First off, I think the counselling thing is a good idea. But I'm sure you know you're right on a point like that.
As for Deirdre... I think she can handle it. Having her babies healed a lot of wounds for her. To be honest, I think the loss of Kait is a much more raw wound than what she went through before all that. And you're right, talking to someone who can understand every aspect of what she went through would probably be good for Mara. Anna's been wonderful, but there's no way she could relate to the pregnancy aspect, thank the stars.
Of course, I'll be there to support Deirdre if and when she needs it. I think this can work. It might do Deirdre some good to help someone else through it, too.
Not at all, Abby. Of course I'll ask her. I think it will be okay.
You weren't to know, sweet Abby. What was happening between you and Stuart was an important part of the process leading up to where you are now. I really believe that. You are in no way responsible for what happened to Mara. Some arsehole who was too much of a coward to even show his face did that.
You're an amazingly intelligent woman, but you can't know and predict everything. This wasn't your fault.

How are you doing, Abby?

I'm... I drove my daughter out of the house and she was taken by a lunatic who starved her, raped her, and got her pregnant. I'm not spectacular.
