There were a lot of sensitive topics in this fic, and I did want to portray the fact that there's no "right" way to respond to any of the myriad issues here. I'm glad that came through!

Also, thank you for giving the story a shot, simply on the strength of my previous writing. It's a huge compliment and I was bouncing the whole day after reading this review. =D I thought I should play it safe with the warnings (nothing's explicit, after all), and I was a little nervy I'd lose readers because of them. I'm happy you stuck around!
