I only say - remind yourself of your feelings, of your sympathy, and of your understanding … and handle people, children as well as adults, which are showing any signs - whichever - of once being abused … with understanding and with help …
what does not mean I am not as evil as I pretend to be … ^.~ … believe me - I am …

well - I have to admit that I've been a bit discouraged about getting less and less reviews, honestly, and I have to admit that I even considered stopping the story here at all as people here do not seem to accredit an autor's work ... they're reading but giving no review at all ...
but seeing as it would be unfair towards the readers I have decided to continue updates on this one - but I guess I won't publish any new stories her as soon as this one here is finished ... sorry - but do do say what I think ... *shruggingshoulders* ...
