    Gripping , very well written story Sad it is abandoned or, maybe,a WIP.
    She may be a powerful healer, but I am so ***** by their constant 'soothing' of Harry's true, honest feelings of despair, tears, rightful anger at all their pushing him around. By never letting him voice his fury, disgust, powerlesless and loneliness. By constantly sending streams of calm denial into him, don't they see, they are setting him up to be second generation Iron-face bitter, cold Harry Snape? With a lack of empathy and words to talk about his own feelings. Oh they want a son, but not the full, prickly,honest human boy, but an easy-to- live- with-for them- cardboard robot, that is not allowed to be true and vocal. God, they suck at having any empathy or psychological wisdom, and respect for what the boy is living through right now and in his lonely past. It makes me spit fire,
    and having had family members who also only accepted the 'cardboard easy girl,'
    Miss Arabella, what you are doing to Harry is the opposite of love. It is
    stifling, blinding, the real Harry - the poor boy wants so much to be accepted by Any adult, that he is willing to go along. Severus is the perfect picture of a adult that lost his inner boy.And no one ever let him find back to himself.She soothes him, all right, but she doesn't dare live together with the real pain-filled Severus,Some Wife!
    Arabella and Dumbledore are two peas in a pod.Manipulators that don't see their own games.
    And they are supposed to be Harry's family! This is not a positive story. it is hurtful to read, knowing the consequences of this maiming.
    Go smash some pottery, Harry and call them out on their behaviour. then, you can be soothed afterwards.
    To thine own self be true.
    It looks as if adults get to manipulate children without ever being told to desist. Lovely morale, that. True 'wuve'.
    I read this with stifled breath.
    Thank you for pulling open an old pain.
