Oh wow, I'm really sorry that happened to you :(. That sounds like a lot of awful that piled up. I'm glad - and honored - that writing could help even a little.
That's one of the wonderful things about fiction. I often put my own issues into these - especially the ones dealing with depression - but once they leave me they take on a life of their own. Ed's seemingly contradictory nature (volatile but so very caring) is one of the things that draws me to his character. It's heartening to hear that it resonates so well :))
And I want to offer you some massive hugs - I hope things are starting to look up or at least even out.
(belated because work has been super busy) Thank you. *accepts hugs and squeezes you tight* I'm glad my comment came across how I intended. General feedback on stories is one thing I like to give, but sometimes it gets personal. Most authors I know appreciate hearing when their work affects people in a positive way, and I just wanted to share and express gratitude. Boyfriend and I read more Mother Arc together last night and I'm enjoying the second read through (I forget how many chapters behind I got) :) Things are looking up little by little. As I said, work's been busy but in a good way and I just got a raise/more trust. My living situation is weird and complicated because of the ex but I am safe and housed, and not paying much rent, so that's something. And I wrote for the first time in over a year, only 350ish words of an RP, but that's something for the first time since last June!
Anyway, hope you're doing well (I've yet to check if you've posted more entries but will). Thanks again for writing, and for reading!
