Thanks, I know everyone's pulling for me/us. It's so very easy when you feel protective of someone (even your friends in cyberworld) to miss stuff...or assume too much.
Honestly...I do wish more people could have our MC. At least this time....she gave me a time frame of how long she thinks this process of him making progress on his issue should take....now that we all know more of what his "real" issue is. Sure, there's still more to uncover...I have no doubt this isn't going to be pretty. Who knows...maybe I have heard the worst of it....maybe I haven't.
Right now I have to admit though....I'd sure like one of my friends to take him out behind the woodshed and teach him a lesson. Right now I don't have the energy to do it myself....although the roses are still lying in the yard.
