Yeah, this Dean could do with a good shake, because he really has NO concept of what kind of damage he's doing. I dunno how much of an excuse that can be or not. It is, as you say 'complicated in the way that so many wrong things can be.'

Thank you so much for reading this and commenting on it. It was a hard story to write, and to post, and it makes me so grateful to get such honest, thoughtful feedback on it, you don't even know. ♥
