It is unfortuete that as outsiders we can't imagine someone taking back an abusive spouse, but the reality it, they almost always do, and almost always forgive, and almost always don't even press charges. Many even wind up dead.

Comment from Perp Ihebom
This is another interesting chapter and here you have enlarged the plot and the characters. Troy's parents sound interesting and it's almost as if there's another story hiding behind them. Very well done

Such a deep concept addressing such a prominent issue. I adore your use of thought v. dialogue. Excellent prose, a couple of grammar issues, but nothing major. Can't bring myself to bring you down to 4 stars because of it.

Thank you for the kind review. I am going to fix those areas, this weekend. I was too busy this week to.
Comment from Moonlith
Another well written chapter. I enjoy reading each one. I like how you add new characters and how you give us bits and pieces about their lives. Troy's mother seems so real, just like any mother that loves her son. In each chapter I learn a little more about Troy. I like the character of Troy's father but feel some undercurrent between them that might be revealed in the next chapter. The comments that Troy makes to himself gives the reader insights into his feelings and past and present life. Nice job once more. Thanks for sharing. I will continue on to read more chapters.

Thank you for your kind review. Poems are shorter to read.
Comment from dmjones
Hi Barbara, this is an excellent chapter. One of my daughters is with an abuser when he gets drunk and you're right their self-esteem is low. The abuse only makes it worse.
A couple of things, this first sentence doesn't read as smooth as the rest.
A woman officer carried Michael and walked beside the stretcher (Suggestion: A woman officer carrying Michael walked beside the stretcher)
Paul stroked at (delete at add a) worn baseball sitting on in a display on his desk

Whew! At least she's still alive and the baby still has a mother. I enjoyed this excellent chapter and hope you're doing well.

I've started following your story with some interest, and will be keen to see where it ends up - judging by your intro, there will be a few twists and turns to come.
Just one small typo to report; 'Paul stroked at worn baseball '
