Date: 03 Mar 2018 6:58 PM Title: Epilogue
Sophisticated, beautiful and touching story. Down-to-earth situations that many, many people experience in their lives. Perfectly written to create similar feelings in your readers.
Bella and Edward both experienced overwhelming love, self-doubt, and overwhelming heartbreaks that created near unconquerable fissures. All of their happy and heartrending feelings jumped off the page into my heart. I kept tissues by my bedside and used them often. I also piced up a magazine and fanned a few times. If I smoked, I'd probably have smoked an entire pack reading the last chapters.
I've enjoyed reading "Angry All The Time." I hope to read more of your stories in the near future.
Thank you for writing and gifting your stories to our fandom. I appreciate you very much.

Thinhs are coming along. But honestly, you guys justbhad a baby and esme keeps her? Like esme is more important to please? I never get it in fics, this hogging of the baby like the parents don't matter. Anyway, wonder how she'll get this Jake thing sorted and out of her life for good. Charlie is such a fitting name, is it Charlie Renee Cullen?
Author's Response: Esme is staying in the house with them, to let them get some sleep. Alice set up the guest room for her, she didn't take her away to Forks or anything. They will talk in the next chapter about Jake and all the rest. I did make it Charlie Renee.

Okay! I've been eyeing this story debating should I start now or wait til it's complete. I had to do it but now I'm a little scared since Edward just walked out on Bella and I can feel her pain. B/E stories with a HEA are my forte. Sooooooo! Here goes caution to the wind. For now I'll trust that this sadness is short lived. READ YOU SOON
Author's Response: It is very close to being completed posted. It will be done by the end of the month. It takes several chapters to catch up to the prologue.

Not sure why Bella'swaiting so long.
Author's Response: She doesn't want to have Edward come running back until she has been in therapy long enough to be whole again. She doesn't want to patch their problems without actually fixing them. She's feeling stronger and mostly healed, so it'll be soon.

I don't understand the whole wedding thing
I think it's inappropriate to have these types of reunions , and conversations at someone's special event.
they should meet just before on neutral ground

First time reviewing. But I also read reviews, you replied to someone with this;
Author's Response: You're right about that. He'll suffer some more (because I felt he had to), and he'll understand more where she's coming from.
cqn I ask why you feel he needa to suffer? Moat authors put so much on the male character's like they aren't human and can read minds to solve problems and possess no have feelings.
I don't get why a guy who lost 'his' child too and feel he failed his wife needs to 'suffer' to understand the same pain his wife is feeling.
And unless Edward is seen with another woman also, I don't get how it's fair Bella having jake around. I'm sure Edward would then think she cheated, any hurt person would. Right?
Anyway, awaiting the next chapter. Eagerly.
Author's Response: The response about me feeling the need for him to suffer comes from the place of, he really shouldn't have left her. In reality, he should have stayed by her side, if he's as devoted to his vows as it seems his character would be. On the other side of that coin, it was really freaking tough for him, too. He didn't know what to do, he was at a loss. He thought she would be happier without him, but that doesn't make him right.
I don't want to give anything away with Jake, except I will say their relationship is very canon.
Date: 20 Jul 2016 5:29 PM Title: Chapter 29
I have never liked Jacob in any story. He is always there to cause problems. Bella and Edward have enough problems without Jacob causing more. Please don't let her start seeing him. Edward already thinks he isn't good enough for her.
Author's Response: You're right about Jake, he is there to serve a purpose. Remember it's an hea.

Edward is going to feel bad when he finds out she is pregnant. I think she needs a firend if that is what it takes for her to get better.
Author's Response: That's a very diplomatic way to look at it. I know Jacob haters are going to be less diplomatic.
Date: 18 Jul 2016 4:41 AM Title: Chapter 28
Now that Edward has let his emotions out maybe he will be able to understand more how Bella felt and then add on losing her parents and anyone would shut down.
Author's Response: You're right about that. He'll suffer some more (because I felt he had to), and he'll understand more where she's coming from.
Date: 17 Jul 2016 8:05 PM Title: Chapter 28
I hope they find their way back together
Author's Response: Soon!

Great, I love this story because you have given the 'grief' a real time line and a real struggle. Other authors 'skim' over these types of topics. Keep up the good work.

Author's Response: Outtake RPOV I went quietly into the master bedroom, which was in a shambles. Edward told me how Bella had thrown a fit and tossed the room, and he wasn't kidding. A hand mirror was smashed, broken pieces of glass scattered on the dresser and spilling onto the carpet. There were clothes strewn everywhere, the bed linens had been torn off and balled up in a corner. The curtains were hanging askew, and a few pictures were at drunken angles on the wall. Bella was sitting in an armchair, her knees drawn up to her chest, rocking. She was disheveled, tears staining her face as she rolled her desolate eyes to mine. “Bella, you have to listen to me,” I urged. “I was wrong. You know how much I’ve grown to love you, and I’d have to be blind not to see how good you and Edward are together. Don’t give up on yourself. I know shit is hard right now, but you can work through it. Let Edward help you.” “I can’t, Rose,” she sobbed. “I’ll ruin him, like you said in the beginning. You saw it more clearly than even I did. I’m toxic for him. I’m dragging him down, I’m useless!” The idea that she believed that had shame stabbing me in the gut. “No, sweetie. You’re hurting, and that’s okay. But so is Edward. Just hang in there, please?” I wasn’t above begging. “You’re perfect for him, no matter what I said when I met you. You don't have to try to be anybody you’re not. You’re perfect the way you are.” I wanted to help, but it seemed that Edward was right; she was beyond casual help. “You know I don't bullshit, Bella. Just think about it, okay?” I pulled her stiff body into my arms, holding on as tears came to my own eyes. She softened enough to hug me back briefly, then stepped away and sat back in her chair by the window. I sighed heavily, knowing I had failed to fix anything.

Date: 10 Jul 2016 10:32 PM Title: Chapter 26
I really hate that Bella has pushed Edward into thinking everything is his fault. She needs to see a doctor herself and get help. I know she is grieving for her parents and probably has postpartum depression. She is also grieving for the baby she lost. She needs to get some help.
Author's Response: You're right about all of the above.

This is when things go down, as a woman who tried to get pregnant for a long time and to finally get pregnant at 31 only to miscarriage a couple weeks after finding out, I was devastated.. but we go on I was able to get pregnant again and have a beautiful girl a year later. So I feel for Bella, but that is no reason to shut people out of your life...Did I mention I had also left my state and family behind because of my stalker..It was not easy but with Jesus's help I made it thru.
Author's Response: It's intuitive of you to realize this is actually going down. She's masking her feelings. I'm sorry you had to go through a stalker and a miscarriage, but I'm glad you had your faith to see you through.
