All Comments on 'I'm not Angry Anymore'

What's sad is that there are genuinely self destructive people like her and there's little to nothing ya can do for em then it becomes too late. Even if Jimmy did marry her, she'd still be an alcoholic slut. Just sad about her, and I'm worried for the baby. Marla was clearly still drinking during pregnancy.

A terribly sad tale. Addiction doesn't care who you are or who you hurt. It's a constant drain on life and love.

5*

It is not her fault that she was born a psychopath and hurt so many in her short life. She was just too stupid to hide her true self.

Always a joy to see a new story from you.

Thanks

A really well told sad story, thank you for writing it, the problem for me, I feel a touch depressed and not remotely swollen!

Yup, gave it a 5. Good story, dude...

She did herself in in the end!

What a sickening sad end for Marla. What a wake of destruction she left. A tragic introduction to the real world for Guinevere, but at least she’s got a good man in Jimmy in her corner.

I love the post-story character notes. They’re not my favorite part of the JB44 stories, but a close second at least. I think they’re a reminder to me that every bit player in every story has their own drama/comedy/tragedy in which they are the star standing center stage.

Thank you for another new tale.

She was unfit for life. She was unfit to be a girlfriend, unfit to be a wife, and unfit to be a mother. Some would say this story is in the wrong category as they were not married. She was married just not to him and she was a cheating wife. *****

5*

⭐⭐⭐

Sometime, somewhere, something close to this happened. Good job. 5*

I know you write for your own enjoyment but sometimes you put out some dark stuff. It’s well written and emotional. Good writing and dialogue. Just a bit dark for me. Thanks for sharing your story.

Sad story. Some people are born doomed. I've met a few. I've also met a few who seemed that way, but weren't, in the end. D

Interesting read.

Always a good day when a JB44 story is posted. Very dark, but also, unfortunately, realistic.

Another excellent story, sir.

Logically, you think that nobody could be as deluded as Marla obviously is. Her multiple attempts at reconciliation are patently false, even to the casual observer. Yet, as unbelievable as Marla's antics are, we all know people in real life that behaved exactly like she does in this story.

Very interesting and very sad. I can't say I liked the theme as it was harsh.

Always like a visit back to DeGarde. This tale was a little darker than your usual fare. Maybe it shows you succeeded, but Jimmy's dispassionate demeanor had me feeling the same about all the characters. 4*

Since we both seem to know or are kin to the same type of people, I always look forward to your postings. I must say that this is the shortest story of yours that I have ever read. I liked it and hope you will continue along these lines. Thanks.

Well constructed and written tale. The baby is fortunate her daddy fought for her, and addictive personalities are heart breakers for everyone they know. Marla was fortunate, in an awful way. Her future was terrifying.

A sad but all too real story. I hope you write a follow up for Jimmy getting a happily ever after..

Thanks for writing

I laughed our loud at the Grandfather’s advice prior to the prom. Excellent dialogue throughout.

I have this image of a wall in JimBob44's house covered with sticky notes with various differently-colored strings connecting them together that helps him keep track of all the characters in this world he's created.

Well done, as always.

That was well told. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done, as always.

Loved it. I would have given it 5 stars, but you left the M/C hanging. Hook him up with the cop. He could do worse. Oh, wait, he already did. The Bear approves.

The BEAR

That was definitely different!!!

Another writer rises into the abyss of mediocrity!

1 Star. Author too focused on world building to write a decent story.

Ultimately an extremely sad tale about waste, a wasted life, opportunity and yes even love.

Thanks for the read! It's a nice (sad) story but, it's difficult as a reader to go from one 'scene' to another in next paragraph.

It was well written, but just a very sad story.

I've always found it tragic when pretty girls that started out with every advantage in life, end up destroying themselves over drink or drugs.

Depressing because it's realistic. Some people manage to consistently ruin their lives. Jimmy could have married Marla, demanded counseling, and talked to her about not drinking so much. However, unless she sees that she has a problem and is willing to work on it, it wouldn't matter. Ultimately, her cheating and drinking would have led her to the same place she ended up.

Never fails to satisfy, no matter how long the story is. 5*

Liked it. Felt honest.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Good news and bad news..they grow up". Yes they do, yes they do.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Good news and bad news..they grow up". Yes they do, yes they do.

So... was this a tribute to Jerry Springer, or something?

I’m not a fan of all your stories, but this one held my interest. I prefer not to have a tour of the characters before the story starts. It seems like a short cut. I realize lots of people like short cuts. But I prefer character development as part of the story. Same with the long list of character commonality with other of your stories at the end. Your story should stand alone. This one did. Nice job. 5*

Damn, I wish you'd write something a little lighter. Your last few have been rough. Well written, but damn.

Melodrama, soap opera, whatever. Another group of people whose lives began and ended in high school. You lost me when they met in the eighth fucking grade.

In answer to the comment made by JTP. I wasn't aware that each story is supposed to make one sexually aroused. Sure, there's sex involved, but it doesn't need to the focus of the story. Then again, you think cuck stories are great works of art.

As usual, you wrote a fun story. Kerp em coming

His grandfather should've told him NEVER trust condoms a chick brings with her.. always use your own personal condoms.. he did right by not marrying her just cause she got pregnant... 1st off nobody does that anymore.. there's no need to marry someone just because you got them pregnant.. you can co parent without legally attaching yourself to the person... imagine had he actually marry her.. she was a hot mess.. I don't know what trauma she was trying to drink away, but it was not working.. I did feel a little bad for her but not really.. I hate a sneaky chick.. poking holes in the condoms was sneaky and wrong.. she tried to force him into a relationship he clearly didn't want.. I don't think things would've played out any different had he married her. She was a drunken drugged out slut🤷🏾‍♀️🤭.... I think she was just annoyed he didn't want a real relationship with her and wrongly assumed she'd forced him into one regardless if he want it or not.. this type of stuff was happening when I was in high-school, except these chick's weren't poking holes in condoms to force a marriage, it was to secure that 18yrs of child support..

