I know this is way off topic but Dondon you are so friggin funny, you leave some of the best reviews. My sister once asked my mum what a hooker was. The look on my mum's face was hilarious.
"C'mon and finish that cancer stick and come back inside. Your mom's taking the lasagna out of the oven"
I loved that line, such a dad thing to say.
Another brilliant chapter and all the anxieties Gerard felt before finally letting himself feel something good. No put the vodka away. It must be a nightmare having that constant thirst and desire.
Oh and on the cat front. You just have to accept they rule the house. I often wake up to find my cat sitting on my hair, nice or batting me on the face to get under the covers.Totally pisses my boyfriend off. She wakes up at 6.30 and totally demands her breakfast. Good prep if i ever have children i suppose.

lol Yeah dondon leaves some good reviews, huh! When I was a kid, there was no internet so every time I asked some crazy question like that my parents had to suck it down and tell me! ha!
I like writing the dad character in my stories 'cause of course I superimpose my own dad on there!
While I was writing this one I did have some reservations about it. Yeah, it's some pretty personal shit, but it all honesty, it was the first time in awhile that anything like that happened (barring what happened on Day 5 of course because that was, well, it was exactly what it was really - autopilot ) . Another lovely side effect to being drunk all the time I'm afraid. But beyond the physical stuff, the emotional aspect was very important. Being able to feel good like that really was a step forward. And of course, feeling like "can't" and then being able to "do it", meant a lot too.
I think cats are always thinking of ways to just mess with you. LOL And yeah ... 6:30am feedings. Cats ... the "gateway drug" to children. LMAO
