Another excellent chapter! Anna and her son are very lucky that Troy was there to call the police. Many haven't survived. I certainly hope she takes one of the options open to her. So many abused women stay out of fear, just like Anna expressed. But to her credit, she is more concerned about her son.
You are doing a great job of capturing the emotions and experiences of an abused woman.

I'm wondering why Anna's husband would be able to get out of jail so soon. What he did seems to be attemtped murder, and especially because the baby has bruises, I'm wondering if he could even get out alive. I completely understand why some women have to resort to killing their perpetrator. I'm saying it's right, but I'm coming to understand. This was another excellent chapter.

In SC a man will give a longer jail sentence for abusing his dog than he will for beating his wife. Thank you for your kind review.

What? Are you kidding? That's terrible!
Comment from stanishmichelle
I feel sorry for Anna, but it's time to stop hesitating about divorce. Yes, money is tight, but no more excuses about it, etc. Her life and son's should mean something, and the fact that she could be in a morgue, and not a hospital should be a reality call for her. Troy is offering help, TAKE IT. At least hear his father before making another excuse for staying in an abusuve marriage!! This is a great chapter, and I also hope your Easter was blessed like mine.

Thank you for your kind review. Remember these women's self-esteem is nonexistant.

Thank you for reminding me about that. It's just hard for me to understand, although I feel sympathy.

Can't wait for the next. Nice natural flowing dialogue, I like that your using a lot of it. Characters you want to root for. Good amount of suspense and forward moving plot.

Troy is an absolute treasure. Great dialogue that sounds completely natural - you convey her fears for her and the baby's safety effectively as well as showing how worried she is about finances, and you show Troy's quiet determination to make sure she is happy and safe. Brooke

I am really enjoying this story of abuse. YOu are treating the subject so well. Characters and dialogue are not cardboard but real true to life people. You have certainly written life in all of them.
Excellent story line. Have a wonderful Easter yourself.

Comment from Permelia
When I handled Property Management in Oregon, I had a woman who the police brought from California, and placed in one of my apartments to keep her safe. After 4 or 5 months of living there, I dropped in to visit for a few minutes as I usually did, and found a note saying she couldn't live with out the man, and decided to go back to California to him. I never heard from her again. I have never understood why a woman will go back to live with a man who has beat her up so severely.

Well done, girl. I like the way you handled this chapter and how gently you had him approach her. Hopefully she will listen and take the help being offered. Situations like this one only get worse the next time around!! Sigh, you tell this story very well!!!

My pleasure. Your stories are always well written and grab the reader right into their plots!!!
Comment from teacherdub
Your timing on this one is perfect. Easter is a perfect time to read about Anna's recovery. The flow is sustained in this part. The dialogue is leading the reader to surmise two things: 1) Anna and Troy's relationship is growing 2)she will only be safe as long as Bobby stays locked up!
I like where you are taking the relationship between Troy and Michael. The added dimension to his character enriches the plot sequence. God bless! td
