Congratulations on getting a new computer; I had to do the same and then figure everything out again as well. This chapter is like a detective story and I figured the Collier woman must be with a "safe haven" group. (About 30 lines from the end, I think the word "father" is missing from the sentence "Troy watched his leave.") Thank you for adding the notes about the rationalizations the abuse use. -Joan

Your notes are wonderful and helpful to many people I'm sure. People who have not experience this abuse have trouble understanding why the women stay. Thanks for sharing this information. It will be helpful to everyone. This is a worthwhile, well written story.

I love this story and your notes.That you put up the number for any with enough life left to try. My mom chose 4 husbands after my dad. They all cheated drank,and beat her. The one she was married to the longest shot her and my uncle,when I was 12. She forgave him. I lived with her for 9 months,and said get me out,or I'll get myself out. She took my bro. and I to Akron and within a week left and went back to him.She stayed with him till I was 19. He then shot her in the head with a 38,hollow point bullet. She miracously survived.She finally left him after that. He served 42 months. There are all kinds of abuse,and I think it is wonderful,that you are writing this story. Very well done.

You missed one if he's an acholic the fear if you leave he'll die. Knowing the children love their Dad and living with the guilt,if he does die. This story is very good and it needs to be told. Blessings Rita

    There are many reasons for staying. One reviewer last week added that he threatened to kill her family and friends if she left him. Thank you for your kind review and support.

Not really, but see that volunteer? - add question mark
A fascinating chapter as it appears Anna has gone underground. I do hope they locate her before her husband decides to have her charged with kidnapping.
Good dialogue throughout. Brooke

    Thank you for your kind review. I took a hit on my last post, I was told I use too much dialogue. I said, I would keep doing it unless a publisher or editor told me to not too. Thank you for your kind review and I will fix that ?

    You really never can satisfy everyone - use less dialogue and someone different will tell you there isn't enough LOL
