I would like to ask everyone a favor, whether you have already read or are planning to read Her Beta.
I have been receiving so many negative comments about one of my characters - the mom - because of her actions, and it makes me so upset. You see a ‘selfish’, ‘hypocrite’, ‘cowardly’, ‘poor excuse of a mother’ - the list goes on.
But you have to understand that I wrote this character, and I put my heart into all of my characters. You are insulting someone I’ve created and care about, so please if you don’t like her, please keep it to yourself.
It hurts to know that you don’t see her as the strong, SCARED mother that didn’t know what to do, so did what she thought was best for her and her child even though it hurts every day.
And allow me to ask you this: What would you do if you got overly intoxicated and slept with someone you didn’t know anything about and ended up pregnant? Tell me you wouldn’t be terrified and worried that you couldn’t handle it. Now look at the mom, and see that she didn’t give up her child even though she was TERRIFIED.
So PLEASE, don’t comment negatively on the mom anymore. I want to cry when I see them, and it makes me not want to share anything I write because you won’t look past the surface.
