    I think there is still a bit of fuel left in the tank, Geron. Perhaps because it took Mrs C a long time to have a child of her own she has a different attitude/approach?

    Thanks, Flesco. Yes, Mrs C is proving almost as much of a support for Adam as Troy. He has come to love her and that is mutual. The visit to Kyle should indeed prove interesting.

    Nice idea, but I think he'd be asking for big trouble if he did.

    Very true! The English language is very limited in such circumstances! Adam I'm sure hopes Kyle can shed further light on what happened when the police burst in.

    That would be a big step for him Wesley, but as his own mother has disowned him perhaps it will happen.

    I agree Chris about the funeral. Have to say I can't see Troy breaking the promise he gave to his mother, but...........

    Each to their own In the end Adam felt he had to go, perhaps as a way of proving to his mother that she hadn't won?

    Chapter 19

    As soon as I saw that she had addressed me in name only and that the 'Dear' which one would expect, was missing, I felt a roiling in my gut. I knew that what I was about to read would not be pleasant and could very well be unpleasant. What had been a great and successful day was about to be spoiled – possibly even destroyed. On reading the first line I saw that the worst fear I'd had, that she would bar me from the funeral, hadn't happened. From there though I started to feel that a knife wa

    It is a hard decision for him to make I agree. He'll almost certainly regret it, and perhaps even feel a little guilty, if he doesn't go. If he does go and there is any incident with his mother or anyone else, he will regret not having decided to stay away.

    How long before Connor is on the phone to Rachel I wonder? Hope Opening Night goes well.

    You could argue Jeff has got what he deserved and earned. The trouble is that others have had things happen to them as a consequence.

    Thanks, Mally! Yep, it seem life never stays good for long for Adam. He keeps getting kicked in the gut, but so far remains unbeaten

    I'm with you, Jay. But she didn't see what her husband did to Adam as abuse, only an attempt to save him. Because he refused to be saved he is in effect 'dead' to her, although very much alive, while her husband is indeed dead - something she doesn't want to accept.

    Thanks Flesco. An interesting take on the Ma Pa relationship. You could be right as Adam was always more likely to blame his father as he was the one who carried out the beatings. Does Adam want to turn the funeral into a media circus? Another interesting thought.

    Thanks Geron. You've summed up both major issues very neatly.

    True - and for her that makes her reaction logical.

    I'm sure wanting to know more about what did happen to A&T must have helped with the turnout, but the completed forms indicates an actual interest. Adam's parents - or their church - seems to be one of those that follow only certain things in the bible.

    Very sorry about what happened to you CG. At least Adam now has a family to love and be loved by.

    I hadn't checked on that, but I can definitely believe it has happened.

    Thanks Glennish. You're evil about not changing their wills but it would be poetic justice. Actually, they are probably the sort who wouldn't make a will. Somehow I don't think the police officer would be welcomed either.

    I think she hopes that what she has said in the note may make him decide not to come. Am also of the view that she wouldn't want the service marred by a scene, hence the note now in the hope he'll either not come or if he does, stay clear of her. Have no idea about the legal situation, but I guess the church could refuse him admission. Then though there is the possibility of a scene.
