Will Deb still want to leave after she finds out about Michael?

Deb has had many revelations about her and Michael's behavior but still she keeps going back to get old ways and routine to get everyone to bend to get will.

A change of scenery might help but as the trials get closer will she slip again and will Stephen be there to catch her once more?

I mean Joan is asking for one second chance but Deb has wasted all of hers and she is running out of help.

Bitter and not so sweet truth for Debbie. For coddling Michel al her life. Her nasty infant who is at Too much at blame. That's It. Brian should never be burden to take care of them.

Curious to read how Michel reacts upon changed POa's.

Wonderful writing. Hugs❤

Powerful! In the guts (Deb's guts)! I hope she finally sees and understands what everybody is telling her: get rid of the dead weight and stop bullying.

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,

HUGS  ~Cathy



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.

Great chapter.  Terrific idea getting Debbie away from everyone.  And, ah, Savannah, what a great choice.  Love that city.  Wonderful writing.

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 😃
