Poor Edward.  He is trying too hard.  I wish I could snuggle him and tell him it was okay for him to be him.

Aww, he feels awful for pushing her. But he better not try to do a "New Moon" or I'll kick his butt ;)

Hi Nilla!

I'm sorry I don't review more consistently. I guess I spend too much time running my mouth on the thread. The cliffie was suspenseful but since you never make us wait long I forgive you LOL. I think Edward is probably upset that he couldnt have a normal evening and that he pushed Bella. Or at least he will once he comes back around. I feel bad for both of them but I hope maybe this makes Edward understand that he has to work with Angela.

:( poor edward

Oh no - poor Edward! He is so not Ok - Victoria totally screwed him up & set him back in his progress. Hate her for that! I hope he finds the right therapy to move forward again! Loving the story!

Does he realise yet that he is not 'fine'?

I will place my trust in you but I reserve the right to hate you if it all goes terribly wrong!!

Poor Bella

Oh shit. He's really going to hate himself for that isn't he?

Urgh.  Poor Edward and Bella.

Happy Holidays to you!

Edward is trying so hard.  It is such a difficult process.  I do love that he is doing more to heal.

no lemon complaints here...keep doin what ur doin.. if they did it would throw the whole thing off kilter...

it bothers me when readers complain to authors about what they should do or have in the authors OWN story. Its your story to do what you want if they dont like it they dont have to read it. Anyways I agree with Bella, whats the point of going if he isnt gonna be honest. I cant wait to see him work through the issues and looking forward to seeing how he acts around Jasper on the possible movie date

Men. Eesh!

Loner, I think yor story has been a very honest telling of someone who has been abused. This chapter and Edwards reactions - someone who wants to just be better and not wanting to take the steps to get there is excellent. I am with you every chapter. Keep up the great work.

I almost get the sense Edward is looking for a quick fix to all his anguish----I'm not sure he understands he will have to wade through all the muck, not step around it. He and Bella are stepping into uncharted territory.....it may very well feel worse before things get better. Clearly Bella is committed to him and seeing things through....that's half the battle right there. Enjoying the continued effort Edward is making with his family, the progress is slow but it is there. As for any lemons.....it simply wouldn't make any sense at this time and wouldn't be true to your characters....stick to your guns Nilla, this is your story and your vision, I'm loving how you are putting this together. Look forward to more as always.
