I liked how Gus told us how everything has turned out so far. I wonder if Mel has totally lost any chance of being a lawyer.
I don't know why, but I picture Lindsay's husband with a big beer belly, wearing a 70s shirt, with a bolo tie. At least it makes me chuckle.
I wonder if Michael still has the comic shop? In my mind, I'm saying no. He probably sits at home all day watching movies.
Poor Brian. He doesn't stand a chance against the kids, especially Mia. Lord help the first boy that comes calling!
I'm glad the kids are all happy. I really loved this story. You have a knack for writing.
Hugs, Cathy

Good luck, Lindsay. Yo screwed yourself over. I wonder how Mel's doing.
Michael is really a piece of work. (I know I say that a lot!) The fact that he turned Jenny away from Ben for his own selfishness is about the last straw. A child can never have too many people loving them.
Brad sounds like a wonderful person. I'm so very happy for Ben. He deserves it.

You burn enough bridges, and you'll be left in the cold.
What a weasel! I'm looking forward to the landlord tossing him out, because I want to see where he'll go to live then. I can just about imagine the hissy fit when he finds out Ben is going to get Jenny.
I was so proud of Gus and what he said to Lindsay. Big Q is just the perfect place to unload with some laughter. Brian better not put the animals in Armani, or they might like it so much, they'll use his clothes as backup.
Mel might have only charged $40, but she was with Lindsay when she charged the 5k, and JR was her daughter, so I'm not sure if that will account for anything oir not.
I'm very proud of Debbie, and I smiled at Carl's greeting to her.

I hope Ted's whine didn't have the same ring to it as Michael's does. I can't hear Ted sounding quite like that. ;)
I do think Debbie is serious. However, I won't hold my breath until we see how she is with the three adults when this comes to fruition.
She was cute when it came to Mia. And I do believe she would never hurt a child.

Well, Debbie saw with her own eyes what part of the problem is. Hopefully, she will be the one going to Canada and demand for JR to go home with her.
Oh, the credit card. I sure hope Brian pushes for theft. Something has to wake these women up! If they wanted to use the card, it should have been to get JR out of jail.
14 years old. My heart bleeds for children like that.

Michael's an idiot. If JR was just (in the car) she wouldn't be accused of actually selling. But when she actually hands the person the drugs and gets the money in return, she's DEALING! I love that she said 'she does it all the time.'
This has turned into a giant mess. I know parents can be blind, but hey, come on.
Is Brian really going to get a sphynx? God, those things are ugly!

How did Michael know everyone was at Kennywood? I just chuckle that he really thinks when it comes down to it, Brian won't kick them out. Delusional, Michael? The WORSE thing in Brian's book is child abuse. Something other than that, he might forgive but not that. All four of them have to know that.
Why is Lindsay at David's hotel room? She really isn't going to... Nope, I won't say it...

I'm so happy that Emmett and Drew took all three teenagers. They are at an age, where it's almost impossible to find foster families.
How excited Chad must be to have a first-time fusherman catch granddaddy. Hmm, I wonder if they will mount it?
It sounds liek a 'dog from Boston' will soon have a new home. It will be cute to see who cleans up the puppies' messes.

The Blame Game. It's like that with those people. Never is a Novotny to blame. Debbie makes me sick. Always Brian's fault. Never Michael's. Now it's all Gus', and not JR's. Quite the pattern she's got going.
So, Lindsay realized a little too late: Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
How will they be ready to move in two days? How will they get their belongings out?

Sounds like Brian: My disciples. ;)
So little Mia roped Emmett in, too. Kennywood sounds like all the kids will have a blast.
I'm still wondering if JR is sitting in jail.

JR sounds very evil. But I guess since she's a combo of Mel and Michael... what can we expect?
I wonder if the women ever got $800 and got JR out? She's pretty young to have a record.
I feel so terrible for Gus, knowing what he must have endured with that household.
Apparently, they didn't get the women kicked out of the house.

Sounds like Hell in Toronto, Good!

Ted was right: Oh fu*k me!
Are you passing out earplugs? Brian is going to go ballistic!

I really hope Deb follows through and proves trustworthy. I do love her, and hope she can be redeemed in this story.

This was a great story from start to finish!! Mel, Lindsay and Michael all deserve each other. Thank goodness JR finally found a good home with Brad and Ben. I think that was the only thing that could have helped her.

Just love it..Great Lindsey and Michael bashing

I just loved this story- I must have read it half a dozen times already- I think the way you describe the characters thoughts works really well and I can absolutely believe they would act in those ways given the circumstances- you really nailed Michael and Lindsay perfectly! A really enjoyable story all around- thank you so much for writing and sharing this :)

Beautiful story.

I loved this story so much! It was so pleasing to see Lindsay go to jail for stealing the money! She basically lives her life on others peoples money and feels like she’s entitled to it- I hate that so much, so thanks for not letting her get away with it. Thanks for writing this wonderful fic.
p.s. I thought it was kinda funny that you said you wanted to write a more light hearted story and mentioned the idea of brain running after Michael and neglecting Justin- ironic since I’ve just been reading that fic (and loving it) but it is the most heartbreaking and painful to read story I’ve read of yours ;)
Thank you for continuing to write and share your awesome stories!

It's good to see that all the important people found their peace.

So it seems Lindsay is finally getting what she deserves. I'm glad JR agreed to go with Ben.

Michael is so stupid. God for Gus that he was able to stand up to his mom.

I'm hope Debbie is genuine. Hopefully they can get JR away from Mel and Lindsay. Their relationship is toxic for JRs recovery.
