This is an excellent chapter and Troy was right to get her into that meeting as soon as possible because it's probably harder the longer you wait. Great work.

Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Malerie
Thanks, I have read some of the other chapters. You are leading those that have been abused to a better place. Your work is actually a "support group" of sort. Readers and those that have been or being abused can feel a part of Anna's world and go through the healing with her. Thanks for sharing, I've enjoyed reading your work.

Thank you for the kind review and the kind words. I appreciate both.
Comment from Adri7enne
It's probably a darn good idea to belong to one of those support groups when you've been banged about by some asshole. It must be really hard on your self-esteem. I've met women who defend their abusive partners like they were heros. All part of the pattern,I guess.
Well done, barb. It teaches the lessons while telling a good story. I enjoyed the read.
Have a good Holiday weekend.

Anna is a special situation. Most women return to their abusers, but they don't have the support Anna has. I appreciate your kind review.

'Lonely Hearts Meet, Part two, Chapter 13" by barbara.wilkey is another good part. Anna was never at fault. I'm glad she began part of a support group. So woman just have to go about their normal lives and forget the past. Well written. Nice.
And your reunion will be so much fun. You must be so busy in preparations this whole week. Have a wonderful time. Happy Thanksgiving. Cheers!

Another excellent chapter. I am familiar with how abused women tend to believe they deserved the treatment they received. You did a good job of showing this without becoming maudlin about it.

Barbara - I've been a bad boy and haven't been keeping up with your wonderful story. It was great to drop back in. Your writing and editing were flawless, as usual. It could be that someone is going to read this story and seek some help themselves! Always warm regards, Bill

Comment from rama devi
Aw, he IS a nice guy! This is a moving chapter. Very tender --vulnerable, sweet and real. Easy to read with excellent dialog and good use of action tags to bring things to life.
A few spag suggestions-
*Anna released a deep breath,(not sure about this comma--think you do not need it) before she and Troy entered the red-brick building.
*Inside(I do think a comma here would be effective) Troy led her up a flight of stairs and down a long hallway.
*Troy checked the number on an open door,(this comma is not required before he stopped.
Sorry I missed so many chapters!~ :)
Warm smiles,

Sorry it has taken me so long to thank you for your review. I wanted to make sure I had time to get the commas in the correct place.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
that's wonderful news.. your family altogether..
every mother's joy... it's not easy getting everyone
under one roof.
This chapter was emotional and touching.
When I was alone (with my 3 little lads)
the one-parent family group ran a shelter
for battered wives... even the decoration
of .. and it was always well attended... even
by battered husbands. Such a help and comfort
when on your own with your fears.

I turned 80 in October, and we're having about 12-14 family members for Thursday, actually all week. Lots of cooking, but I don't have to fix the turkey. Yay!
I've been following your story right along, just haven't commented like I should. It's a great story and I love the way you get the information in there without us knowing that you are. Maybe someone will have the courage to get the help she needs. Well done. Hope you're doing well. pat
