ok, michael's big mouth at the reception desk with his partner and the lady from finance or wherever...

the comment he made about brian wanting time away from "justin's brats" should be reported to cynthia, the receptionists supervisor. totally inapproprite, even saying to another employee let alone two of them. brian would be very upset if he knew about it and considering michael represents the company at that front desk, he should know what he is spewing there for anyone walking by to hear. he should not get away with that.

Sweet Baboo, hit the submit by accident. I feel sorry for Joan she led a horrible life not so different from Janet except she has just about killed herself with the drinking.Her daughter in jail but to scream at Joan after all the mistakes the daughter is as delusional as weasel boy, Brian was the one that was abused his whole childhood. I'm waiting for Granny to do a smackdown on weasel boy, that will give him a reason to whine.            your loving Sally



Author's Response:

Darling Sally, I told another reviewer that Janet & Joan might get a group discount with a therapist.  They are both victims who lacked the strength to break free form their abusers.  I think Granny doesn't think Michael deserves her attention.  Youe Sweet Baboo

Reviewer: bktush (Signed) · Date: May 05, 2021 02:43 PM · On: Chapter 31

Hi Sweet Baboo, Still loving your story.Adore Brian and Justin, but Jen,Granny,and Kevin have become fast favorites, unfortunately the weasel boy is dumber than a rock guess he thought Deb would just throw Joe out. I hope Ted can get the woman who his neighbor talked to do find out about Nina, any body should know that info should never given out .Now for Ken and Janet they truly galling-I kinda felt for Janet but she must have known how controlling Ken was but she has had years where she could have grown a back bone, so she knew this wrong and sadly Ken taught Craig how to control his family but Jen divorced and did'nt care what the family and their friends thought. I think it's so cute Gus and Kevin can calm the twins,especially when Gus sings to them.



Author's Response:

My Darling Sally,  I have been a very, very bad Baboo.  So sorry not to have replied sooner to your comments.  Mikey is very reliable, completely clueless and sefl-centered but unchanging. I think Ted will take care of the neighborhood gossip.  Janet has been dominated for years.  She has let it happen but it starts out slow and builds.  Not sure she has the strength and resources to break free at this stage of her life.  Jennifer was a stronger person but also put up with Craig for quite a while before breaking free.  Almost seems like Lily and Liam know Gus is their big brother and loves them so much. As always it was great to reasd your comments.  Again sorry for my tardiness in responding.  I remain as always, your Sweet Baboo

Reviewer: purpledee (Signed) · Date: April 28, 2021 04:23 PM · On: Chapter 31

Thanks for update!  Glad Justin put the other grandparents in their place.  I hope Michael gets his smackdown soon.  If anyone else was a rude about the owner of the company he works for, he would be fired long ago!!

Looking forward to more,

Deb L.

 



Author's Response:

Hi Deb, truly sorry not to have responded sooner.  Justin always protects his family.  Brian has too much past with Mikey to completley abandon him but it Mikey comes close to Brian's breaaking point.  Thanks for the review!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: mary48 (Signed) · Date: April 21, 2021 04:24 PM · On: Chapter 31

thought some more after reading comments sympathetic to janet and ken.

janet tries to blame hubby and sons for her ignoring justin and molly for so many years. but for me the bottom line is that if you know your grandson was almost killed  in a bashing incident and did NOTHING to find out about his condition, you clearly show you don't really care what happens deep down. NOTHING on this planet would keep jennifer away if one of her grandson's were injured and i think that is true of most grandparents. janet is more concerned about staying married to a dominant man and not disrupting her comfortable (to Her) lifestyle that she deserves no sympathy at all to me. unlike joan, she clearly knew ken was wrong in keeping her away from justin when he was bashed, but let it happen anyway. she, her husband and sons are worth nothing but disgust and to blame their behavior on their precious old testment makes it even worse. too many people use the bible to justify their actions and some of them, like ken, janet, craig and the other worthless son, slam up hard against karma, as they deserve to.



