This was my dad growing up. (Although my mom worked a lot at her job, too.) He's since expressed his regret over it, and the sad thing is that at the time we were all perfectly happy for him to work all the time because he was just such a difficult person. But now that he's retired and had a chance to breathe and heal, he is such a different person and I love spending time with him. We are both cantankerous weirdos with ADHD, and our weekends together are often spent doing projects, losing track of half our tools, and then comparing stories about the dumbest things our impaired attention span has caused us to do.

Basically, he just needed a chance to be HUMAN.

That was a beautiful ending in its own way :)
