@ mrsmshadz Yeah, it was... But that's all there really was for that part of it. It was like, a long one-shot. I suppose I could have just told it all in one story, but I really felt each section of the story needed it's own layout, for visual stimulation purposes. Because each part is different.
@ Parawhorree!x Lol... You're forgiven. And, as you'll see in the next chapter, it only "appears" that he "hates" his mother. I am glad that you enjoy my stories, and do enjoy reading your thoughts on them, it just really did come off a little bit like you were telling me that I had no idea what I was writing, and it's one thing to offer constructive criticism, but quite another to imply that someone doesn't know what they're writing about and it's "wrong" simply because your experience is otherwise (which is how it came across).
@ Embracing Shadows I think you took my comment negatively, which i think it could have easily been taken like that, even though i didn't mean it to "/
i apologise if it seemed i was just telling you it was all wrong. I didn't mean for it to come off that way at all. I really enjoy your stories and always get excited for your updates, so to think you maybe thought I was criticising them made me shocked and a little disappointed in myself for not explaining myself properly!
I just meant that such as yourself ive had experience with children too and my own experience along with my brothers and sisters have experienced not having a parent around for long period of times, and we/they have been very angry at that parent and yes, even implied that we hated them. But whenever we see them we would forget that we 'hated' them because we never really hated them at all. We were disappointed by the parent over and over-still are actually. But you know what they say, anyone can survive if they have hope because its apparently the strongest emotion. And we are always hoping that parent will pull through for us "/
i had wrote the last comment twice because im using mobile (i only comment if i really like the story btw) because it messed up and i got fed up of typing the second time around and didn't explain myself properly. Now i look back on it, it did seem as if i was coming off rude or something. So again, im sorry.
@ mrsmshadz I thought he would too. Damn bastard didn't do what I wanted him to! I swear, my stories have minds of their own sometimes... There may end up being a sequel to this one too... Cause the plot for this one is nearly wrapped up. Or maybe just because I love doing different layouts so much, and certain elements to each part of this story have a different feel to them, and therefore need a different visual/story title. Does that make me weird?
Damn shit just got real!!! I thought Matt would be upset because she didn't say anything in the beginning but he didn't so haha Val lol anyways great update!!
@ Parawhorree!x You're entitled to your opinion. In my opinion, with which I've had quite a bit of experience 'confusion & sadness' quite easily are portrayed as rage with certain temperaments. Even in small children. I have had to deal with children who are angry and lash out quite violently when they don't understand what's going on. But you're entitled to your opinion, just as I'm entitled to mine. Neither is "wrong".
It sounds like Casey was depressed when she dumped matt then found out she was pregnant. I have been depressed a few times, so i know that the emotions you are supposed to feel for certain things are like, backwards. E.g one should feel love for her baby, depression makes you feel hate. Its so hard, and i hope she can get her son to love her. But i think the feelings from the son are portrayed wrong. When you are that young, it wouldn't be hate he would feel towards Casey but confusion and sadness. Because also from experience a kid won't truly understand why she wasn't there and no matter how much that parent has hurt them they are always hopeful that they will love them...
