I don't review often, but I feel this deserves it. There are a lot of things I love about this story, but Bella is driving me mad. (This is not critical towards you at all!) I get that Bella is going to have some confidence issues, but I feel like no one is really giving her the tools to solve her problems. She is being completely irrationally. Someone needs to show her that her emotions are not the same thing as reality. Her criticism of herself is never constructive and never something she would say to a friend. She needs to stop unconstructive criticism in her head and her mouth cold. It's okay to feel like a part of yourself needs improvement, but not through mean thoughts. She needs to examine her actions and choices without adding her emotional understanding of herself and then she will stop having such horrible esteem issues. Also she needs to think about how her words about herself affect others. Edward and her friends don't tolerate others being mean about her and it makes them feel horrible when she is, and that is her worst quality. Her words are constantly hurting her friends. She needs to fake it until she makes it in her head and reality. Zero tolerance for unconstructive criticism. She can begin doing it for the sake of her friends. Strong work on getting an emotional reaction from me.

Hopefully, most of the angst is behind them? This has been brutal for everyone (me included).

Loving this story! Charlie is horrible, poor Bella has had to endure lots of abuse from those around her. But in case, it has been worth a bit of pain-- especially if she ends up with Edward.

I am enjoying the story so far. The problem I am having and I know she has had a shit life but Bella cries way too much. Sorry, I dont want to offend you but I have never known anyone to cry over so much. Also, everyone tries to reassure Bella she isn't fat but they are all saying to her yes you are heavier, but that not going to help her self esteem at all. Speaking as a larger woman if my husban was always telling me I was heavy it would be a blow to my self esteem just as bad as if he said I was f fat. I find that for the size you are trying to have her pictured as a better thing for people to say would be ya your not a size 4 or 6 but you are not fat, that seems more incouraging then ya you are heavy.

fist pumping she got her groove in confidence. charlie's issue seems like the universe testing her for HER to know she is stronger than she thinks no matter how you deal with a situation like that is just seems you GOING through it makes you strong and makes you realize, 'hey i LIVED through that so i can make it through anything' i love it :)

yes!!!!!!
that is what i love about estrogen power!!!!
FINALLY!!! she stood up to a meanier! and i applaud her. the past stays in the past for a reason, words can make or break you and she has a choice to either break her or to make her stronger and im glad to see she is getting stronger.

is it wrong that it is getting to the point i am disliking Bella?!
REGARDLESS of her father being the way he was you would think she would be grateful of Edward. i sadly, would applaud him if he left her even as a break becuase of what she puts him though it is quite selfish and i cant seem to understand how someone could be that way.
im honestly not hating your writing i LOVE your stories i reallly do i just cant understand...

Such a painfully beautiful story. I enjoyed it immensely.
I had to read it slowly. I have PTSD & it was a bit triggering at times. However, your warnings before angsty chapters were quite helpful.
Thank you for sharing your gift.

how old is this story? am I really late? probably... *shrugs* ..Im addicted to your writing so I'm in 'catch up' mode. HI! I hv a few things to say:
1. chick that you base Bella's body type off of is hot... no homo..all homo... dnt really care.
2. if that's Bella, and you're essentially Bella... you're hot. -- love you, embrace you, fuck anyone that says differently.
3. this story is awesome; my hit list is growing every chapter so its a good thing these are fictional characters.
mmk...bak to reading :) thanks for sharing your words..

Well if someone like Bella there will be lots of suspects.

Personally I think the model is pretty hot and very curvy. Lots of guys like that body type. She may notice guys noticing her if she was more confident. Poor B. She is around of a lot of short people.

I'm kind of disappointed in one aspect of the story. I am a huge Jasper /Alice fan and I know he was an asshole to her but I felt like he should have been forgiven. Alice and Jasper belong together. That's just my opinion. Instead of Bella getting shot you should have made Jasper jump in front of the bullet for her because he does care for her as his sister. Maybe even made him die trying to save her. That would have been a more dramatic ending. But than again that's my opinion. I really like the story though you've made me cry many times in this story. I love the story your really talented!

i never got why jasper disliked Bella so much ... I'm a size 12 and on my best day i'm a 10 but i'm usually flactuating between 10 and 12 and i dont see my self as fat nor do i have rolls .. I just dont get jasper here at all ..

He admitted that Bella is good and she made Rose smile then why hate her later .

Ok, this must have written recently because when I read this story there wasn't any children. I am so happy that Edward and Bella had two kids and that Roselie found true happiness and children. I will retread this story since I found that a lot of stuff happened that I did not even know had happened. You have made this story even better than it was. I am going to your page and read all of your stories. Well done.

What a great story!!! Lots of emotions. I loved each chapter and am sorry that I didn't review after each and every one. I just kept hitting next. So sorry for that.
I want to applaud you for taking on a subject that is near and dear to my heart. Overweight. Not every human is lucky to never experience that. While throughout my life I've had my ups and downs, I finally just learned that I am who I am. Once I accepted that fact my life became more bearable. Even people's perceptions changed. I believe others experience the vibes that you exude. They see the way you face life.
One thing that I would like for you to consider. I know you have a lot of writing on your plate. You do an amazing job telling stories. I'd love for you to write a PG-13 version of this story for the younger girls who struggle with this issue. Self-worth is a valuable trait and can be hard to obtain. As you wrote Bella, you put each and every aspect into the proper perpsective, from when she was younger, losing her mother, dealing with a self-destructive and abusive father through learning how to love onself and believe that it's ok to be what you are. But the wonderful way you put Edward's love and friendship for Bella into words was very powerful and simply special. There is someone out there for everyone - somewhere, someway. You just have to have faith, continue to believe in yourself and have hope. And as you've relayed, sometimes these things come even when you least expect them.
I've loved all of your stories that I've read. I still have a few more that I need to get to. Thank you for writing for our fandom. I admire you and your talents. Your words are very heartfelt.
