I can't even begin to imagine what this has all been like for you. The love, and compassion, and humor, and general goodness in your stories (that must have a home in you, or they wouldn't have ended up there) is a blessing, and I can't imagine anyone better suited to the teaching world. It absolutely breaks my heart that you've had to go through this. I wish you a new year that brings comfort, closure, new direction, and many, many, many smiles. <br /><br />**love and hugs**Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522906594749698271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-2028439287709716562011-12-31T07:25:46.688-08:002011-12-31T07:25:46.688-08:00I knOw this doesn't help but there are so many...I knOw this doesn't help but there are so many people supporting you.

You no longer need to deal with druggies, criminals and teen psychopaths face to face, and the whole broken California school system will no longer be able to mangle you in its gears. It can be hard to leave a completely dysfunctional relationship, but it is for sure the very best thing for you.

There's that old cliché/truth of what doesn't kill you, make you stranger. No, I think it was <i>stronger</i>...<br /><br />Another silver lining: 2012 can't be much crappier than 2011, right? :)<br /><br />I have to say that my 2011 has been just a little bit better because of your books, Amy. And the occasional email we've swapped when I've figured you'd know something and wouldn't mind me asking despite everything that's been going on with your life. <br /><br />You inspire me and probably a lot of other people too.

I couldn't help thinking that I hoped we'd live to see the day we'd look back at this era and think the same way about LGBTQ rights. I hope for all our sakes it won't take 50 years.<br />We all fight to make m/m romance more about the literature and less about the porn, but it will take time. You're fighting the good fight, Amy.<br />*hugs*Zahrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504025978715691077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-9145492086886351722011-12-31T01:13:36.942-08:002011-12-31T01:13:36.942-08:00I am really sorry you had to go through all this. ...I am really sorry you had to go through all this.

I'm glad you have a supportive mate to help you through it all. And I know it may sound trite, but I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason. I don't know what kind of teacher you were, but you are an exceptional writer. Please--embrace your gift. What you do is important, because teaching tolerance is important. It makes the world a better place. Your "Little Goddess" series is a great read, and I really think that if it weren't for the bisexuality and homosexuality, the books would have been hailed as great romance novels. But here's the thing--these relationships exist. They are valid and beautiful and shouldn't be shunned. They should be accepted as normal and even mundane, not dismissed as porn. I think your books help people to see that. Before I read Corey's books, I may have said the same thing. You helped made me see that you can't help who you fall in love with!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09038414036680008283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-13480368441604718182011-12-30T18:12:45.975-08:002011-12-30T18:12:45.975-08:00*hugs*
