Am i the only one who is thinking it is time Buffy gets a handle on herself and starts helping her daughter?
Yeah i know, she's been through a lot. But still... This isn't helping! Help now, ache later!
Sorry, just had to say that. Guess i dont handle too much guilttripping well.
Still liking the story, not understanding the too much angst comments that well. Yes it is bad for poor annie ,but ppl in wheelchairs can live wonderful lives too. And common, we all know Spike will get out of the pussy at some point! (Giggles, guess i am perpetually 12 too)

Author's Response: Hi aly! Sorry there was a bit too much guilt-tripping for you. It's a bit of a problem for Buffy and will continue for a while, just to warn you. You are certainly right that people in wheelchairs can have wonderful, amazing lives, but I think most people would feel pretty hurt/angry/depressed at the time something like that happened. It would be the death of so many dreams and a complete shift in their life - not something easily handled, especially if you are the mother and feel it was your fault. Spike will get out of the pussy - but it won't be for a while. Buffy's gonna have to handle this on her own for a bit. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! I love knowing what people like and what they don't. - it's great to get that feedback!

I really don't know why I keep reading this series. (Besides the fact you write well) because I don't understand why your muse is so cruel to this family. I don' t mind angst but the excessive amount of pain and heartache dumped on one family is beyond angst. I only hope that your muse does not kill their relationship or that Buffy does not get involved with Rack to fix Annie but I am sure that will happen. I may haveto stop reading if the story heads in that direction. I don't expect their life tobeperfect but this is the worst yet. I think that this bothers
Me so much because it affected one of their children.

Author's Response: Hi Bridget. I definitely understand how you're feeling, and I don't have a real answer for you other than my muse just seems to want to test them to the breaking point and beyond just so they can show us how strong their love and devotion is. There will be a break from the angst soon and Buffy will come up with a plan. Also, Willow and Bess and Angel will be putting their plan to get Spike back into action fairly soon, too. There are more bumps in the road to be sure, which will best Buffy and Spike's fortitude, but she's get a plan together very soon. There will be a break in the angst, which I think everyone will like, very soon. Thanks for stopping in! Hope you can hang in there a bit longer.
