This was an awesome story! Love hurt Sam and awesome Dean!

First off you did an excellent job with a very delicate subject matter. Thank you for that. Second I think that "whateve876's" comments are not only insensitive but absolutely disgusting. Nothing is funny about rape. Nothing. It's a truly violent crime that has nothing to do with gender or age. Maybe you should educate yourself more before you speak again.

Congrats!

You've been rec'd at the spn_littlebro community on Livejournal!

Great story. Love the ending.

Ouch, John struck a nerve there xD

...Damn Sam D: Raped? Cutting? Not speaking? Lashing out? All he needs is a manicure and he'd be a girl.

Holy crap, Sam was raped? Hmm, thought that only happened to teenage girls.

This was fuckin' brilliant! The characterizations were perfect, the responses to these extremely intense and heart-breaking situations were spot-on, and I REALLY enjoyed reading this...I thought it ended perhaps a little abruptly, but it fit nonetheless.

Brilliant work, definately looking into your other stories now!

Thank goodness Dean finally got Sammy to understand that what happened wasn't his fault. Otherwise, I don't think Sammy would have ever overcome the *abuse* he suffered!

Good conclusion! You dealt well with the topic, and again, it was quite in-character. I particularly enjoyed the ending, which was a nice alternative to Sam fighting with the whole family, and then leaving in anger to go to Stanford.

"He liked it when I screamed." Very chilling sentence. It really added to the darker mood of the story.

Aw, great finish! If only they could have ended up that way...not Sam going through what he did, but the having an apartment and making Stanford work. That would have been nice. :) But then we wouldn't have so much fic fodder. :D

Glad Dean was able to find a way to help his brother! Also glad we didn't have to read all about what happened. Thanks for that. :)

Oh, and there were a few places where Dean was spelled Dena. I don't care if you don't and Dean just told me he doesn't. :D

Nicely done. :)

I love how you cover so much ground without really coming out and saying exactly what happened to Sam. You allow our imaginations to roam wild which is plenty bad enough.

Happy endings are always welcome! Dean helped Sam move past his trauma, no easy feat.

I have so missed your writing. I'm glad you were able to treat us while on vacation :)

omg... tell me dean will kill him the person who hurt sammy..?

you really should have warned better for this one - its a lot more than unpleasantness - i don't like to read such things a more appropriate warning would have been appreciated

Awesome! You should so do a follow up of what happened. Poor poor Sammy, you did a great job with this!

You did a great job with your story.

I felt bad for Sam with what happen to him, the physical and emotional trauma he went through. I also felt bad for Dean, because big brother didn't know how to help Sam, not this time. Rape does affect the whole family.

I like that we all know what happen to Sam, but you didn't go into a lot of detail, left it up to our imaginations.

I really liked the end, Sam went to college, but he was still going to be living with his family, they didn't leave him.

Thanks for sharing your story with us.
