With only a few words you painted such a picture of the father. I could feel my skin crawl.

I agree with Judy - man, that father! You sure wrote a character that makes you want to hate him! And you sure created a great character to care about and root for!

That line "They burn a trail of shame along my skin"... powerful. This line really helps me understand the relationship and how painful it is for Emma. Relationships that involve shaming can do a lot of damage, from what I've seen. I'm definitely curious to know where this is going. Well done.
