Interesting and eye opening chapter.

Have to admit, was a bit creeped out at the concept of Ben and what appears to be his manipulations in all this.

Proud of Jenny! good on her standing up for B&J. Gus has also seen beyond the bullshit that his mothers have spouted. Good for him. while there's a way to go for that family, they seem to be well on their way in the healing process

At least B&J have both acknowledged the fact that they don't want a divorce, that they both want to work on their marriage and family dynamics. Justin is justifiably hesitant in totally trusting how Brian will be with Deb and Michael, but I'm confident that Brian will prove himself worthy. Justin as well will prove to Brian that he can communicate and still feel safe.

Can't wait to see what happens with Michael next. Deb too. Justin saying he's no longer going to stay quiet gave me a huge shit eating grin! Ooooooooooooh looking forward to that showdown! lol.

As for Mel....The girl needs couselling! Her over the top reaction towards Brian is beyond stupid. No matter what, she'll find something to blame him for. Even after Ted talking to her with some real truths, and of course Deb adding her 2 cents worth....It's like even if she were to condede to some of his positive actions, the negative gets fed by Deb and Michael. She's going to lose on every scale if she's not careful and doesn't pull her head out of her ass.

Terrific couple of chapters.

Linsey's facination with Justin is highly questionable. She's also WAAAAAAAAAY out of her league when it comes to Jen. Jennifer ws able to get much needed info without any effort or with Lindsey realizing what all she was telling her. L really isn't that smart of a WASP is she? I don't think she's very smart overall actually.

Is Brian going to e upset with all that Justin has been up to? Will he understand? Really glad that Jenn is on his side again. That she's looking out for BOTH B&J. I think she's finally understanding all that Brian was going through with Michae and Deb.

Another great chapter! Lindsey is going to go DOWN! LOL!

Oh man!! PLEASE update this one soon! I'm going to chew off what little nails I have. ;) Everything is pointing to M&L actually being aligned in their schemes against Justin. Assuming that Brian would drop justin if he were "no longe rpretty" Pfffft. Definitely not true. I'm really hoping it never gets to that point though. Maybe just to the bare brink so they can get their asses thrown in jail! ooooooooooooooooooooooh what will Deb do then?? 

Mel had some great lines. she really seems to be seeing life as it really is now, rather than the way she has been for the past umpteen years. While Lindsey may have helped in the battle between Mel adn Brian, Mel definitely chose to see Brian as Lindsey wanted her to rather than making an informed decision on her own. she allowed others to influence her impression. for someone who deems herself a strong woman, she certain was led by the nose.

My heart is so hurting for Gus. What aposition to be in. I know it's his choosing, but it's gotta hurt him to hear the words from his mother's mouth. To end up being so incredibly disillusioned by your mother. So betrayed. Thank goodness he has such a terrific support system around him. He is greatly loved.

Cheers,

Elaine

Loved a full on Debbie chapter! this was great! I like how she admits to her faults with how she raised Michael, the hope she has of him growing up but still having the knowledge that it just may not happen. She's facing the reality of things.

Everything she said to Ethan was perfect and even better that she said it infrom of Michael. Once again Michael and Lindsey are thwarted. I just find it so amusing when they put so much effort into these schemes of theirs and they all fall apart. If they put half that effort into their own lives, careers, families etc, they might find a bit of happiness. Not that I'm suggesting that mind you. They way you write these two is always so entertaining. lol

Thank for  the break I needed at work. 

So grateful that you are updating these ones. It's been such a joy to get back into them again.

Mel was certainly impressive. While I know she will stick to her guns, I hope her threat to Lindsey is heard. That Lindsey actually follows through. I get the impression that Lindsey is so angry because Jenny's behaviour directly efeected Lindsey. If it was towards others, the punishment wouldn't be as swift.

Jennifer of course was her usual brilliant self. Linsey has realized that nothing is forgotten, nor  forgiven. 

I think more repercussions are in store for the miscreants.

Wow...Michael is more hateful then ever! I was also totally prepared to dislike Deb here, but I now understand what's happening. Wonder what it is that Michael said. something completely unforgivable. 

Love that Brian is a dad here. Kemi is a spitfire isn't she?! I think I can already see Justin in her. lol Looking forward to when we are introduced the Justin's little one. (or not so little)

Great start!

