May I ask you, is (or was if he passed) your dad a bitter lonely person even after he stopped drinking?
I'm pretty sure he's still alive. Haven't spoken to him in over 15 years after I found out he stole my college fund. He's never met my sons. He remarried when I was 12 and has a replacement family- wife, stepdaughter, 3 or 4 grandkids. I have no idea if he's bitter or lonely. I hope not.