Author's Response:

You always make me smile.  Janet has allowed herself to be dominated.  Ken was better at it than Craig was but it took something drastic for Jennifer to pull away from him.  Janet was really wrong not to reach out to Jennifer and Justin (Just realized all the J names) but she is a victim of spousal abuse.  May she and Joan (another J) can get a group rate with a counselor.  They both need a booster shot of self esteem.  Bill

Hey Bill, hope you are doing well!!   

I am very proud of Joan.   I think she has really come a long way and is definitely turning things around.   And if she continues the way she is, maybe she can try and reach out to Brian again.   I know they have a ways to go, and there are a lot of issues to work through, but I really think the two of them can actually have an honest to goodness talk and maybe even make some progress.   I guarantee it would go a lot better than that chat between Justin and his grandfather...   LOL 



Author's Response:

I am doing well but am a very bad author for not respoding to comments sooner.  I apologize!!!!!  Joan has a ways to go, she has to accept Brian and Justin for who they are.  Almost any talk would be better than the Justin/Ken discussion.  Thanks for the comments!!!  Bill

This is a lot to unload . What is going on with Lindsay? Poor Ted having to deal with busybodies. I'm waiting for Mikey to do the next stupid thing.

Reviewer: vic32 (Signed) · Date: April 19, 2021 09:26 AM · On: Chapter 31

So fantastic to see a new chapter of this amazing story. I feel for JR she deserves to have a better home life just like Gus is getting. Debbie is doing a wonderful job with her and Mel and Linds need to be careful and be thankful that. Brian and Justin have been through so much so it's great seeing the good people in their life stay and the bad get weeded out. Nina is such a wonderful little girl and Ted and Blake love her so I hope that wicked woman across the road gets dealt with. There are so many emotions and beautiful moments in this. Fantastic work as always x



Author's Response:

I will start with an apology for not responding sooner, that is very wrong of me!!  Happy you enjoyed the last chapter.  I suspect some big changes are coming to JR's home life.  I think Debbie is enjoying spending timw with her granddaughter but will not accpet unreasonable interference.  Ted will come out ahead.  His neighbor is a fool.  Thanks for all your kind words!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: mary48 (Signed) · Date: April 18, 2021 10:17 PM · On: Chapter 31

well, that was quite a chapter! justin and molly handled things perfectly with craig's parents. glad they will not get to see the kids and spread their venom.

brian's confession to granny about seeing justin lying on the garage floor proves that he loves and accepts granny as a valuable addition to his family and clearly believes she loves them all.

was very glad ted contacted brian's lawyer about the busy body across the street. should be fairly easy to find out who "bev" is and take appropriate measures. would like to see both bev and the neighbor sued. that would teach a good lesson.

i loved how tillie has taken joan under her wing and even gladder the joan allowed that to happen. joan needs some help from the parish priest to help her understand that brian and justin's relationship is not an abomination. joan needs a firm introduction to the new testament. joan seems really motivated to stay sober and i hope can start to have her grandson's around again. brian is a good man and he will forgive joan if he sees real progress. he talks tough but he really is a softie, especially when it comes to family.

mel has serious issues regarding males, as well as many others. it was nice to see debbie climb all over her when complained about "joey" being around JR. as i think about it, debbie rarely really goes off on family but recently she has seriously jumped both michael and melanie and it was good to see.

also glad it looks like kate's lawyer will be disbarred. not sure exactly what can be done to the law firm, but i would think granny could, and should, sue them into bankruptcy. she certainly has grounds to do it. and the best thing to do with them it hit them in the pocketbook and provide the bad publicity of a court trial to make other clients run to new law firms.

also happy to see that brian enjoyed his return to work altho he does miss being home with the twins and his family.

i really want to see what happens when brian and justin go to pick up all gus' clothes and toys from the munchers... 

great chaper!!



