[quote=Anonymous]My dad is the hero of every story he tells (which is really just covering up for all his deep insecurities). He is also an alcoholic that drove us around drunk when we were Kids. He is a pathological liar. He remarried after my mom died so he is his new wife’s problem. None of his kids have much of anything to do with him. It is easiest for me, because I realized who he really was in my early 20s. It is much harder for my sister who didn’t figure it out until her 40s. A part of her still thinks he can change even though she knows deep down it will never, ever happen. A third party can often help you think through how much you will do or not do. That might be a husband, a friend or a therapist you pay. There are also lots of good books to read about boundaries.[/quote]
