[quote=Anonymous]My dad was an active duty, career military officer of 30 years. He was largely absent from family life. My dad was often deployed, attending school and/or at an unaccompanied tour. My mother was a SAHM who was slavishly devoted to my dad's career and was omnipresent, at least physically. She was, for all practical purposes, a single parent. My dad was highly functioning alcoholic; when he was home, we avoided him. My dad is now gone, but we had a fractured relationship, although there simply wasn't much there to fracture - no togetherness, warm memories, no interaction, etc. [/quote]
