Not sure if anyone is really gonna read this, but all the Abused! Neglected Reader stories out there, I'd like to address something that a large majority have in common. They make it so the Reader seems to instantly discover that it's not their fault and that they have done nothing wrong at all. That logic with the mental portion of the abuse isn't completely wrong in any sense of the word, but it also completely ignores the fact of how said abuse can affect a child, and constantly being told that it's your fault will also affect someone's psyche. With that out there, I'd like to further elaborate that the abuse can manipulate someone into thinking that it really is their fault. As some stories do quite well, the Reader or MC shouldn't just instantly think, "Oh, they're completely wrong, I didn't do anything wrong." Instead, have them go through a realization period or such for some stories, as certain and unique stories have done with this genre of story, as it will further develop a story, at least it makes it better to empathize with the character, as it will make the character go through a mindset that is painful and make them constantly berate themselves, but once they truly realize they aren't at fault, it will help Character development into a new whole, and any writer can take it in any path. That's my cup of tea at least, what do you think?

Hey there buddy. A little birdy told me that you were part of the Torbin crow hate train. Is that true?

@Bobbertts Ooooh, okay. Understandable! As I've seen many authors leave the platform as well, I can understand where your coming from. Not from friend, but I can understand.

@Bobbertts He's my friend. And I don't want to see him go like so many other writers before.