Author's Response:

Glad you enjoyed the chapter and I am sorry not to have responed sooner.  I so appreciate all your comments and support and fell down on my job to reply.  Justin is fiercely protective of his family.  Whatever feelings he may have for the Taylor grandparents, he won't allow them the opportunity to hurt Brian or their children.  Ted is notgoing to let gossip create a probelm for his family.  Joan is lucky top have support but she needs to revaluate her view of Brian and Justin or she will not be accpeted into their family.  Mel see how Lindsay had been impacted by her "father's" abuse but has passed the ine of reason.  The lawyer will be disbarred but I think Granny wants to put the whole episode behind her.  She was so hurt by Kate I think she prefers to just move forward with her life.  I see Grandmom Jen playing a role in getting Gus's possesions.  Thanks as always for your comments and I promise to do better about responding.  Bill

Joan has come a long way.  Not so Craig's father.  Brian has found piece with Justin and his kids.  Shame Michael is stuck in his believe that Brian can't possible be happy.  Poor Ted, I'm looking forward to reading what you give us concerning the nosy neighbor.



Author's Response:

Joan still has a ways to go.  Ken is happy with his life view, just like his son was.  Mikey is as solid as the rock of Gibralter, clueless but solid.  I think Ted will win this round with his annoying neighbor.  Sorry to take so long to reply!!!!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: marie-france (Signed) · Date: April 18, 2021 09:43 AM · On: Chapter 31

So happy to see an update. Hope everything went well and you will start enjoying your home.

Mélanie is crazy! I think she's trying to get locked up by attacking Debbie like that. Michael is also going to get lost in his fantastic life, I am waiting for the moment when it will happen.

It's sad for Janet to agree to follow her husband even when she wants to know her grandchildren, but for what reasons? She must feel lonely. I don't know her situation but she should take Granny's example and take charge of her life without Ken but I think it's too late for that.

I had a tear when Brian spoke about Justin's assault, it's so deep in him this pain.

I hope Ted knows the right people and Anabel Harper is one, to silence the neighbor and prevent her from harming more people.

Life is always happy at the Taylor-Kinney's and I hope Joan can take advantage of it on a few occasions, Christmas, birthdays, we'll see but I think she's very aware of what she's done but she deserves it. let him open the door a little. The nephews can help and Tillie is a good person to helpher too.

.That's it and I'm already waiting for the next update. Take care of you.

Author's Response:

Start with an apology for not reponding sooner.  You are always so supportive by posting comments, I appreciate that and should have posted a reply.  I think Mel is just completely overwhelmed.  She see what abuse has done to Lindsay and is seeing issues where none exist.  Linds is still deeply troubled.  Janet has taken second place to Ken for so long I'm not sure she can break away from his control.  The bashing is something neither Brian nor Justin will ever completely get over.  I think Ted will come out on top of the neighbor situation.  We will have to see if Joan can continue with her recovery and open her heart a little to dispel her homophobia.  Thanks for the review!!!!!!  Bill

Reviewer: shf1210 (Signed) · Date: April 18, 2021 03:52 AM · On: Chapter 31

I knew the Taylor grandparents were where their sons learned their hate, and that they would be unable to accept Brian. 

Brian talking to Granny about the bashing was so out of character for Brian and could only happen with someone who also truly loves Justin.

i hope Ted finds out who talked and gets them fired and the neighbor in trouble, the neighbor reported all to my Mom about me and my sisters got extra eggs at Halloween...

I loved Brian’s short day back at work he snubbed Mikey and fired someone and may bring Gus with him to work soon (that might need to happen next chapter) and then he comes home kisses everyone and almost burps a baby in his suit. 

Mel and Linds are up to something I don’t know what but I feel sorry for JR already...

i guess I end with Joan, I don’t like her, I don’t trust her and I worry her getting on Debbie and Jens good side will have them doing something stupid to Brian.

Now please go write Gus going to work with Daddy I need to read that SOON!

i know how much I hate moving so I hope yours was better then any of mine and you are now all moved in and can write the next chapter...



Author's Response:

I have been a very bad author and not reponded to reviews in a timely manner.  That is bad and I really do apologize.  I love to read the comments so I need to respond.  All of us are products of our enviornment but some people are able to overcome their upbringing.  Craig was not one of those overcomers.  I think Brian trusts Granny.  He can sense she loves his Sunshine unconditionally.  I'm sure Brian enjoyed being back at Kinnetik for a short time.  It made coming home all the sweeter.  Truly a doting parent not to consider suit damage with a burping attempt.  Lindsay has some serious issues that I'm not sure she will be able to overcome.  I don't think Joan has moved to anyone's good side.  I would say that Debbie and Jennifer are cautiously optimistic.  I think Gus will lobby hard to go to work with Daddy. Bill

YAY!!!!  My begging for a new chapter that I did to my computer screen yesterday resulted in a new chapter!!!

