Charlie carries a lot of guilt and shame. He's never known just how much he neglected his daughter. Now they all know about the treatment she suffered whilwe she was gone. Like Rose said, she's a survivor. She's damaged, but has managed to make a life of her own. No one will ever own her or tell her what to do again. Teddy thinks Phoenix is the painter. He'll be surprised when he finds out who the painter really is. I hope he gets the help he needs. His so-caled friends inflicted a lot of emotional and mental damage on him.

IDK, but isn't Izzy allowing Teddy too close to her? She had a lot of anger and disgust built-up toward him. Why would she allow him to hold and comfort her now? It's strange seeing her just deciding to sit everyone down and tell her story to them like this after she'd been trying to avoid some of them.

Izzy has got to a stage she is sick of being told what to do. Her confidence is Phil next door. Charlie acts like he's the only one who can say what she does. He's treating her like a child she isn't. She has time to think and she knows she can't be mad at another child. But the grown ups have lot to answer for. The main people is her dad Carlisle and Esme. I think she let Teddy hold her because she's just emotionally and physically exhausted.
Teddy Knows he was wrong that's why he's seeing a therapist.

It's too bad that Teddy kept himself so isolated from his neighbors. That talk with Phil Freeman was long overdue. Maybe now Teddy can deal with his panic attacks. It was wrong for everyone, including his family, to blame him for Izzy getting taken. It wasn't his fault. He was just a kid. Renee was determined to get her daughter, and like Phil said, he could have been taken too, hurt, or even killed. Charlie suspects Marie has been rexponsible for some of the miracles happening around town. She is doing well. According to Phil she does get out. Just not as much as helen would like. Glad Beau is staying over. Don't like someone sneaking around Marie's yard. I'm sure it's not her imagination, because Phil has seen someone over there too. I hope it's not someone trying to take her again, but someone who wants her help. It might even be Phoenix. It wasn't right of him to take her to that farm, but he was just trying to find her someplace safe. He might not have known how bad they were and the way they treated Izzy. Finally the Newtons and Stanleys are getting investigated. It's about time someone looked into them. Bullies never learn.

Izzy is so generous. Maybe she should invest in properties like the diner instead of giving away her money. It would give her stability for her future. I want to see Izzy sit down with Teddy and have a conversation with him soon. Possibly see him save her from whoever is stalking around her house.

I'm curious as to how Teddy will react when Chelsea comes by his house again now that he knows Izzy is alive and knows how he behaves. I totally get Charlie's overportectedness. I'd be the same way as a parent. As much as Izzy was frightened by Teddy realizing who she really is, she went on the defense with Charile about leaving Forks. She put Leah and Seth's needs before her own. That should mean a great deal to Charlie and Sue.

Glad to see this updated. Thank you. Teddy has a very long way to go.
He needs to think about how Izzy's traima affects HER and not HIM
Date: 09 Nov 2023 4:36 PM Title: Chapter 30
Charlie overreacted. He wants to protect his little girl. Problem is she's not his little girl anymore, she's trying to live the best life she knows how. Leah and Seth are a great support for her, and they're doing well. Good thing Helen is there. She's making Charlie see reason. Teddy understands he treated Izzy badly. But Izzy isn't ready to face him yet. She needs to face her fears for herself to heal. She needs to know that he's changed and cares about her. She was once his best friend and Teddy wants his Izzy back. But Teddy needs to learn about what happened to her, all of it. From the time she was shunned by him, which is why she doesn't trust him, to her time with the cult. He needs to know how damaged she is, and why she'll never completely heal and be his old Izzy ever again.

So his past is coming back to bite him in the butt. Good! He was horrible to Izzy, how could he say he loved her. He left her and treated her badly. And now that he's found out his neighbor, whom he's criticized and done nothing but cause trouble for her, expects her to believe him. He's delusional. If she could ever forgive him he has a lot to make up for. But she can't ever forget. And she shouldn't forgive him. Maybe someetime in the future they could be friends? If he finds out his family has helped and supported her he might feel betrayed by them. SMH... Louanne, I hope your meds help you and you get to feeling better.

How has Teddy not figued out Marie is Izzy? I thought Izzy and Alice would see Izzy's teddy in Teddy's bedroom when they went in there. How has he not lost his job because he's so unprofessional with his homelife? I really wish Chelsea was completely out of the picture. Love the little war Izzy has going on with Teddy. The balls in the car was priceless. Crisckets in the bedroom would bug the hell out of me.

