Not your comment, was more of a generalized statement. Just seems like a lot of conversation is based on parent POV or child/person with mental Illness POV i think these conversations are a testament to this authors ability to write so clearly on a hard subject. We are all triggered lol

As a parent to a kid who has mental health issues, it is very painful to read stories like this. It’s also hard to hear both POV’s be so unforgiving. These situations suck. Of course we (parents) are not equipped. We go to lamaze classes, not 8 years of childhood development and psychology classes at ivy League colleges. We’re out here in the trenches, doing our best, being human, crying behind closed doors, loving our kids even when we find it impossible, and feeling immense pressure from ourselves and those around us. We don’t know what we’re doing until it’s too late. Wisdom comes from experience. How do you balance your own mental health when you’re in charge of someone else’s? And that someone else drains the life from you? What do you do? This is not rhetorical. I would love the solution lol. Wish these situations were easier… for everyone involved.

Wow. Incredibly well written. I could stop reading but I also wanted to shove it away. Being a parent is so hard. The world makes it seem so easy, that anything is possible because it’s your kid and you will always love them unconditionally. It’s not always that easy. Mental health is so damn taxing. Love isn’t always enough. I think the hardest part of the story is watching the MC have to decide when love isn’t enough, and walk away to save himself and save his marriage. It hurt. But at some point you have to. Excuse me while I attempt to emotionally recover.

Oh man. All the feels. This story was difficult and lovely and so very hard to read because there is nothing non-fiction about it. Sidney loved the Judge. Meredith loved the Judges money. Ugh. So hard. Love the story. What a great kick off to the secret author.

Well written and enjoyable! I did expect the outcome fairly early on, which isn't a bad thing. Overall, I really enjoyed this story! Can't wait to see who wrote it.

Usenet. Wow. What's it like to be old?

I do not know how I missed this comment! Oh my, I would have responded a month ago! Better late than never? Anyway, thank you for reading and commenting. This is a story near and dear to my heart. It means a lot that you enjoyed it so much. I'm working on a story right now. It's probably 80% done. I admit, I'm stuck in a bit of a rut, but I'm hoping to claw my way out and get it finished asap.

I have no words. Carlos was one of a few authors here for whom I silently competed against lol. He was honest and encouraging and sometimes frustrating to interact with, but he always wanted the best from everyone. I cannot believe he is gone.

I've been so busy I have nothing ready for the secret author, but hopefully I can make something work for the antho!

I love getting to know authors better. I just would never know he was in his 80's and producing such great work! What a rockstar.

Thanks again. I'm working on a new story. Nothing crazy but it's pretty close to wrapping up! I've just been so busy it's not going as quick as I'd like.

The chapter with the real hate has yet to come lol

Aww, you’re too sweet. I appreciate it.

Gah, I can’t believe it’s been a couple of years! And yes, I think Matt acts appropriately given his age and experience. We grow into our experiences.

I do not think this is the flex you think it is. 😂😂😂😂

The ending of almost all of @Carlos Hazday stories

Why am I not surprise?

Loved Gay Vacation also. Ended up buying it on Amazon (now called Companion Required).

Impressive size vs temperature ratio.

This story was incredible. It's amazing how you take a simple item and turn it into something so incredible! By far my favorite so far.

This was wonderful! Good job @raven1. Can't wait to read more.

@kbois definitely would!!!
