This was triggering to read and I think I needed it. I understood this. I felt it. Abuse is so insidious. It chips away at your autonomy and your sense of self. A part of you keeps believing that if you don't anger them this time then maybe they will stop. But they don't stop. It escalates and escalates until you stop recognizing yourself.

I was there too, I got out. I'm glad you got out too.

I hate that society blames the victim, asking why they didn't get out or why they went back. It's complicated. I'm grateful Sesshoumaru realized what he had done in the end. Most abusers will never admit they're abusers and would prefer to believe they're in the right until the day they die. They will cling to that little power they have because their narrative of how they had to do it to you all the control they have left after you break away.

Wow~ I feel terrible that I liked this so much.  I guess it's the angsty way that you wrote everyone, it hits hard and the shock at the end with Sesshomaru's pov just changed the feel- it's bittersweet to read he really loved her

This was intense! Thank you for the suggestion and the awareness. Abuse is so common nowadays and comes in many forms. Thank you for bringing such to light! 

I was so not going to read this but I was compelled to. I read the reviews and knew what was going to happen and I still read it. It was so well written and beautiful. I hate abuse but I could not stop reading. Poor Kagome. I feel bad but atleast he learnt his lesson in the end too

So sad but a very powerful message. 

Ok now I'm crying n can't see the screen :( Good writing style n thank you for writing abt this important subject. Loved the story, keep up the good work dear. Now let's go wash up~

I give it 5 stars very sad but very honest nice job.

I absoluetly adored this. Perhaps there's something seriously wrong with me - yet I fancy tragedies and dark fiction. I enjoyed the realism in this as it touched base on the serious topic of domestic violence. This was well composed. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to reading more of your work. 

I agree there are several ways to handle a situation like that.  Your local community has resources to help ones in situations like that.  Don't be afraid! By strong!

And although  situations like that are common. This story was well written and sad but  it rings with truth if you avoid reality

That was....wow. 
Are you looking to write more? :O I sure hope so! If you're interested I have plenty of ideas in my mind.  

Death seems to bring out reality and the light in some people, but when that person is the one who dealt the deathly blow, its to late to be full of light because they will forever have darkness, because of their actions.
