Thanfully, especially in real life, Brian has an amazing source of support inside his family. It hasn't been easy for them too, especially for Baylee who had to witness his father going through this and not being really able to help him.
Poor Brian. He places too much pressure on himself, especially when he's with the Boys. He wants to be better with them, he wants to prove them that they can rely on him once again and, mostly, I think he doesn't want for them to constantly worry about him. And that's why he keeps faltering with them: if he just let himself go like he did at home... Oh Bri! I feel for you even if this is only a story. *goes inside the story and hugs him tight*
Author's Response: Yeah, I think a good support system is one of the most important things in this situation, I'm so very glad he seems to have that in real life. Don't really know how much Baylee is informed of these issues though. I don't imagine he knows nothing about them, but yeah, how much of this do you discuss with your son? I suppose the pressure is the biggest negative factor too, in terms of expecting way too much, way too fast. Maybe if he just pretends he's in his own house, in his own studio, things could be a little better, but I guess that's just very difficult to do. You wish this was just a story.

Poor Brian this story is so real I could see this really happening to him and just the thought makes me sad. Great chapter can't wait for more.
Author's Response: I try to get as much details right and to leave as little as possible up to my own interpretation. I can actually see him smashing an empty glass on the floor in frustration, as it's perfectly understandable in a situation like this. Not really sure though, cause I've never really seen him raging or anything.

How frustrating! Just when he thinks he is better. Crashes and burns. I'm glad for the support of his wife. In real life, she seems supportive and has loads of faith in Brian. I think she is misunderstood... And sometimes people want to find the bad in others.
I do feel bad that his family is feeling his wrath. Yikes, poor Baylee.
Gosh, he didn't even get to have his bourbon. That's a blessing though. Sometimes drowning your anger, stress, sadness in alcohol can be bad. Not something you want to get into a habit of.
You are a great updater! Yay
Author's Response: I imagine it has happened a lot, actually. I notice it a lot on forums too. Brian can sing a song almost perfectly, and then makes one mistake which erases all he has accomplished and people still bash him for it, even though the rest of the song was good. It's just terrible to see happening. Yeah, in these types of situations, you need all the support you can get and I'm glad he can rely on his family for that. Don't really know how much Baylee is informed of these things though. MOST of the times drowning problems is bad. But we'll see if he can get his bourbon on a later date. I'm only a great updater when I am inspired, and since I recently rewatched the documentary and it rebroke my heart, I wanted to pick up where this story left off.
