All Comments on 'The Worst Gift - Scott and Rhian'

Wonderful! The counselor is a hoot. Caz definitely needs her services.

Great way to continue the story with this part. 5stars

Nicely done!

***Thanks for the read.

Well done. The counsellor was hilarious and I would like to see more if her.

Cute.

Oh, I adored this.

Very entertaining.

Fantastic.

Fantastic

LMAO

Nice... do keep writing. Don't let the nattering nabobs of negativism stop you.

Very entertaining! Like the original too

awesome

Great and creative way to connect a sequel.

Great story as all ways. I fully agree with you: I don't think Scott would be more forgiving. Imo I don't understand how any child could possibly be fully forgiving, because wether he knew it or not, part of the very foundation of his life had been based upon a lie.

I feel slightly ashamed to say that I took a great amount of schadenfreude at the fate of Agnus. A best friend who chases his friend's girl is a heinous pathetic man.

Looking through the comments it seems this story has critical acclaim!

De pronto me arrepiento de no estudiar siquiatria

Ajajajajaj

Que buen personaje

Grrr. Just when I think you are a one trick pony you manage to give me something that actually resembles realism.

.

And yes, that was a backhanded compliment I suppose.

.

So look, therapists are people too and are driven by the same motivations and desires as everyone else. We are not perfect and what drives us may not always be entirely derived from empathy.

.

That being said, though I have never been financially driven, I must confess that excitement over a particularly interesting patient absolutely happens. No two patients are the same but themes can be. A patient with unique challenges within one's specialty is always welcome. Any therapist who claims otherwise is lying.

Are some financially driven? Yes. Do some get off on salacious aspects of their patients lives? Of course. I can promise you that due to the nature of my specialty, that doesn't happen with me. I would have to be the most disgusting bitch in the world.

.

I will admit to being a bitch at times. I admit that I could probably be more diplomatic in my personal life. I am not however a sadist. I'd have to be to experience pleasure in that way.

Anyway, I like this character. Moved away from comedy and handled in a mature and careful manner, she could be really interesting.

Needs a follow up.

Waiting for the next part.

Scott is about right. His mother is not remorseful, just that it was outted

A bitch of a counsellor, only in it for the money

The idea that everyone should, and even can, see the world through the same eyes is insanity. Is Caz remorseful for what she did. I'm pretty sure she is after finding out that her son is her husband's and Angus had a vacectomy. Is she remorseful for wanting a son and another child, no and why should she be. Is she remorseful for going about it the way she did? Probably not and given the information at the time why should she be. Pretty sure that 20 years later she was truly remorseful for all of it, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't have done it knowing what she did at the time.

The husband had plenty of time to get her pregnant, even during the affair. That they only managed one child suggests that they weren't both firing in all cylinders. 18 years and only one child, pull the other one.

Could have been in the humor section

@anonymous two before me - neither Darren nor Caz were firing on both cylinders. Caz was mentioned

She was a piece of work and the kind that is an awful example for the children she desires so obsessively.

I fully agree with you about Scott. He was right now to forgive his mother. Caz betrayed her husband, someone she was supposed to have joined souls with, therefore she betrayed the whole family. That is unforgivable. It wasn't a one time mistake, it was an ongoing, manipulative, ten year affair.

She deserves her misery

imo of course

love the first part and this one. 5 stars

therapist is my favorite BIG5

Hilarious. Loved it. Thanks.

Pretty funny thanks!

Huh??? Really??? WTF??? What is the point of this story???

OK, I'm sorry, I agree with the last comment. It was well written but I fail to see a point of this follow-up chapter. It wasn't funny, it wasn't insightful into human condition (other than an obvious fact that most people are assholes, including mental health "professionals" and other such like councilors). It didn't offer any new insight or info into original story; it didn't offer any further punishment for the two assholes - thankfully, original story provided enough of that to keep me personally happy. I'm giving this 3.5 stars, because it wasn't terribly offensive, nor was it bad writing - just pointless and a bit of a waste of time honestly. I didn't make me depressed or annoyed the way RAACs do, so not worth lower rating. I am hoping the rest of the author's work follows the mold of chapter 1 (so far, I read 3 of his stories and liked all 3).

As the 100 year old joke goes: “If you’re a little bit messed up, you see a therapist. If you’re batshit crazy, you become one!”

ZK

Yay, that's just what I always thought,,,

Therapists hahaha used to have a friend that was a therapist. He actually went crazy and was committed. Before that he admitted to us friends that most all therapy professionals of all types laugh out load when their clients leave their office.

Oh, that was good. Finished with a chuckle. :) *****

Oh so well done, love the thought process that you have put in this.

Finished reading the story, but I don't see the point of it in relation to part 1. It didn't add to, nor enhance the overall story. Left me confused.

I didn't give a rating for this one.

Still, thank you for sharing.

Most amusing. 5*****

Most interesting. 5*****

Still very low key. 🔑 worth at least 4 stars.

Caz was such a stupid, selfish bitch. Sigh.

With as long as the first part was, this could have been tacked on the end of it. This felt like a bit of a pointless read.

The self-centeredness of the counselor was jarring and a distraction.

Enjoyed the device of the self absorbed counselor. Was fun tongue in cheek. Entertaining read.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🎯

A Very tongue in cheek story. Funny and fun to read.

Thanks

I’d like to see Caz in therapy.

Hilarious, your take on Therapists is a treat. I loved it

5/5

So humorous. The by-play is great. The portray of the therapist is priceless. This is the 5th story of yours that I have read and I live your style and way with words. The betrayal was very sad but Caz's treatment softened the blow a bit. Self women are so predictable and well stupid/delusional. I love Rhian's moral character and determination. Nothing equates to punishing Caz more than not being able to visit her son and R's home. Thanks for sharing....

LOL, great, especially the thoughts on what he can buy with a few more sessions and clients.
