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
So good to see that Severus isn't stone-hearted about the reported abuse! I've read stories (by Snape haters) where all Sev felt was glee that the child of his childhood nemesis had been abused! But I don't think even canon-Snape would have been that cold and morally bereft! And the fact that he's already acknowledging that Harry's *his* child is an excellent sign! But you've got me chewing my nails: Sev is a spy and bringing Harry into his home could be a "death sentence" for both of them and I absolutely *know* that Stumblingbore won't give a crap! He'll probably advise Sev to send Harry back to Durskaban; he won't want to give up his *weapon*! I know, you probably don't despise AD as much as I do, but even "good!Dumbasadoor" makes me watch his hand for "the knife"! Great chapter! Tks! MelJ
Good! Severus' self(?)-induced delusions about Harry's home life are already beginning to fray! I'll always believe that Dumbasf*** *wanted* Severus to believe the worst about Harry, so that he wouldn't object /too hard/ to the MOB's plans for Harry to become his very own sacrificial lamb! Oh, Sev, you're about to have all your nice, safe delusions shattered! Yeah, I ducked over to read this story you told me about. ;D Btw, yeah, the spelling on my pseud's different here: I've been on P&S since 2012, but when my late hubby and I were having probs in 2018, he deleted my email and I couldn't access my original account to change anything, so I had to re-subscribe. :p He apologized when we reconciled but the old email was unrecoverable. Anyhoo, interesting story; I can't help but think I've read this before, but as I don't have access to the old acct., I can't check if I favorited it. Thanks for the recc! Talk to you soon! MelJ
Poor Draco, I really feel sorry for him and hope he can be told what is going on with the same restrictions the others have. You responded to my review but the review response thing isn't working. It just says Author's Response and then its blank. I noticed it for another author. Can't wait till next week too!
Remus’ research is pulling up interesting ideas about the wizarding world and ours and I’m sure they will be significant but I can’t see how at the moment. Thank you for an excellent chapter Author's Response:
