[quote=Anonymous]Child of alcoholic father here. Yep. He was neglectful but short of flat out abusive, never relied on him, had a distant relationship for childhood through early adulthood maybe seeing him a few times a year and now that he is retired, lonely and in very poor health he wants and expects more from our relationship. We keep it light but he has never been a dad to me, he’s now more like a kid to take care of and I have small kids of my own. I help when I can but I have needed help from a therapist to untangle feelings of guilt, resentment, and duty. He’s never come to terms with his role in creating a lot of hardship in my life and maintains the same selfish mindset that has propped up his alcoholism all along. Fun times! [/quote]
