Summary:  Edward Cullen was a loner, an outcast. He clearly hated everybody, including himself. He was not a nice person. So, why was I so drawn to him? And why did I get the crazy feeling he felt the same way?
WARNING: This story will deal with the aftermath of child abuse and rape. If that bothers you too much, I strongly recommend that you don’t read.

I am so thrilled that Edward is starting to question his programming. He isn't bad. He deserves love. He is capable of it. He was a victim. It is such an important realization.

I hope they get to spend the night cuddling. It would be so nce for the both of them. Would Bella consider inviting Edward to join her in Phoenix? Would Edward go? SHe could maybe use the support.

Oh Edward. Maybe he needs to remember in order to move past it.... still, it is heartbreaking to witness him in so much pain.

That was a great talk between Carlisle and Bella. SHe is part of the family now. I am grateful that you didn't go into too much detail about his abuse. I know he was raped. Did he suffer physical damage as a result of that?
For the record, I hope James was raped in prison. I hear that child molesters often are.... that would give me some satisfaction.

This was wonderful. I love that Edward is finding it that he can be touched by his family and not be afraid. He is starting to feel safe and secure. He is learning to let his family in and open up. I adore him. I want him to be happy and well adjusted. I hope you continue this story through him being able to be intimate with Bella. I think that will be the ultimate test of his recovery. I don't want him to lose out on something so special.

Ah, Edward. He just has no self worth at all. It is so sad. Hopefully he will come to terms with his body's reactions to Bella. He is so frightened by them. I was proud of him for reaching out for his parents. He is letting them in.
