Yeah, I think Rebecca lost control the moment she married Frank, even if she didn't know it for a couple more years, and she's overcompensating by trying to take care of Michael and failing. In a lot of ways she's as much a victim as her kids.

Thank you.

That's... somewhat disterbing. I have to wonder if her family started pulling back because they couldn't cope with her not coping. Vicious circle kind of thing. Nicely explored :)

(LJ is having a weird phase again... hopefully they will be all unweird soon)

Partly, and partly they Disapprove of her husband, and there's a complicated history there.

Thank you!

So sad. I can't say I wouldn't have used this prompt in a similar way. Very emotionally delicate and nicely done.

It's nice to twist the prompts until they scream, innit?

Thank you!

Oh, Rebecca. I do feel a little bad for her here.

Great job.

Yeah. In a lot of ways she's a victim herself.

Thank you.
