Another well written, SPAG free, chapter. Things do seem to be looking up for her. Even though you had a tough relationship with your mother, it seems like she was willing to help you out when needed. I shall press on.

This was a good chapter, I read the 57th chapter first, so I know what happened there. Your writing is very good. The thought and emotions come through very well.

I read this in the wrong order, but that has taken away form the quality of writing or my ability to follow the story. Once again another riveting chapter.

This is written really well. I've found no typos or spag at all. You are so lucky in that you could go home to your mother. She may see only what she wished to see, and be unable to accept anything you ever told her, but at least she loved you enough to let you stay.
I'm glad Valerie was safe at home.
Warmest wishes

Hi there, again!!
So short, so short ... but I presume this chapter was just a brief introduction to your mum with more to come. So I will move onto the next posting ... Marion.

Again Smurphgirl I can see a strength in you building and now a softening at the same time,like a balance is about to happen,but its just few more things must happen to solidly ground your character.Ohhhhh! this is so good I wish I had the whole book to curl up with.Again a job extremely well done.Cranial Thinker

A more peaceful chapter than the last one. I can understand why you would prefer the house to a car with all your injuries. Nicely written chapter.

I read the last two chapters out of order. This is another very well written chapter. Her mom is oblivious to anything the daughter does. How sad. I enjoy your writing. - Sam

You story is going well. The feeling you express come across nicely as does your relationship with your mother and some of conflicting emotions you feel like the love/hate relationship.

"but my inability to manipulate the spoon, sugar bowel,"
in this sentence I think you meant "bowl."

Well, I had to find out what happened next. I really must go back. You describe so well the complexitiy of families, especially when problems are not spoken about. This was a calming chapter. I liked your descriptions of the house; what a change from the motel. The only thing I can critique is that your first three lines started with 'I'. That can be easily changed though. Now I'm off to read the next one. Penelope