Teddy has really turned into a grumpy man. Glad his family is on Marie's side with the tricks. Teach him not to mess with her and her family. I'm surprised he didn't recognize Izzy when she came over to his house. She's getting braver venturing from her property.

Oh no!!! Not a cliffhanger. Come on, Linda. I need the next chapter fast. I thought Teddy got a restraining order against Chelsea several chapters back. I also thought she was going to a school in Cali; where she thought Teddy was going. Seems like Teddy is thinking with the wrong head. Please don't keep us waiting too long for Izzy's answer to Esme's question.
Sherry
Date: 25 Apr 2023 12:08 AM Title: Chapter 26
Thank goodness nobody tried to hurt Bobby. I was afraid someone from the cult had found Marie and tried to hurt her through her dog. Chelsea has some nerve complaining about Marie playing her guitar on her porch at night, or putting Marie down for knitting on her rocker. If Teddy doesn't want Chelsea around why does he encourage her by sleeping with her. The rumors about him are not good for his reputation as a teacher and he needs to clean his act up and get rid of Chelsea instead of complaining. Teddy still acts like the arrogant entitled brat he became when he was younger. And now Esme recognizes Izzy? What will be Emmett's reaction? And will anyone else find out who Marie is? Caan't wait for that next update!
Date: 24 Apr 2023 11:33 PM Title: Chapter 26
I'm sorry but why is everyone blaming Edwzrd for Chelsea being a stalker? It's like they still blame him for everything and I don't see Carlisle or anyone else suggesting he should put a restraining order, especially since he's been trying to keep away from her. And I don't like Charlie, either he's proud of how Edward changed or he still see's him as a screw up and drug addict, honestly Ennet is not helping either, if Chelsea is doing stuff that doesn't set a good example than why did he hire her, especially knowing how much trouble she is

Izzy doesn't see a future with a mate fpr herself. That's so sad. No one has shown an interest in her romantically because she has so little selfworth she pushes people away. I'm sure Charlie would love to see her in a relationship but he knows she shies away from people she doesn't know. I think he worries about her future too. I wonder if she will ever meet Edward again and what their reaction would be. He doesn't seem interested in anyone. I wonder if he ever thinks about Izzy, he's so busy living his life.

Jasper probably said too much about the patients, even if it were in general. He'll probably end up letting it slip he's seen Izzy. Racheal is a wild card. Hopefully we've seen the last of her. After everything Izzy has been through she's still such a sweet soul.

Jasper saw first hand the damage that was inflicted on those kids physically and mentally. Izzy may never have a normal relationship. Edward feels a lot of guilt for the way he treated Izzy. Thankfully he is away from Siobahn and will be away from Rachel. He has a lot of anger toward himself.

I can't wait until Teddy and Izzy reunite. It will likely be bumpy and Teddy will have earn trust, but I bet he will be the incentive she needs for more education. Her painting and drawings will be things he should recognize at some point - or her signature (on her paintings).

Izzy has a lot of memories of the people in the compound. She helped identify some of them. I think the stories she was told while in the compound might be wrong. Some of the young women became breeders having children starting at the age of fifteen. Sounds like the broker sold those children.

Those girls that made fun of her were friends of Leah. I wonder why Izzy cut all her hair off. Maybe when she gets her feet and ankles fixed she will feel better about herself. She's making such good progress with on-line schooling and working for Heidi. Petal was right, Charlie was too busy to notice what was happening to Izzy. Plus he would have noticed the strangers hanging around town. He was too absorbed about his own grief about Renee. But he's trying to make things right with his daughter.

Some things bugged me about this chapter.
- Edward is basically being sexually harassed by Rachel and nothing's done about it. Maybe it's time for at least a restraining order?
- Sue's on the right track. The commune was using Izzy for their own finanical benefit. They should be responsible for the cost of materials Izzy had to purchase to make the painting they asked her to make for them. They should be court ordered to reimburse Izzy for her out of pocket costs and her time.
- Leah's friends verbally and physically assaulted Izzy. Where is the justice for Izzy there. Those girls should be prosecuted for their assaults. Leah, included since she didn't stop them. What if Izzy weren't able to swim and were thrown into the deep in of the pool and drown. Leah needs more than a light smack to the wrist for allowing Izzy to be harmed, especially in her own home.
- Izzy's entire life people have gotten away with abusing her mentally and physically. They all should face criminal charges.
Love that Helen is taking additional interest in helping Izzy get the medical treatment she needs.

Renee shows no remorse. She actually thinks she did nothing wrong in her treatment of her daughter. She knew Izzy wanted to go home but she just wanted to be with Jacob.
