Usually it's the mother who finds it most difficult to cut off all ties with a child no matter what that child did to hurt them. I wonder what happened between Anna and her parents - her relationship with Bobby and moving away from them? But it's good she still has some family support and concern even though it's grudgingly. Hope Troy locates Anna before Bobby does.

It's the one the gas station attendant directed me too.
directed me TO.

A well-written chapter about a pressing problem in today's society. Your characters were believable and brought the story to life. I didn't see any errors that need correcting.

good job - sherry

I enjoyed this chapter of your story Barbara, it had a lot of emotion and feeling. It was cleverly written and very well thought out.

Barbara, you are Superwoman! This is a well-written post. I only have one question: did Troy shake his head or nod it? I'm a compulsive wordsmith, so this grated. I'd dearly love to read more right now, but please take some time to rest and regroup. Summer's not as long as it used to be. Congrats to your son! :) Nancy

Absolutely splendidly written.
You have us all in anticipation now.
Troy is really trying hard. Wow! Anna's father is a real old fart. Hiding away his real feelings.
I look forward to your next part.
Well done girl!!
I hope you are better as well. God bless.

Barbara:

Another excellent chapter. Sometimes when parents,
especially fathers, put their kids out, it is hard
for them to admit they still care as they feel like
they lose face when they do so.

Congratulations on your son graduating from high school.
That is a really big step. My daughter and son-in-law
are also preparing to shut down their classrooms for
the year. My daughter's school is closing due to the
economy so she is also waiting to learn where she will
be teaching next year.

thanks for sharing
love,
jan

Reads like the beginning of a good story.Well written, understandable, peeks the curiosity as to what happens next. However I do think using the expression "old fart" more than once is a mistake. Once is fine, but use other words to describe his cussedness if need be . It will be interesting to see what happens next. Cheery
