re: Alternate Focus: you have no relationship with your dad and no plans to see him

In. My dad was a raging alcoholic and pill head and my childhood was often really fricked up because of it. His behavior continues to this day. As a result, my relationship with him as an adult is just...weird. It's not that I don't love the guy; I don't know how to explain it. He'll be receiving a text message and that's about it.
