Overall story jelly beans accumulated here.

I’m not surprised that there were some heavy emotions in this chapter, since Pam is essentially reliving all of her trauma that she’s tried to suppress - and in front of her abuser, his family, and hers.
I’m really looking forward to Roy’s arrest. I won’t call it a happy ending, because I don’t feel like any of this can end happily, but I hope that him being jailed might bring closure.
Question; will he ever admit to the abuse? I know it wouldn’t really make sense for his case, but I feel like I just need to hear him say it. Maybe in a fit of rage… I don’t know.
Well done as always.

That was... Wow. That was hard to read. Jim definitely kept his cool, but I can’t imagine being torn into like that for saving someone you love. I can’t imagine someone *defending* a person as horrible as Roy. I’m just glad it’s over.
Whatever you went through... I’m sorry.

I’m a little sad to hear that the end is near, but it’s been a journey. Since you are accepting requests:
Everything Merria said, with emphasis on Pam’s emotional journey. It’s obviously going to take Pam time to recover and the trial and Roy being locked up are not going to solve all of her problems.
Was the abuse that Pam talked about in Chapter 16 sexual abuse? If so, I NEED to see Roy get his comeuppance for this. He deserves it for everything else, but god, that just makes me shake with anger.
I want to see Roy’s mom’s reaction to the reality that her son really did abuse Pam. Adding onto that, perhaps Roy could explode with anger and seal his own fate?

Author's Response:
Hi. Thanks again for reading and your lovely comments. You always leave such nice/supportive messages. I like the idea of a few chapters on healing (as Merria suggested as well) Suggestion all noted and thank you so much.
Chapter 16. I purposely did leave it ambiguous. Was walking a line without being too triggering on one side with being delicate with the topic on the other as well, I wanted to handle it very carefully and let people come to their own conclusions. That way if it's too hard for some people to experience this in the stor along side of Pam - and I truly understand that would be not be easy for everyone to read, then a reader would have the option of deciding the meaning for themselves, however they absorb it emotionally.
But yes, to your question. yes. There are references - subtle or unsubtle depending on the person - from the very first chapter of the first story regarding the extent of the abuse. I hope that made some sort of sense. Thanks again so much.

The feeling of Jim being lost pervades everything here. Logically he understands why she left. But his heart hasn't caught up to that. So it feels like he's still left feeling numb. Yes there are instances of brightness, like when his brother and niece called, but those are only temporary breaks in the grey overcast he's in.
Though of course right after that we have those lovely lines from Pam and the clouds start to break up.
On to the next chapter.
