Just read the entire story! loved it from start to finish!! awesome job! now i'm working on another one of you're stories!

OHH what a great story i really enjoyed reading this good job!

This is excellent! very hot and very well done...can't wait to read more!

One reviewer said they didn't think Buffy would tell Joyce all of this stuff like that, and in a way I agree that that is a logical thing to think. But I recall my brother a few years ago stayed out late (he was seventeen) and my mom waited up for him to come home which happened at almost three am. He was really drunk and he'd been driving and would have been yelled at except he was really drunk and my mom decided to save the yelling and punishment til next day when he'd understand it better. But my brother was really really loopy with the drink and decided that it would be a good idea to tell my mom everything he did, everything he thought, the whole thing, And when she'd try to get him to go to bed so they could sleep and discuss it fully in the morning he wouldn't do it, he said he needed to get it all out now, while he wanted to say it and just told her EVERYthing. It was funny really and he regretted it the next day. But he'd been loopy and just decided to do a full confessional while loopy. Which is a lot of words to say that the stuff in her system still and the stress of the situation could cause Buffy to suddenly decide to confess things that she wouldn't otherwise even though she might not be so brave under other circumstances. I was sorry Joyce reacted a little more negatively than I would have liked at some points, but I guess she was pretty shocked. If I had a kid who had just tried suicide (and sadly I have one who started at age eleven, long story) I wouldn't have reacted negatively in any way to absolutely anything they told me right afterward, when they were trying so hard to get it out in the open and were looking for understanding and support. So I thought Joyce was a little harsh in places. That's not a criticism, because that's what you wanted Joyce to do so that's just her character and you wrote her the way you wanted her. I was just sorry she did that. As for the hold, I am not aware of any twenty four hour hold in California law, just the 72 hour one. And although I'm dealing with med social work it's mostly with industrial patients and work comp is exempt from HiPPA privacy laws for the most part so that's why I'm not dealing with HIPPA as much as others might so I'll defer to the other posters who are working in general mental health in California for the latest actual practice issues. Like I said, I'm not gonna complain about what you do as long as you don't go on a complete flight of fancy and ignore reality entirely, which you have not at all. I really like your story and I'm following you where you wanna go. It will be interesting to see what happens next -- now that Joyce knows. And will she tell Giles - if I were Buffy I'd prefer to have Joyce tell Giles as at least I wouldn't have to look in the eyes of a man I love like a father and have to tell him all that extremely embarrassing info. Bad enough if he must know, but please let someone else tell it and spare me that is my thinking. Please update soon -- I'm can't wait to see where you go next. Thanks. Mac 1. :-)

Hey darling. This is amazing. It is remarkable to see how far you have come on since you first started writing.
You are an amazing writer darling, and deserve every second of praise that you get.
You have managed to capulate these characters so perfectly to their original form, yet while still retaining an air of orginallity thats all you.
You have wrote the beginning of what I am sure is going to be an amazing story and honestly I can't wait to read more.
You have done amazingly and you should feel so proud honey!
please post more soon.
