      Honestly I wish I had an emotionally supportive dad so that I could fully understand this sentiment, but as things are I can only appreciate it from an artistic perspective.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful he’s still around. He’s grown up in a lot of ways, but in many ways he’s still the same and I’ve had to just learn to accept that he’ll never be the father figure I always needed…

        I agree with this. Mine entered hospice without even telling me; I found out he died from his friends.

        You just have to work with what you’re given, and do a better job for your own children.
