I can see that. My father started getting sick when I was about 10 and died just after I turned 13 so I don't have resentment since it wasn't his choice but was also kinda latchkey child.

I'm sorry you had to go through that so young. I was in my thirties and hadn't seen my dad in decades when he died and it still affected me. I couldn't imagine going through it at that age.
