Smart doctor.

An intense chapter, but nice progress.

Frustrated because I'm on my phone and can't comment properly. But some of my favorite parts were Kara's hesitancy toward seeking help. Spot on. Then the moment with her daughter in the brig. Wow - powerfully painful! And then the description of those moments like snapshots was so effective and I really love how it works with the story as a whole. Excellent writing! :)

Thank you bb! I'm glad the doc scenes were working, I was very nervous about those... and the scene with Seph... I worried about being too OOC... I wanna show Kara being loving but she's also not like... supermom.

You're in good hands with scifishipper as beta. Trust her on this stuff. :>)

Yeah, another update. I am glad to see Kara finally getting somewhere.

Hopefully she'll keep going, hmn? Glad you like.

Wonderful chapter! It's nice to see Kara trying to work through her problems. Dr. Scoffa's approach is very interesting and I like that he got Kara to talk. *hugs Kara*

Can't wait to read more!

In the world of therapeutic crisis intervention, that's what we call distraction and redirection. :) *hugs Kara too* I'm working away!

I'm really, really enjoying this fic. I literally squealed when I saw that there was a new chapter. I see in the other comments that you were worried about your portrayal of Kara, especially in regards to Seph and seeking help, but you've handled her beautifully thus far. Even though we didn't get to see these sides of her in canon, I think you've captured how she would have dealt with these situations accurately.

The only downside? Only 3 chapters left!

Thanks, this story is so AU that it's hard to tell sometimes! I'm a-workin' away on the next chapter. No idea when it will be done though.
