Warnings: PTSD and flashbacks; references to past domestic abuse, past rape, past child abuse, past child sexual abuse, "present" teen sexual abuse, abortion and guilt over it; alcoholism; drug use; addiction; underage prostitution in terms of sex in exchange for drugs (very oblique/non-graphic); traumatic amputation and character with gunshot wounds from war. Each chapter has its relevant warnings.
Summary: When Brenda and Bill strike up a relationship, they don't know how they'll change each other, nor how their children will factor in. From the mundane things like raising a family, to the realities of their everyday (PTSD, anxiety, depression, and, eventually, a lost limb), to the unusual, their family solidifies every step of the way.
Notes: Many thanks to my beta, bookblather, and my wife for pushing me to finish the last difficult chapter. Thanks also to rainbowfic readers whose input has helped shape how this family develops.
