Although this is a good move for Deb, I'm a little surprised. WHY is Stephen so willing to help her? Why is Debbie NOT being held responsible for anything from a legal standpoint? She HAD to know Michael was stealing money in order to afford a house like that! You just don't have massive amounts of money to buy property in Palm Springs by owning a comic book shop. So, I really question how she can move out of the area, and not be held accountable.

And the fact her house has not been sold, if she has to pay money out of that, I still don't see how she feels she will have much money after the fact. I guess it boils down to if she owed any money on it, and how much it sells for. The wallpaper will definitely have to be changed-out beforehand!

Thanks for the update,

Author's Response:

Hey Cathy,

I'm sitting here looking over the reviews before I begin writing the update. I've found that reading such in-depth reviews from the viewpoints from the audience, is oft times the best to make sure of the story's continuity. You all are such an AMAZING group of people to write for, and I value the feedback so very much. 

That said, I can't answer everything, BUTTTT one important thing to remember about Stephen is that he can see this entire situation from Deb's POV for a very specific reason. Not so long ago, he was set-up by his brother to take the fall for murders he didn't commit. Even though it's a different degree of betrayal, Stephen understands Deb trying to still see the good in the child she raised, since he tried to see the same in his own brother. It's why he understands why it's so hard for her to finally let go, and the reason he's so determined to help her pick up the pieces of the skewed perception concerning the one person she believed she really knew with all her heart. 

As for Debbie: From a legal standpoint, her returning the house to its 'rightful' owner absolved her of being held legally responsible. Of course, Brian can still file a civil suit, but is he really apt to do that? For the full story on that you have to reread chapters 17-20, beginning with "May I Have Your Attention Please" which sets the scene for the reveals occuring in the following two.

HAPPY READING and HUGS!

It was hard to get Deb to realize what she did was wrong.  Whether she learns will be up to her.

Yes Deb leaving town is a blessing for everyone they don't need to keep looking over their shoulders waiting for her to strike out again, she has done that too many times and they all need to decompress from her need to control everyone around her and Michael.

Maybe Savannah, Georgia will be a good place for her to start over and Blanche is who Deb needs to make Her see that her way of loving comes with too many emotional scars.

As a mother who has gone through a similar experience with her own child Blanche will be able to get Deb to truly face the reality that Michael is never coming home and that blaming Brian is just an excuse that no one besides her was buying.

Stephen was completely right about Deb and her treatment of Brian, Justin, Ted and Emmett she spent so many years bullying everyone to take care of Michael it never once occurred to her that they would fight back only this time they wouldn't back down but take Deb head on and to Hell with the consequences.

She got tired of catering to Michael so made everyone else do it so she could get a break and now they all see Michael and Deb for what they really are and they ended the cycle before it could consumer them.

Brian, Justin, Ted and Emmett will forgive Deb because to not to gives her a foot hole they must forgive her to move beyond her.

Just like Nancy must forgive herself for not being a good mother to both her daughters she must forgive Lindsay and make amends with Lynette to heal her own heart.

Now whether Deb can forgive herself that is up to her but she has to realize that forcing her will and herself into everyone's life will not work anymore.

Her Family is shattered beyond repair and it is time she learned to love herself and admit that she was abusing Brian, Ted, Emmett and Justin.

Thanks For the Update 😃

Fantastic chapter.  Love when Justin is the powerful one and how Brian admires him.  Wonderful writing, as always.

My first order of business here is... sorry about the bomb threat last review.. Yeah... Must have been having an overly emotional night. Didn't help that we went to adopt a dog that had been abused and starved by it's owner that day...

Anyway... THIS WAS AWE----SOME!!!! AWESOME! And funny!!!  Anytime you have idiots issuing threats that are so ridiculous, it's nothing but funny

I just wish Justin would have asked Troy just WHY he kept screaming for BRIIIAAANNN!!!! Did he honestly think he was held in high esteem in Brian's book? If I recall, when Troy visited Brian in his office and offered to take Justin's place, Brian was not very nice when he declined. Also, in their packets for their attorneys, there should have been something about how they THREATENED other employees with the loss of their jobs if they didn't follow their directives, when they had no such power to do so.

