You are a veritable mine of information - almost bottomless in fact
-
She sure is! Hopefully T&A can get the GSA underway.
-
I guess someone is about to strike back
-
I think you are correct, but Adam is aware it was Troy who was attacked and won't want to do anything that might be taken to show Troy doesn't have his total support.
-
I said in the answer to an earlier comment from @travlbug that for most of his life the whippings Adam received were similar in type to what he knew other kids who went to the church received. Because he had no real friends at school he'd have grown up considering such treatment to be normal, but he did try his best to avoid them. It was only towards the end that they became truly abusive.
-
I'd say this was a very realistic view of the situation. There have been a lot of similarities in Kyle's home life which Adam has realized. Whether he will try to extend a hand to Kyle remains to be seen, especially thinking of how Troy might view such actions.
-
A good summary of the situation glennish. His mother would certainly have expected him to be at the store then and I somehow don't see her inviting him to join her for Thanksgiving
-
Thanks for the compliment. I'm very glad that readers feel they can 'invest' in these characters.
-
Adam has been on a rollercoaster with his emotions over the last few months. Perhaps he does need professional help, but he is not displaying any signs of that to those closest to him.
-
Adam was expecting something like that especially as he'd made it clear that he still retained some feelings for his father by wanting to go to his funeral - and by his actions there.
-
Time will tell How he was brought up may not have been ideal, but it wasn't abusive - until the fact that Adam was gay surfaced. He himself was 'indoctrinated' to believe in the teachings of the church his parents attended, but as his intelligence grew he started to question that.
-
I think until that point he hadn't realized just how abusive his mother is - he didn't expect to find that in the box.
-
Agreed.
-
Thanks for sharing that FanLit. I suspect that in time the belt will go in the rubbish. Troy moving it to 'their' room shows Adam that he is not alone and he is there to love and support him - together they are stronger than they are separately.
-
Your last sentence was indeed the intention. This could be her final gesture and it may simply have been her way of getting back at him for having the balls to come to the funeral.
-
I don't think he considers his parents to be blameless; indeed I'm sure he knows they weren't. I believe he thinks they believed in what they were doing because their 'God' (as portrayed by their church) told them to. He also thinks he is strong enough, with the help of his new family to put his early life behind him. Time will tell if he is right.
-
Now that's plain nasty
-
Yes, I'd think it would live longer or deeper in the mind.
-
Now that's an interesting thought :-)
-
Can't argue with that, Wesley

Is Eric's luck beginning to turn?

Of course I had to explain to Troy and Mrs C what I had found funny enough to laugh about as I'm sure they both thought it very strange that I could find anything funny about burying my father, especially in the circumstances under which I'd had to attend. However, when I explained my conversation with the Minister they both understood. Troy actually declared him to be a dick which brought a sound of disapproval from Mrs C who then suggested that 'idiot' might be more appropriate. I had thou

Thanks Wayne for those comments. Sometimes I have found that word prompts spark an idea that would never have come to me otherwise.

Thanks, Glennish. The ring definitely worked its magic in bringing Alan, Colin & Jake together.
