awe man, thank you so much! her dad wasn't a whole lot better. he played in a band and while he was never physically abusive or anything, he did go out on her mom a lot before she up and left, lived out the "sex, drugs, and rock n roll" persona, and left her in the care of her aunt more often than not. so they could have bonded over that, even! idk what you had in mind for his dad's life outside of home but maybe he was even in her dad's band? i'd love to say they were best friends growing up! she moved out to ca almost immediately out of high school so like....10 years ago. when did he move?