Ah yes, they will definitely need Prep H where they are headed, but will they be allowed to bring it in?? And what is this regarding Gardner? Has new evidence come to light we are not aware of yet?

I do hope the meeting was taped/videoed, so that Troy's scream of killing Justin is documented. And if it's not, they have MANY witnesses to the account... also a they have MANY witnesses... who saw NOTHING!!! Does Daphne REALLY need representation???

I hope when they both come to, either the police or FBI are there to collect their asses, because they have fair warning now. What will it take for both of them to turn tail and run?

HUH! I just figured out the *stars rating* bar.

Okay... something grabbed me and made me very sick to my stomach.  Michael was actually having Hunter in bed, too? the insults I’ve endured constantly while being fucked by that little rat-bastard and his fuckbuddy, Lance…  You didn't use the terminology *fu*ked over*... so that was the only way to read that. That literally brought tears to my eyes. Michael deserves Hell's Fury just for that!!! Debbie should be told in no uncertain terms what her "little darling" did to a "CHILD"who trusted in his care! Ooohhh... I'm shaking!

If that wasn't bad enough, reading the description of the boards did me in. I hope I am over-sentimental today, or else I am just too deeply into this story. And I am trusting you to have *stipulations* in their contracts. And here is where I place a threat on your life. If I knew where you worked, I would call a bomb threat in so you would be forced to go home and write the next chapter, so we can get the satisfaction of seeing Troy Perkins getting his ass canned. Yes, Eric is guilty, too... but as it was pointed out, the idea had to have come from Troy. I wonder how the other artists were even able to draw that crap. I do hope the other three artists that helped with those boards are also sitting in on that meeting, so they learn to go over heads the next time, and explain to Murph or Justin that they just can't work on crap like that.

The explanation coming to Brian in bed that night, I presume is about Michael and the vials. Was Troy in on that too? or Eric? If Eric was handling the money...

Indeed, "Low Blow" . Will be Fun to see Tory & Eric getting thrown out on their whiny ass***, not before getting a very hard lesson from Justin Taylor-Kinney. Both idiots should never have mess with Sunshine. Yupp, this Angel got horns around his halo too. No mercy, as whatever coming they deserves it.

Wonderful update! Curious to read next chapter. ❤ :)

You Are Killing Me Here!!!

Might Have To Lock You In A Room With Deb! 😂

This chapter just goes to show that the low opinions of Lindsay and Michael, Deb really have no basis in the relationship Brian and Justin have, cause they never knew it and understood Brian beyond the surface they loved the artificial mask Brian wore to protect himself from hurt and never delved deeper cause they would see they have no place in Brian's life much less in his world. 

Hunter (Squirt, Love That New Nickname!) is seeing first hand why Brian and Justin are Dynamic together not just as a couple but businessmen who want to see everyone succeed right along with them.

With their love and everyone else's support Hunter will soar past the stars to a whole new galaxy which Michael could never achieve and Lindsay didn't know how.

Even Deb could never achieve this level of success because it would mean she wasn't in control anymore.

Brian and Justin want their friends and family to hop on board the train but not let it be the only thing to help you succeed, they want everyone to soar past their own limits so when the time comes and the person is willing they can succeed too.

Troy is an Inferior Mongerol and Eric is an Infantile Pup who is about to learn that Pissing off Justin Taylor-Kinney is the Wrong Thing To Do, especially when he has your fate in his hands.

Drawing those vile boards is one way to have your nuts squeezed and it won't be fun or pleasant because Justin is about to grind them into powder and there will be an audience to watch your humiliation, better hope there aren't cameras in there because when Justin stings you it might play on a loop for everyone not invited to see as you are escorted out the door in your Walk Of Shame.

Hunter is about to get a crash course in this and it will be quite a teaching experience about how to destroy someone Wasp Style it will prepare him for others who might try to intimidate him and for the trials.

Fantastic Update!😀

This just keeps getting better and better.  Shame Deb has gone back to her old ways.  It looked for a while as if she'd managed to see the light.  From all the hints, it appears that your next chapter is going to be beyond good.
