Given the basis of this story - vampires mate for life and suffer if seperated - I would question if Bella was suffering a dissorder or if she was simply dammaged. A person must be judged to have a dissorder before the book is applied. (last I heard the book does not permit a determination of sanity.

My intro to psych lecturer said that for his doctorate he had to go through the process of the book. The book determined that he was crazy - religious experiances - but secular instructed sniggered because instructed had already assesed Dave as sane.

I am enjoying this story. Hope it got finished. Read a few of these. If you know someone who is thinking about writing one suggest a GOOD looney bin and competent doctors. Ad in hypnosis, the volturi... Could be really interesting. Aro; "bring the child to me. Give me her hand..."

I suck at answering emails. You have been warned.

arg:'(((( I've been crying almost all chapters, it's so depress but I like it! 3

Wow... This is just amazing. It is so beautiful. I absolutely love this story. Most writers shy away from focusing on Bella's deep relationship with each Cullen, but you did it brilliantly. I also love Edward and Bella's interactions and relationship. So many parts of the story brought tears to my eyes, which doesn't happen to me very often. I also really liked how even though so many sad things happened, the focus was on how she got better. Thank you for sharing this incredible story.

Really well plotted story.
I enjoyed Bella's strength and frailty, and how she wasn't cured in a session and got over it all.

A truly great story. I cried a lot over Bella's suffering... And the chapters dealing with Charlie's death and Bella's fading were incredibly poignant. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I've been looking for this story for months! I'm so glad to have it back!
I love the atmosphere of this story. I love the hurt, the drama, and the Jasper-Bella relationship in this.

I can't remember where I saw the rec'd. I think ADF? I am so happy I found it - what an amazing story! This is truly a hidden gem. Your writing is so, so good. Your character development is extraordinary. IMO, you did a much better job than Stephenie did with the intricacies of the relationships between not only Bella & Edward, but Bella & the Cullen's. You've definitely got a talent & I thank you for sharing that talent with the rest of us.

P.S. Since its been some time, I was wondering if that Edward POV you mentioned in the A/N ever came to fruition?

Loved this story!

Hello. Wow! I've been reading this amazing story for 2 days now. It just blew me away. What a ride! I liked the "in-depth" way you described Bella's feelings and experiences. The haze she went through, counting the derivatives-that was genius! I'm glad she was changed at the end. It's what she wanted-to be happy. And giving "Jimmy" forgiveness, it's good that she did. She was the better person for it. Not many could do that. I totally enjoyed this, so I thank you for the great read. Kudos for your mad skills as an amazing author! Thanks again, Suzan Noerr

Dang! You are a fabulous author! I mean you really got into the story and let Edward have it! Amazing!

Wonderful work, really. Very well-written and full of emotions :p I loved it

I hate to think of the hospital staff getting away with their abuse.

Hopefully things are looking up for poor Bella.

Fascinating, if disturbing, start.

This story was simply amazing. Well done!
