A reader wonders if the she should let go of her relationship with her alcoholic father.
My father and I have always had a strained relationship. He is a recovering alcoholic. He says she wouldn’t let me see him, but I remember him forgetting my birthday, promising to visit but not showing and telling me he’s too busy.
Some years ago, I tried to repair the relationship after finding out he lived nearby. He seemed mellower, though I still had to do most of the reaching out. He stopped responding two months ago. I found out from someone else he’s mad that I didn’t want to do some of the traditional American wedding things, such as being walked down the aisle by my father.
