@DivaDoodle I hope that coffee wasn't to strong just for my sake! :P
Ah, well, who knows if it was necessary to have all these warnings here... I don't know, I think this is a difficult topic that should be handled with care... out of respect for those that have actually gone through something like this.. so I hope I have done a good enough job there..
Also.. I don't know how other people will react to this, people are different.. for some, this is probably nothing.. others might find this awful, so I give a warning to be on the safe side so that people are prepared and not to shocked... And of course, there is also the age of the reader.. I don't know the age of people in general reading this forum, so there is that one too...
If I had written this story on a personal site or blog, I don't think it would have been to different. Some things will probably have been more fleshed out, and I would not have censored all the curse words, but in general I think the reading experience would have been pretty much the same.

Thanks about the pictures of Natalies past. I did write a chapter about that too, but only for me to understand fully where she came from, so that one won't be posted anywhere... besides, she has already recounted the most important of happenings. ;)
The wet ball of cardboard thing.. I don't know, that just showed up as a visual when writing this chapter, and putting myself in Natalies place.. writing this chapter, and a few others, has been an emotional experience for me too..
My empathy and feelings (yes, feelings! For a made up character!) for the character that is Natalie increased greatly after writing the chapter of her past... Admittedly, I didn't like her in the beginning, because she looked like a terrible mother herself... but then I had to uncover why she was who she was...so I went back in time to figure it out... and then I took a step back after I had written that part, and looked at it like..."Wow!"...and then I felt bad... "This is awful! This is terrible! It's so bad!"...
Poor, poor thing... :(
I lost interest in the story for a while, and felt a bit like abandoning it, but not entirely, because I had an idea of where I wanted it to go. So far, this story hasn't gone there, or it is certainly taking a detour! I never intended to write about bad parenting or abuse in the first place.. it just so happened to be..!
And yeah, though I may not have my rose coloured glasses on.. I don't think I would ever be able to write a story without there being hope. ;)
I did watch some youtube videos to learn about the horror genre... and apparently in some books there is no hope and everyone dies at the end.. and some people may even be disappointed if everyone doesn't die at the end.. imagine that! Hmm, but as for people dying in this story.. well, I don't know.. you'll just have to wait and see... :open_mouth:
