All Comments on 'Surviving the ravages of life'

Wow just wow. Finished this at 3:50am.

Hmm! Rape is awfull and that violent rape, I did not enjoy that part and lesbian I don’t usually read those stories, but I so enjoy your stories so I read this, it made me feel awful, the way you describe feelings, It made my my stomach knot up, such a clever way with words, and a happy ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really felt for Phoebe, though I've never suffered anything like. I'm glad the character finally found both love and peace.

Great job.

Emotionally charged page turning experience. You never shy away from a challenge. Thanks for creating and sharing this piece.

Deb and I don't care what the haters think, but this just might be your best story, in any category!!

Rape stories fill me with disgust that humans can treat other humans so badly but your story inspires a renewed sense of hope in the human spirit.

My ex was brutally raped. It was difficult to read those portions of the story. I did and am glad. You treated it very well. This is not a story to be enjoyed as one to appreciate the writers skills. Thank you.

You actually discussed three rarely discussed topics; councilor-patient relationships, rape, and lesbian relationships. Not easy, but we’ll done. Thank you for a riveting story. 5 stars.

Difficult story to read. Undoubtedly a difficult story to write. Huge emotions spanning the spectrum over the course of the story. Took a lot of guts to write this story. Thx for giving people a view into what it’s like to be raped, and the extreme difficulties of the aftermath…physically, emotionally, legally..and then you give us a love story, too, Wow

I always adore your stories and literally look forward to whatever masterpiece you're going to gift us next... This really didn't disappoint (as always, your work never does). It was a hard read at times, as others have said it's a very sensitive subject and awful to think about really.

It was certainly an emotive read and I was backing the two heroines throughout. I feel like they're both like phoenixes rising from the ashes... Powerful survivors!

Thanks again Cagivagurl ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wow, a tour de force, impressive.

I always enjoy your stories and many others do as well. A few people have already said it, but I wanted to add that this is your best story yet. It might be the best I have ever read on this sight. Off the top of my head I cannot think of a single story that was better. Thank you so very much for sharing this with all of us. It is great literature.

Wonderful story. A rollercoaster of emotion.

Blew me away. I found it extremely harrowing to read. But that’s what the truly remarkable writers can do. It could never be anything but a five. Randi.

tough story to read, but well worth the effort. You need to navigate spell-check better though. At least twice you identify yourself as a phycologist, a specialist in algae. I suspect that the "h" in the word needed to be an "s".

This was such a powerful and emotional story. I think it’s your best yet.

When I get paid to write this.

You can complain about the punctuation, the grammar and of course the spelling.

Until then....

Sorry you will have to suffer.

Apologies.

Cagivagurl.

You've successfully tackled a difficult subject. I hope that the story truly reflects the level of support given to survivors in your country. It seems to me more than might be available in the UK.

The only qualm I have about this story is that, even though Phoebe is no longer Sara's client, it remains unwise for Sara to get involved with Phoebe while she is still so vulnerable.

No, phycology is the study of algae. She’s not your average bimbo..

Beautiful story, well told.

Wow. So good. A really excellent read.

Your writting makes it Feel real and powerful!!!

A slice of real life, of how love can be found in even very difficult circumstances. 5*.

Fuck mate that is good you really out did yourself this time

Keep'em coming

you do have a way with words, five stars, thanks for the story.

Wow. Another fantastic story. 5stars

As others have said, this was a very powerful story, bravo! I do wonder about your use of punctuation though. A lot of periods where I think a comma is warranted, makes it tough to know where the sentence truly stops. Aside from that, I loved it. Thanks for sharing.

Another good story 5 stars

Another gem of a story. Thank You!

What a brave piece of writing. Brava!

Wonderful plot and characters. Horrible editing. You have so much talent, please refine the way in which you share your talent so it's not distracting, confusing, and detracts from the stories you have to tell.

Thanks for tackling a subject as devastating as rape. The physical trauma usually heals quickly. The mental trauma can last a lifetime. Add in a dash of victim blaming and some just spiral downward until they are gone. I still see the mental scars in friends and loved ones.

As some others said, this is not one of your most well edited works. Usually I have a fairly high tolerance for that, but this one seemed more than a little rough compared to your other amazing work. Please do not take this as a strong negative. Your stories are always entrancing and fulfilling and I am truly grateful for the hard work you put in to make these available for us to enjoy.

Well written, engaging characters. 10 years is not long enough.
