yeah, although i love sam and dean, the ending's just wrong. i mean, he was beating them while he was sober so it was obviously a choice he made. just turning around like that doesn't make any sense...

but yeah, i like it xD

Really great story, very emotional

I liked the tie-in with the pool hustling thing ^_^

wow, once again another great one. I have to be honest, the first two parts, specially the second was hard to read, After the first i thought about stopping, but went, no, I like this author, half way through the second I was re-thinking my decission, but I am stubbon, so I kept going and once I hit part three I felt justified, because you came through and the ending was not too painful at all (no pun intended). Once again, you have made john go from good to bad ect and it works perfectly.
thank you for the story.

That was pure genius! PERFECT. I absoulutely loved it! =] Awesome.

aw...that was so good!

Good story! Very dark, but good. I like the ending, and I'd really like to see where the story goes from here, what with John trying to change and all, but it was a really good ending.

Out of all your stories this was the best one. It was written wonderfully, you wrote the characters perfectly, and it was just great! Loved the ending. Wish it never ended!

aw! i loved it! i love a happy ending!
awesome job!

Aw...yay!! That was great! Amazing! I am so glad I read this one! I couldnt decide and this one just jumped out saying "read me" and I am glad I listened to the voices in my head...for once. Lol. GREAT job!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!:D ^_^ GREAT!!

this story makes me go aw and i think i started crying at a point . im so happy it turned out right in the end

I love this, because it's very accurate. It's amazing the things that abusive parents can get away with, and what schools and doctors will overlook. I like the part where he has Sammy tell him that they'll be separated and never see each other again. My step-dad made me and my sister believe the same thing, and it's very accurate to how many parents work to scare their kids. Really well done.

That was very well written. I reckon that the ideas that Reviewer Bernie had were pretty good, and that further stories along those lines from you would be excellent reading. Keep up the good work.

good story...i loved it

i love that story. and you can totally bring it back to supernatural's plot with Sammy being so young when the abuse (theoretically) ended that he repressed those memories - but not Dean. coz i certainly dont remember much in my life before i was 6 and if his memories were traumatic he would try to forget. but subconsciously that could be why he doesn't get along with John - yet dean counld follow orders due to residual fear.

wow that was a rant and a half - This fic and your A/N just got me thinking about how this story could be less AU and could be reconsiled with the series...

any who good work - i love a story that makes my mind sit up and beg...
