MAJOR EDIT NOTES AND PUBLIC APOLOGY re HALF LIVES

[binaryalchemist]

For the record--

The Title of Chapter 3 has been changed to "No Easy Answers". The line where Roy suggests that both Ed and Winry are victims has been removed and a small edit was made. I was called to task privately by a professional that works with abuse victims--remember, I was only a survivor/peer counselor for the Coalition to Assist Abused Persons. This person was very angry over the title and Roy's suggestion that the person who does the injury is a victim too. Hopefully my edit will clarify this so no one else misinterprets what I was trying to convey. I have changed every single posting of the story and formally apologised to this person. Rather than go back and repost it on my own LJ I am posting this apology and disclaimer since this is not widely read by this LJ.

Again, if a badly turned phrase or title implied something I did not intend, I apologize.

Well you have heard fro me already XDD But also, sometimes abusers become abusers cause they were abused once before (not sayng winry was) but some have been, so that person, if they're counsler SHOULD REALIZE THIS And again WInry was a victim in a way and if that person can't realize this, then they need to go and learn some more because you were in the right and if they don't like it they can shove it and go read something else. You should not have to change anything for anyone when you are correct :/