Cheers

The twins...omg...the reactions were priceless! I'm so looking forward to seeing those 2 ganging up on Michael! LMAO! THey are going to drive him bonkers I can just see it. Can't wait!! LOL!

Still can't get over just how aweful Jenny is at such a young age. It's going to take alot for anything to get through to her and for her to learn anything. Perhaps livingwith Michael would be a lesson. LOL! Michael was so close to saying something about him being her "father". While it may not be true, she sure is a lot like him in many ways!!

I'm giving Lindsey the benefit of the doubt for now. I sure hope all the changes are permanant. The rose coloured glasses certainly seem to have come off with regards to Jenny and her part in her behaviour and attitude.

Michael screwed up that's for sure! Had to know it was coming. Getting the crap beat out of himself and it was all a useless attempt. Justin had the perfect alibi. LOL. What a moron.

Such a great story! Like all of yours, I wait (almost) patiently for every update.

Cheers,

My heart was breaking over the hurt done by Jenny. (Michael being the initial cultrit) I can't believe she said somethign like that! It's like she has no comprehension of right adn wrong. will she come to learn it in time? I hope she does for her sake. I simply can't envision Mel or anyone else allowing that kind of behaviour to continue. While she will get her punishments as she so deserves, is she really going to remain so selfish and in all honesty, such a dangerous bully? Will the tides turn against her in time for her to learn a lesson early enough in life to be able to change this aspect of her? Midn you....look at Michael. Nothing has changed his personality. Will Jenny follow in teh same kind of footsteps as him?

Michael is in for a WORLD of hurt! OMG...his suffering will be empic if Nya and Ted have anything to do about it, never mind what Brian and Justin will eventually do to him. A part of me thinks I should feel a bit bad about what's going to happen to him eventually, but he spoke out against a child....there is not suffering enough for him in my book. He derserves whatever comes to him. (times 10!!)

Lindsey is in for a rude awakening as well. Her little money hoard has been found out. Is it the only one or does she have an alternate one somewhere hidden? If she does, she bett hold onto it as she won't be getting anything else from Brian I'm sure. He'll be letting Mel handle all the finances fgoing forward I'm sure.

Terrific story. AS always, looking forward to what's going to happen. So may repercussions to occur. Will Jenny and Lindsey still be able to attend the cotillion adn if so, what will happen there? I can't see Lindsey not trying to push herself into specific circles and bringing Jenny along with her. They will lose a  lot of they don't change their ways soon. Mind you, I always enjoy reading of Lindsey and Michael's demise!! ;) A part of me hopes that Jenny starts to learn her lessons though without too much damage being done. She is only 12 and is oung enough to turn away from the road she's travelling on. I guess I'll have to wait and see what you have up your sleeves.

Who's calling???????

It's going to take something MAJOR for Jenny to learn what life is really like, rather than what Lindsey is teaching her, if she learns at all. Between Michael and Lindsey, she's getting all the emotional support she's pouting for. They are such an entitled trio.

I get the impression that Jenny and Linsdey are going to  cause issues at the cotillion. Bad news for them if they try. Jenn, Justin, and the gang always seem to be a step ahead of them. I am so going to enjoy reading that when you get there! LOL.

Jenny knows how to wrap Lindsey and Michael around her little finger. Those crocodile tears are fooling only them. 

Lord help them if they really try to hurt K&K any further.

Miquel....BWAHAHAHAHA!

cheers,

Elaine

I have to start off by commenting on just how bloody stupid Michael is. Gotta love it. Just wait till he finds out that he's been screwed over (a lot) and that Jenny really isn't his after all. what will he do then? Will he see her for the heinous bitch she really is?

Jenny Jenny Jenny. What can one say about her. I referred to her as a heinous bitch. Well it's appropriate. that fact that she just keep continuing on with the behaviour just show's what kind of dellusions she's living under. You'd think she'd at least try to behave, but no... At least it makes it fun for us to read about!! lol.

Lindsey really seems to have learned her lesson. I relly hope she sticks to it and that she doesn't fall back into bad behaviour. the fact that she takes responsibility fo rJenny's behaviour and attitude speaks volumes.

Another fantastic chapter!

Cheers
