For those of us who are newer (and don't want to assume anything), what's the situation?

Be safe.

No apologies remember Inny....(((((((love)))))))

Of course you miss your dad, that's normal isn't it? I miss my mum, or who I would like to BE a mum. We all crave that paternal and maternal love we were never really shown, I would be worried if you didn't miss him......I wish I could find the words to comfort you, I can listen and hold you and be here for you, but I miss both my parents, they are still here, but not the 'loving' kind at all. I crave that kind of love sometimes.

You are not alone

Jinny xxxxxx Dad

It's so sad that your father was never able to get sober. It's heartbreaking. And you have every right to miss him. It's not strange or wrong at all.

My only advice I suppose is that the void he left can be filled with love from other people. This probably sounds pretty empty in the moment but I believe it.

I hope you feel better soon and post about your Dad all you'd like.

{{{Inny}}}

It's hard when we love someone who doesn't return the favor and we ache wanting them. My Dad died in 1992, he was a "good" dad but I was trying to remember incidents last night and he was just a pleasant guy to be around, not personally with me or anything. I remember one incident when we worked together one summer while I was in college, I worked where he worked and it was raining one afternoon when we finished work and we "ran" to the car. I'd never seen my rather formal father "run" and it was surprising to me. But that's the only sorts of thing I remember in relation to me alone, not much :-( But just remembering the "possibilities" that didn't materialize is sad.

You can never bring up your emotions too much. We care about you and want to be here to support you when you are in pain.

My father is an alcoholic too...I have now seen him twice in over 10 years. I understand missing him but I also understand how hard it is to connect with him.

I am sending positive thoughts your way...
