Quite depressing but to be honest reading other comments and you saying this happened did not surprise me. The world is cruel and cold for some people and thinking about the fact stuff similar to this might have happened to countless kids breaks my heart. Overall 10/10 good written with the details and character designs. The real ending made me happy since i could feel thomas.
Thank you for reading through, I'm aware that not everyone is willing to read stories with abuse. Strikes too close to home for some, and it's a subject no one really wants to witness even in fictional form.
Writing this helped me heal a little bit, so I do admit there's a bit of me in all 3 kids. And I believe we can all agree that Thomas is on the right path.
