	Not long. I don't think they were...together when Molly came and talked to us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Does he think that because they share a mantle, that makes it okay? Does he not realize the power dynamic is even more imbalanced between then than ever? How could he take advantage of her like that? She was barely stable.

And now she has power over him! And he's letting her use it with impunity! And there's not a damn thing we can do about it because they're out of our reach now. Carlos' authority doesn't extend into Winter.

God as my witness, Michael, if I find out either one of them did this knowingly...

I don't think he realises that, Charity. I know Molly doesn't. She's still so young, she has no idea what she's dealing with. I want to believe she's doing all right, that she's coping with this, but I know this isn't the way. It isn't healthy for either of them. But making them see that? I don't know if either of them is capable of seeing it.

I don't want to push Molly further away. She's only just started to reach out to us again. And Harry. I know you have always had your reservations about him, but he is a good man. And he is my best friend.

	Obviously, she's not coping. She's playing right into their hand--and so is your so-called friend. He should know better. It's inexcusable! And it's all my fault, for not being honest about magic in the first place. I drove her to this. Oh, Michael, what have I done? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't you take this all on yourself, Cherry. I wasn't always there when she was growing up, when she needed her father. We're both at fault, but I don't know that it would have made a difference. She's made her own choices, Cherry. All we can do now is let her know we still love and support her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...I don't know if I can support this, Michael. This isn't like Daniel and Inari. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	godsmortalfist 2013-01-13 02:40 pm UTC (link)
	She's only just started to trust again, Cherry. I don't think we can afford to push her away. We can support her, without supporting this. We just have to let her know we're here for her, no matter what. That she can always come to us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	domesticmcgyver 2013-01-13 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	No, Michael, I can't. I don't know how. And I will not bend over backwards to reach out to that sorcerer if this is how he treats our friendship. I just won't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am not supporting Harry's behavior at all. What he's done is unacceptable. But I can not shut the door in Molly's face. I won't do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I tell her how I feel about this, she'll think I'm pushing her away. If I say nothing, she'll think I'm pushing her away. What am I supposed to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	godsmortalfist 2013-01-14 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Tell her you love her, and you'll always be there for her. She knows we don't approve. Until she sees it for herself, anything else we say will be taken as an attack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Help me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	godsmortalfist 2013-01-14 01:58 am UTC (link)
	I'm here, Charity. I'm right here. Holding your hand. Holding you up, no matter what. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	domesticmcgyver 2013-01-14 02:21 am UTC (link)
	I love you, Michael. I love our children. All of them. I just want us to be safe, and happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I love you, Charity. And that's all I've ever wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's...just try to enjoy this vacation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	godsmortalfist 2013-01-14 03:21 am UTC (link)
	That sounds like an excellent plan. (Reply to this) (Parent)
