“Is it also true that you broke up with Dr. House -- a chronic pain sufferer who had developed pseudo-addiction issues as a results of his extreme pain -- because, after a commendable year and a half of sobriety, he took one Vicodin in a moment of emotional distress?”This is an extremely leading question and shows the bias of the panel at this point

IMO, House giving up his sobriety after a commendable year and a half and taking one Vicodin to overcome his immense fear of loosing Cuddy to be there for her, was the biggest gift he could give her

Thank you for the new chapter! I enjoyed reading it

IMO, Cuddy wasn’t a very likeable character since the beginning of the show but has had potential to develop to a great character. Then someone had the really bad idea to make Cuddy to House’s love interest and it all went downhill from this point of time on.

Today, someone said to me in an answer to a review for another fanfiction that in the show Cuddy would have made a better friend and Wilson would have worked better as House’s love interest. When I think about it, then I come to the conclusion that this someone probably is right.

I don’t think that it is OK to drive into someone’s house and use the dining room as a parking garage, too. But Cuddy certainly owns and created with her behavior towards House, lots of the chain links in the chain reaction, which have lead to House snapping and driving his car into her house.

I also think that the questioning of the people for their behavior towards House is very justified and long overdue. That’s one of the reasons why I love Zeppomarx’s story so much.

Yes. What they said :) I couldn't have said it better myself :)

This is good. Of course Cuddy is trying to remind herself that she is a victim. But that is not the whole truth, and she knows that. That's why she needed "reminding" in the first place

Thanks, all, for such thoughtful responses.

readingrat wrote me privately about this chapter, but asked if I would post her comments, because she preferred not to get a lot of emails if there was a big response. (readingrat -- hope I worded that correctly
