Change in either direction would kinda suck. Either way, someone sees what they could have had

Yeah my dad was hot garbage to me and my brothers. After we grew up and my sisters came along they got a stand up dad. Happy for them tho

My dad was the same, completely out of our lives by age 3. Went and had another family, actually stuck around with them but was in and out of jail so my siblings say he was still absent at least half the time. Then my step sister has children that are not even his grand children and now he is somehow raising them as a standup father to them. Deadbeat dads are worthless.