Obvious mental illness and no one tried to help.

Sad story! Makes you wish you could step in and help Jimmy put a stop to all the destructive behaviour. Jimmy didn't help matters though by continuing to hate fuck her.

I think you are one of the most interesting, funniest authors on this site. I grew up in Beaumont, TX and all my friends were Cajuns whose dads worked in oil refineries on the Gulf coast. You have perfectly nailed the dialect, patois and general attitude of the working class coonass (not meant as an insult and most Cajuns don’t consider it to be one.)

Great story, loved it. Five stars! Thanks for sharing your work with us.

Enjoyed it.

But I had trouble with so many new names popping up, in, and out.

Sad tail. Tanks!

LOVE slap-hapy-papy #9

This story was above Average, but not quite the I Liked it. But I rounded up and gave it 4*

Just a real sad situation.

Good one Jim Bob. As usual all five star became golden... I am wondering when little Guinevere Fae Schoenberger will appear again. How you keep all these characters entering new stories is amazing.

The Steinbeck of south Louisiana/southeast Texas.

Thanks for sharing your efforts.

I gave this one 4-stars. I would have given it 5 if it weren't for being so dam sad. The problem is there are a lot of people who fit into this role model. Is it nature or nurture? The answer is still out. Maybe it will never be answered. Hopefully it's nurture so Guinevere has a change in life.

The story had promise, however it dragged on in the middle, too much bs dialog, 3*

4* coincidentally, I knew two people similar to Marla. Not friends though.

I have to give you credit for character development. I found myself sad and emotional at the end of the story, which tells us that you did a good job writing characters that engaged my feelings. Character development can be tough, so you definitely have promise as a writer.

Had to yank up Concrete Blonde on YouTube just to set the mood. Good story.

Thank you! Amazing story. Karma is... karmic. The best kind of BTB, where the main character lives happily ever after (well, until his daughter starts dating at least :-P) and the Fate/Karma delivers the burning.

I'm sincerely hoping the redheaded police officer and Jimmy will make a future appearance as a pair?

Good one, as always. Thanks for sharing.

Not a bad story. Somewhat confusing trying to keep the names straight. Keith was Kenny’s dad. He went to visit grandpa. Then this: “Keith managed, barely, to crawl to his truck and drive himself to the St. Elizabeth Parish Trauma Center. He made up a story about being jumped;”. Did grandpa beat up on Keith? Or should it have read “Kenny managed….?”

I’m done with the relentlessly bleak, one dimensional portrayals of lower class people. You’ve turned in stangstar - a hundred slight variations on the same story. Try challenging yourself

Great story, as usual. Thanks for posting.

wow

Another top-notch tale from you, good sir.

Thank you for continuing to write great stories.

Superb. Loved the dynamic with his take no nonsense grandfather.

Can't give it 5 stars because of the dark nature but you are a good story teller and I read everything you write. Thanks

Superb!

Depressing story, but top storytelling as always. Five stars and eternal gratitude for sharing your talent with us.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Oh, this is 5 stars, without a doubt.

Very said story but why wasn’t the grandparents involved the the infant

Love the story disliked the ending

5••••••

I enjoyed it but didn't grab me as some of your stories have! Not like Tuff as Nails does, probably my favourite story on this site! Shows you I'm a softy, who likes happy endings! 4*

Great sad story of reall life.

I don't often give stars based solely on content. But in this case I awarded only three stars because of the descent of a girl with some promise into oblivion. Not at all palatable.

JPB

Very tight, but such a sad, dark story. Odds are pretty high the daughter will suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome.

One can only hope that it's avoided. Thank You. Your work is real life. 5

This story is more evidence that you shouldn’t write them while drunk or stoned.

Wow.

Another great JB44 story, but in no way a happy one. This was just too damn close to reality to not be depressing.

A tale of reality in too many lives of those who sit on the fringe of society.

More great writing about JimBob44's world of DeGarde LA. Thanks for your stories. 5*****

Well

It's a sad story, but very compelling. Gave it five stars.

For those who like the stories to be realistic, this is it in spades. There are a lot of nutty, self-absorbed girls out there.

Stumbled upon this from the new stories page expecting a quick little smut piece and ended up double checking if I was indeed on literotica because this reads like a bestselling novel. Incredible (although it left me tearing up instead of turned on). Five stars, please please write a book, or several

Life's a bitch then you die. Could be any town USA. Five stars for another real life story.

Good writing quality.

But truly a sad tragic story.

Thanks JimBob44.

Good story keep them coming very good writer

Another very well written story by a very talented author.One of the very few true talents on the web

Well I sure loved it! [and not for all the btb or righteous garbage some go on with, simply for the story of never giving in to adversity]

Kinda dark

Thanks again JB44.

Thanks for letting us into your bayou world

And all the recurring characters!

Single dad does his duty, good to see

Nice.

Another interesting and well written story

from the talented JimBob44.

I especially liked the part

about the young ones growing up

being both good news and bad.

Truer words have never been written.

Top ratings from me.

A great tale, very well told...

5 stars.

Great story just wish Marla could have had a redemption ark. Too many sad stories.

Pointless story designed to extract misery

Another good one. 5* Is there anymore about Jimmy's Grandfather anywhere?

Well mystery solved of who the girl in the trailer was that burned up in a previous story! Thank you for clearing up that mystery!

Please do keep writing and I will keep reading!
