom. I've lost family members and friends before, but someone as close as my mom was truly heartwrenching. I mean, I can think of a way to describe it beyond awful. Thanks for reading and reviewing; it helps me as an author. Especially since this is my first Sevitis fic. ~dpa06~

    Author's Response: Thank-you! I've been reading here for years, and then suddenly got the bug to write a Sevitis fic. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reading and reviewing. ~dpa06~
