Yes, we do disagree. The kind of support Jack is talking about is not in the things that happen between Billy and Jack. It is about what happens between others and Jack in things regarding Billy. Think Billy's mom, the pastor, etc.
-
You are right that this is not necessarily the truth. We don't know. However, I think he is telling an important truth here. I can see Jack supporting Billy and have no reason to think this is not true.
-
Nah, those are opinions, not necessarily true
-
While you are all focussing on Jack and Joey and their perceived wickedness, you miss the most important thing. The only truth that was spoken in this chapter, was spoken by Jack: “You want to talk about trust? Let’s talk about a woman who claims that she loves my son, but then rejects him and tosses him aside like garbage when she finds out that he’s gay! I’ve never rejected you, Billy. I’ve been your biggest supporter! Your mother broke my son’s heart and treated him like garbage.” Amen! (pun intended)

Haha, you are right. Those were no attacks. I just wanted to play the drama queen for a bit
-
I'm very tempted to look up my earlier comments about how I think Billy is a weak boy and Joey is not the asshole everyone thinks. But I can't find it. It must be buried under all the attacks I received for it

While avoiding fearful situations certainly has its merits (when done in moderation), I don't think it is a way of conquering fears
-
Where does it say it is fantasy?
-
So sad Very brave of you to tackle this taboo subject.

if you listen carefully, you can hear my heart breaking...

I think conquering fear is about preparation and allowing yourself to fail. Preparation can be physical, but is mostly mental. Imagine yourself in the dreaded situation and think through different scenarios. Then try it out in the real world. If you fail, no problem, just start over and use your newly gained experience to prepare better for the next try.

This is a lovely story. No over the top drama, but not emotionless either. For me a perfect balance. The author skilfully keeps the story interesting. Very difficult to do when the basic idea of the story is not unknown. A recommended read!

I smell a last minute edit here:
-
Nice twist!
-
Good riddance. And hopefully some kind of closure for you.

I am a great supporter of experiments. However I am afraid I have little to none poetic ability. Maybe other candidates are a better choice?
-
Fascinating indeed. It is very interesting to see how this turned out so whole and complete. I wonder if the fact that the authors know each other pretty well has had influence. Seeing this done by two strangers would be very interesting. Would the result be equally good?
-
Lol, I just reread this. It sounds really angry towards @droughtquake. That was not at all my intention. I wrote it just after reading this chapter and that obviously did not affect me at all
-
So? that does not make it any better. She still chooses an imaginary friend in the sky over her own son.
-
You are not going to find the answers here. All you can get here are opinions. And you know what they say about those...
-
Tremendously funny!
-
Not yet. I'll try that for my next trip. Thanks for the tip I hope this one works, did you try it?

When going on a road trip I like to have some chapters of the story I am reading available offline. I have used Safaris reading list for that. But last time it did not work, because it says the content is "not available for offline reading". Then I tried Instapaper. Instapaper was able to save 1 chapter for offline reading. Any additional chapters of the same story overwrite the earlier one. It seems this is something connected only to this site. Is anyone aware of a solution for this? Besides, printing/pdf-ing every chapter
