Reviews For Electric Avenue
Why do you like to do that to me?! Harry, to me, is like Jane in "Jane Eyre" or Margaret in "Thursday's Child"; children who I want to grab up and take away from the awfulness of their lives! It was these feelings of empathy and wanting to *change* things for those fictional children of abuse that made *me* decide, *knowingly*, fiercely *decide* that I *wouldn't* be the kind of parent that *I* grew up with! My firstborn being laid in my arms flipped a switch in me that said, "Playtime is over! The time of being irresponsible and just doing what *I* wanted after surviving my horrible childhood is *done*! It's time to grow up and be the best parent possible and show my parents how parenting is *supposed* to be done!" And I did! I read *everything*, but I mostly treated my sons how *I* had *wished* I'd been treated; with unconditional love and acceptance! My discipline was fair, balanced, and loving! My mother finally admitted, just before she passed, that I was the mother she wished *she'd* had and been. Is it any wonder that the HP books horrified me? What's even worse is that older child psychologists say that the books have set child abuse acknowledgment, prevention, and remedying back *30 YEARS*! Children think that because HP continued to be abused and maltreated throughout seven years of books that it must not be that important! WTH?! Sorry, sorry, I'm climbing off the soapbox now. Harry deserves better and I hope your Severus is going to give that to him! See ya soon! MelJ
Also, I can't wait to see what Draco thinks of the whole situation. PS: I hope you know, every time I see your story title, I sing to myself "Oh no we gonna rock down to electric avenue"
Just a thought, surely the Dursleys know where Harry is so why doesn’t Dumbledore ask them?
