This chapter is well written and makes a good addition to your story. One cannot help but wonder about what is going to happen next. Will Bobby be there? And if so, will he cause trouble?
Thanks for sharing this. JW

Right now Bobby is in jail, but there will be some surprises. Thank you for your kind review.
Comment from Bayberry
You got me with this one early on with the homemade biscuits hot from the oven. Yummy! I buy my homemade jam locally from a group of Mennonites. It's delicious.
I like the appreciation Anna shows as she walks through the
empty apartment. It helps give the story the feeling of reality.
Small suggestion:
re: ....the police and Eric Young, your husband's attorney will meet us at your former residence.
re: On their way to Anna's former residence, silence filled the car.
(Since the same term 'former residence' has been repeated and it sounds a bit formal, you might want to consider using something more casual like 'your old place' in the first paragraph.)
It's important that you've brought out the fact that a lot of abuse doesn't get reported because the victim is embarrassed over it happening.
Your story is a good one to help women in abusive situations. Anna is showing a positive determination in the conclusion. :> Josie

Love how you write a story about abuse and the confusing time that Anna is still going through.
Well don't I don't know what it is but I still have a bad feeling Anna should be very careful.

Very good chapter Barbara. It is true how victims try to hide the abuse out of shame. Isn't that wild,that is how an abusive person plays on the mind and emotions of the abused.The story is progressing great,and I look forward to the next part.

Hi Barbara,
I havent had the chance to read any other chapters, but this one was well-written, and does a good job of setting up the next chapter. Enjoy your vacation

Comment from Helen Tan
Hope you're enjoying your break.
I didn't spot any SPAG.
Anna is lucky to have Betty and Margaret to babysit. Otherwise it could be hell bringing a toodler to the lawyers and to her old home to do packing.
"I can do this." She nodded. "I'm ready."
Not an easy step but necessary. It will be emotional because despite all the bad, there might be some happy memories that will tear her. I hope there's no surprises waiting for her at the old home.

Another slice of Anna's life in learning how to deal with abuse. I can see every forward step is very difficult and I never thought about all the people you have to face after having hidden the abuse from everyone. Well done and enjoy the rest of your vaction.

You are back. So glad, I am anxious to see where this goes. I like the way you continue the consistency of your characters in here and show the feelings, especially of Anna. Continues to be very realistic.

So far, Anna is very lucky and I think it's smart to give Paul her spare key. Bobby still makes me nervous, he'll get a chance to try and get even eventually.
Great chapter,
Connie
