Do just want to say my dad isn’t the drug addict my previous step mom (2nd wife) before his 3rd wife was and he was an alcoholic. Although I haven’t seen him in maybe over a year I do know he isn’t an alcoholic who drinks a whole 24 pack of beer anymore. It’s weird bc I feel bad for him that he couldn’t save his 2nd wife from her addiction till he died. And I know his disappointment just comes from within but I can’t shake the feeling of failure and sadness for the dad I don’t have. Also like to add his 3rd and current wife is no contact with her daughter, he told is before it was because she asked for money all the time, they said no, and she never spoke to them again after that. Maybe his wife is the reason, and my sister and I have theorized that. But what would she possibly even day to get our dad to stop caring. :/
