Hi. Good character building. I like the way this gently brings up the horror of living with drink. Gotta say, it's in my genes, but, lucky I realised it. Still, inthe end it is choice. For a kid, they can only watch and scatter.
I look forward to the next piece.

Comment from Rosalyne
Hi Gretchen.
This is a well-written chapter that shows the weight Rory has had to carry. Knowing that his father is drinking again is only going to bring problems. You've shown his concerns well. I like the way you brought in his grandmother and a bit of back story from his childhood. This works really well.
Bye
Rosalyne :)

Comment from Jay Squires
Another fine chapter, Gretchen. I have only one concern, certainly easily fixable if you agree with it. No need to fix if you don't. LOL.
"My dad ain't tooken a drink since before I was born [This sentence didn't click for me, Gretchen. Was he acting out before the group? This wasn't his normal speech pattern. This certainly wasn't the same person who thought: "but I don't buy in to inheriting poor choices as part of the gene pool."
I wonder if Dad even realized the irony of his statement. Saying and doing are two different things. Amen. [Oh, I love this last line, Gretchen!]

I thought Rory would say it like this when he was much younger. His thought and speech process has developed over time. If it sounds too odd ballish, then let me know and I'll fix it. Maybe he should say "My dad hasn't took a drink since before I was born." I remember take, takes, taking and took giving me a fit when I was little. LOL. Thanks for the valuable feedback. Gretchen

Well he is in a pickle. He just doesn't know what to do but we know he had better do something because the fuse has been lit and he will have a hard time from now on. Well done Gretchen