I feel for Janet, but she did sort of bring this on herself. She made the choice of being subservient and letting her bigoted closed-minded asshole husband not give a damn about her feelings. And she continues to allow it to happen, so she must not really want her grandchildren in her life.  Or at least not Justin & Molly. It just makes me appreciate Jennifer all the more that she had the strength to not allow that to happen to her and loving her children more than willing to settle for a comfortable life with a controlling bigoted asshole. Maybe Janet will grow a spine, but I doubt it. Her loss.

Had to laugh at your typo calling Melanie Meanie. LOL  I recently read that typo in another story and thought how appropriate the typo was. Meanie is just out of control. Deb was right in the fact that Meanie just hates males, no matter the age which led to the mistreatment of Gus and the spoiling of her daughter by making Gus pay for JR's misdeeds.  That is how she feels about men, she is all about blaming males for her mistakes, fuck-ups and hatefulness. She really needs a psychiatrist right along with her cra-cra bitch of a wife.  And wow, I feel like I am really cussing a lot this evening, but when the words fit, they fit.

Speaking of bitches, poor Ted having to deal with that trouble-making, gossiping bitch neighbor of his.  Glad he stood his ground and let Sybil know he didn't like her thinking that either, even if it was for just a moment. Ted is a good father and a good man and he did not deserve that at all.  I wouldn't have told the biddy anything and served her with a slander lawsuit since she was spreading vicious lies about Ted & Blake. But Ted is way nicer than me.  As I have mentioned before, I'm a vindictive bitch myself. LOL

Loved the trust that Brian has of Granny and love how much she loves the kids (especially Gus) and how happy she is living there.  I was actually wondering if there was any news about Kate's unethical lawyer. Glad to know that they are still trying to make that disbarment happen.

Creepy  is as delusional as ever. Loved Brian enjoying his day at work.

I'm glad Joan is rejoining the world a bit. Tilly is a good woman. I was surprised that Joan went to talk to Deb, but it was a good talk. I don't know if she can ever truly be forgiven or not but I thought it showed a lot of growth in how she is currently viewing things. But who knows what she will think or say next time.  I do believe in redemption for some, not sure if Joanie deserves it, but I am glad to see her growth today and the knowledge and acknowledgement of the horrible things she has done in her life and her understanding it will probably be impossible for her victims to forgive or want to be in her life.

I have to admit that I teared up in two places in this chapter; 1) when Brian told Granny he still can see Justin on the garage floor, and 2) when Joan started crying (never thought I would cry for her -- okay, I'm a crier, don't even let me near a Hallmark movie).

Great chapter!! Thank you for posting.  Can't wait for a new chapter!

Hope your move went well and you are all settled in at your new house.

Holly  



Author's Response:

Move was good, still some unpacking to do.  It is very hard to change the habits of a lifetime, Janet doesn't see, to be making any changes.  Joan on the other hand seems to be making needed changes.  Several people seem to enjoy my unintentional categorization of Melanie.  She doesn't seem to realize her life is wildly off course.  I think Ted will come out on top with his neighborhood dispute.   Brian knows that Granny is genuine and that she really loves two of the mopst important people in his life:  Justin & Gus.   You really have a pick against poor Mikey.  He knows he is right even if the rest of world doesn't realize it.  Joan is really making positive changes to her life.  I hope it continues.  Very falttering that I can move you to tears, thank you!!!  Always move to ready your comments!!!  Bill

C'etait Super. Je voulais pas que sa s'arrête. Ken est un idiot.  J'en étais sûr que rien n'allait changer. Je suis contente pour Joan c'est bien. Pour Ted, j'espère qu'ils vont trouver cette assistante sociale.

Heureux que vous avez apprécié cette mise à jour. Ken se coupe de beaucoup de bonheur et la pauvre Janet va avec lui. J'espère que la vie de Joan continuera de s'améliorer.   Bill
