Thank you.
Some background: My dad left us and came back when I was 5. He then divorced my mother again when I was 20. I was happy when they divorced. I believed that they weren't a good match. My father was also an alcoholic. He became a much better man and is trying to make up for his mistakes.
My dilemma is whether I should stay for the child... but from my experience being the child, seeing a father who's not happy and only engaged 50% of the time isn't great either... I have a much better relationship with my father now than I ever have.
