Runs in the Family 6

John sat staring at a framed painting on the opposite wall. Hung in the same spot since before he could remember, not quite center on the wall across from the sofa, a large stain stretching from the left of it, bubbling up the wallpaper.  It depicted a man sitting solemnly beside a body of blue green water.  It wasn’t a particularly good painting,

I'm loving this fic, it's a fantastic exploration of how alcoholism can affect families and the shame and stigma attached to it. I haven't reviewed before because I'm usually reading on my phone at work, but since I'm off sick I thought I'd tell you how much I love this.

If you still want a beta and a sounding board I'm happy to offer to help, I'm around most evenings.

I love this fic. Don't feel too bad. I think I love it because I do have an alcoholic sibling, and I can remember the calls we used to get from my brother who had been away at war. When I was a kid I didn't understand it, I just felt angry with him, I do better now. He was always concerned for my safety and I had to keep saying that I was fine.

This is lovely, looking forward to seeing how it goes.
I will beta and Britpick for you if you like, I generally have time.

I just found this fic. I really was enjoying it. Hope to see the rest of it eventually.
