Oh Justin! This was one of the absolutely saddest chapters so far. I really hope he doesn't have any internal injuries, but since you didn't mention that again, hopefully he'll be okay about that. This reminds me so much of one of my other favorite Conzieu fanfictions in which Justin also experiences mental rape at the hands of Brian. Brian still doesn't know what damage he's done. And the saddest thing is, of course, he wanted to hurt Justin, but I don't think he realized what he was doing with such careless, disrespectful and cruel treatment. Here in your story Brian's reaction is even more baseless, but even on the show I find it so disrespectful, so cruel. Because even if Justin cheated on Brian, it doesn't give him the right to treat another human being like that after he's treated Justin himself so many times disrespectfully and cruelly and carelessly. Now he will also reach the bottom.

What a hard chapter to read; though I guess it's something that could happen when someone has such a history.

Damnit, now I am back to wanting to cuddle Justin and tell him that he WILL get through this and that he IS okay. So much of what Brian has said to him over the years has damaged him so badly, it's definitely made me think how careful you have to be when you say things.
I really hope they get back to a session again soon. They seemed to do so well last time, but then this happened.
Well done on your reader award, babes. SO DESERVED!

Thanks, babes!!
There will be other sessions, but we need to get through this first. He has a lot of self-doubt and hatred towards himself now - that is now more damaging than anything Brian ever said to him.

Don't know how to stop the tears all this pain Justin is feeling is consuming him to the point that he can't breathe and every time he tries to find some good clean air it gets tainted by pains of the past.
Craig will Never Apologize but maybe Justin getting his anger out will help?
Brian and Jennifer have so much to apologise for cause they took Justin's trust and threw it back in his face every chance they got.
No one wanted to see that Justin needed help they just wanted things to go back to the way it was before Chris Hobbs swung that bat.
Michael's apology even an attempt won't be able to heal the pain he enjoyed inflicting because Brian didn't choose him, but maybe Justin confronting him and getting the pain out could help Justin.
The weight of all this pain Justin is carrying needs to be unburden and until he talks, yells, screams and cries it all out he will never move past it.
Brian also has to unburden himself the same way or else he will never feel clean and free to say the words Justin needs to hear and believe, plus he will never break the cycle Jack and Joan cursed him with.
Thanks for the Update :)

I'm going to start off by saying, I love your story. Me and my Mother have some of the most heated debates after each chapter. I'm more sympathetic towards Brian and my Mother is a total Justin girl. While I believe this story leans towards being a bashing Brian story. I understand he is to blame for a lot of Justin's problems, but when is everyone else Justin included going to start taking some of the blame. I feel the way this chapter ended that Alex was maybe headed to confront someone, probably Brian. If that's the case then Alex needs to stop being Brian's therapist, because I feel that would unethical. He probably doesn't need to be both of their therapist anyway. I also think Brian is in a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation. If he stays around he is going to be emotionally trashed for everything wrong in Justin's world. But if he goes and leaves Justin alone, it will just prove everything Justin said is true, Brian never cared about him. Once again don't think I dislike your story, because I don't, I love it. It makes me think and I love stories that do that. I looking forward to your next chapter.

Believe me, this isn't headed towards a Brian bashing. What happened between Brian and Justin was ugly, but the "blame" lays elsewhere. Justin isn't without fault in this, and at this point, he is still blind to what is happening around him. His eyes will be opened sooner than you think. ;) And I'm glad this fic makes you think - that's all I have ever wanted when I write a story, is that it makes people feel and think, so if you are doing that when you read, then I am doing what I set out to do. And the fact that you and your Mum are debating this makes me grin. So thanks, hon, I appreciate your honesty. xx

Holy shit....one step forward, three steps back. Those damn voices in our heads sometimes, so completely tragic....Justin is so self-destructive. Alex was so thoughtful and compassionate, more than just a therapist. He's a wonderful therapist but he was really being Justin's friend too.
I can understand Alex approaching Jennifer & Brian in regards to apologizing to Justin but Craig never will, which is another tragedy in itself. I can also understand his anger. Christ, I'm angry and these are fictional characters! You are one of the BEST writers out there Kerri! Love your work....

Michael needs to be punished for what he's caused.

Yes, he does.
