barbara,

This story reels the reader in and makes him want to protect Anna the way that Troy wants to. Well done with emotion and imagery.

    I have changed that sentence many times. I think Troy better quit feeding this lady. It's too difficult to get the sentence correct. (LOL) I will attempt to get it right this time.

Your story really grabs hold and paints a clear picture of an abusive cycle. Anna and Troy are interesting and intriguing characters. I look forward to continuing the read.

This is really coming along very well. I'm really hoping that Troy is for real. I'm betting that's probably the plan but it'll be fun to read how things unfold. M.E.

I hope you have your character 'beat' the situation with strong wits and a solid mind! Others who suffer abuse could use a good example to follow. Someone once said to me when I asked 'why do they stay', they said, "It's like being cornered by a rattle snake. All you have to do is grab it by the back of the neck and throw it out of the way. And, you could get bit, hurt and even die, but it's certainly better than living a life of fear! But how many of us are brave enough to grab a poisonous snake!" I agreed and totally understand now! I noted a mistake shown below. Just a little typo....well done.

"These are bruises." He pointed to the marks. "I won't pry, but I do care." He watchef [watched] for a reaction. "Is that why you're reading up on divorce?"

    I will take care of that typo, I had worked on that line last night and still have an error. I like the visual you have me.

    You've got a good thing going here--there's such a need to encourage these abused people...Best wishes to you!

What a great guy. I couldn't stand by and see someone going through that either. My dad never hit my mom in their fights, but my mom never held back. She usually hurt herself when she hit him, LoL. One time she kicked him in the shin and broka a toe. I thought my dad was pretty cool to keep his temper in check at those times. Good chapter and I enjoyed it.

    I raised four boys and to be honest every once in a while I would have to swat their butts. I am 5'4" tall, all my boys were taller than me at a young age, and weighed more. The took their swats, but later teased because I usually got a bruised hand from it.

Barbara, this is a very well penned, captivating storyline. Anna's low self esteem is once more illustrated in her self doubts. I hope Troy becomes a good friend who can provide true support without any hidden agendas. The artwork you selected is a perfect match. Excellent work, my friend.

I can relate to this. I was in a abusive relationship and this stuff is real. I love the way you put her thoughts into another font and size. It made for a much easier read. And I love that you made someone awar of this woman's problem. And I love the last paragrahy where he can't give her his number because her husband looks in her hand bag. That is so true. I know first hand that these abusive men are masters at totally isolating you from the rest of the world. Great writing.
