That is soo sad. David didn't deserve her, he has to understand that some forms of abuse don't go away overnight. I'm the same way, don't say or do certain things or I will completely shut down. I understand where she is coming from. I truly feel for her. I hope that she is able to help Izzy.
Update soon.

Interesting chapter and informative.

Kenya girl... you didn't need a man like David in your life anyway, If that man truly loved you he will see that you got help and not make you feel as though you are damage. I don't know what to say about her parents but good riddance. Thanks MP for this update.

Thank God for aunt Phyllis. Kenya has to get help for herself too. Her mother, her father and her boyfriend was all abusers to me.

Kenya you deserved better than David anyway he was selfish . Sexally abuse is not something you just get over and the fact that she was having sex at all says a lot. David didn't deserve your goodies Kenya, he did you favor.

Oh Izzy was cock blocking! That was funny! poor Kenya she is not her mother's keeper. I hope what her aunt lefted her mother if anything was a quote about what makes a mother and how you should treat people. Thanks for this update MP!

I really want to like this story, but I cannot dismiss how you seem to try really hard to paint Izzy's mother to be ghetto, hood, or ratchet. I mean, she is obviously a bad mother because of what she allowed to happen to her child. However, the commentary about her attire, umemployment, unruly family, behavior, and even some of the things she says play right into stereotypes of black women. I get this bad black woman (Regina) v. good black woman (Kenya) vibe that leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. Even worse when it is commentary from Luc's perspective. Like, we already know she is a bad/evil person, you dont have to demonize further through stereotypes.
My black feminism and #blackgirlmagic includes my ratchet sisters as well. Don't write to pit us against eachother, society does enough of that.
It really is a great story, those things jumped out at me. Keep writing.
Xoxo,

Author's Response:
Regina is not supposed to be a likeable character. It's just fiction and I don't plan to publish it outside of chamber. The majority of the readers on chamber are black women or other women of color. Trust me the caricatures that Tyler Perry makes of us sometimes are worst to the point where we know the plot of every movie and that's seen by the general public. At least here its only seen by us.

Oh Izzy, you are a hoot and too cute.
Reviewer: BellaChica Signed [Report This]Date: July 28 2016 10:18 pm
Aww Izzy you ruined it! They were definitely going to kiss. LOl. I'm just glad that Luc is trying to be there for Kenya. I know she needs it. I wonder what's going to be on that will when she reads it. I'm sure it will be a shocker for everyone.
Update soon.

Kenya kick your incubator she deserves nothing but first class to ticket to hell wearing gasoline draws.

Thanks for posting this, its one of my favorites!

I don't blame Izzy for wanting to replace her mother. Miss Clark is a wonderful person, it makes sense that at her age she attaches to the female figure who shows her love and care like a mother should. I do wonder what's on this will. I think she should go over it soon, that way she can start the process to move on with her life.
Update soon

Isn't that nice. I'm happy that he was there for her. I doubt that she be able to make it through services otherwise.
Reviewer: KeiKei Signed [Report This]Date: July 14 2016 07:04 am
I'm glad that she took him up on his offer and called. She is going to need someone there with her since her piece of shit mother won't be.
Reviewer: KeiKei Signed [Report This]Date: July 14 2016 06:38 am
Oh no!!!! That is sad. Why did they have to tell her like that? Jesus
Reviewer: KeiKei Signed [Report This]Date: July 14 2016 06:29 am
Awesome cast!!! Who plays Luc? And yaaaasss, for Blair! I love him and he's an awesome actor but he seems yo do well with playing crazy deranged but cases!!!
Reviewer: Vie Signed [Report This]Date: July 10 2016 04:23 pm
Regina is a piece of work, she has no remorse. After Luc and Kenya get the police and Child Services involved there is no way in hell that Regina would ever get unsupervised visits, hell, she may even won't be able to get any visitation rights!!! She and that damned landlord will probably be in jail for child abuse, child endangerment, sexual abuse, battery and exploitation as well as sexual human trafficking, we're looking at some decent jail time.
Reviewer: Vie Signed [Report This]Date: July 10 2016 04:21 pm
This mother is a piece of work and little do this dummy realize, what she is doing to Izzy is human trafficking!!! How dare you use your daughter as a means to pay rent and this landlord needs his ass served to him on a platter!!!! This is sad. We hardly get these types of stories and this one is much appreciated. I'm a counselor for abuse and neglect to children and vulnerable adults so this story doesn't surprise me, this is a typical report for me. It just gets harder and harder when you want to leave all professionalism behind and take matters into your own hands.

Bernadette needs to hurry up and drop dead herself.
When Izzy is old enough to process what her mother put her through, Regina will be lucky if Izzy visits her long enough to cuss her out. Assuming she's not 'taken care of' in prison.
I understand that Kenya wants to keep things professional, but I love how Luc's family are already steering and manning the SS Lucenya.

I love that Luc calls Izzy princess! Is it bad that hope that I hope Regina and Keith get shanks in prison? I want the literary gods kill Bernadette too, that ho needs to go!

Kenya just needs a little space that's all, plus she don't want to confuse Izzy with the in's and out's of an adult relationship. But Kenya and Izzy is looking for the same thing LOVE!. I like how Izzy is finally getting to act like a child and not having to deal with grow-up situations( she can just be a kid ). Thanks for this update MP.

I enjoyed the update....
Reviewer: Bredreaway Signed [Report This]Date: June 29 2016 12:19 pm
This is just a sad situation all the way around. Sad because Izzy don't have her mother around to love her unconditional. Sad because her innocence was taking away by an monster. Sad because she loves her mother no matter what. Sad because Kenya feels all alone but happy that they have each other.
Reviewer: Blessed Soul Signed [Report This]Date: June 11 2016 05:56 am
I didn't want to read this story! I was shocked by the middle of the first chapter. You dragged me in though and I had to come back. As a mother I will probably have nightmares now, but I love your writing style.
