Another wonderful chapter. Returning to the scene of
where you have been abused, regardless of the type of
abuse there has been, is bone chilling, at best, and
very hard on the nervous system, at worst
thanks for sharing

barbara.wilkey ,
how powerfully raw this is....too real for comfort...you knows what women and children have to put up with..thank you for writing...for unveiling the truth...domestic violence is definitely a killer of the body, but mostly of the spirit

I think you are doing a good job of describing the things a victim must put up with. It is too bad that his mom could not go to jail with the son. Great job.

Comment from Adri7enne
The subject matter is hard for me to stomach, Barb. Makes me angry and depresses me. Chee! Her in-lawa, uh! Somebody should beat the crap out of her. No wonder her son turned into an abusive bully.
I came close to getting into that kind of relationship when I was very young. Taught me a valuable lesson. A man with clenched fists is my greatest nightmare. It would surely have turned into another "Burning Bed" story.
Good writing, with spag-free prose and a fine pace. Well done, girl.

Thank you for your kind review not every post is that graffic. The next is slightly but this one is the worst, then there's none for a long time.

Oh oh, the eternal triangle of the intruding, and very blind mother in law. This chapter is full of over charged tension and name calling. Good write.

OMG Barbara,this was almost too hard to read. My mom lived with so much of this,and kept repeating the mistake. I have known 'mothers' just like this one. Too real. Very well done,I will be glad to see her out of there.

Comment from Carolyn Hilliard
Hi Barbara. Great job. Did not find any typos, SNAGS etc.
Mama Rodgers is really blind to her son's nature. Or in DENIAL which means don't even know I am lying. Looking forward to more of the story.

I think she's in denial. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from WilliamDeen
What a brutal and heart-wrenching position to be in. Reliving the abuse and having to face the in-laws who obviously believe their son to be innocent. Except the dad. Sounds like he might be beginning to come around to the truth. Good writing with descriptions, details, and emotions. billy

Comment from Writingfundimension
This chapter elicited a lot of strong emotions for me. I think you did a superb job of keeping the reactions controlled and a bit understated in Anna and Paul, while really making the mother-in-law come off as a total ass. This is great writing, but also true-to-life. Bobby got to be the way he is for good reasons it looks like. This chapter was one of my favorite so far, barbara. Well done! Bev

Wonderful piece, though terrifying real. The pace was prefect, the dialogue was dead-on and unfortunately the mother-in-law was true to the core. Great writing. Thanks for sharing
