My parents were alcoholics, neglectful of emotional needs, and definitely played favorites with myself, brother and sister.
I couldn't get out of there fast enough, and did at 17. I have only recently developed a relationship with them. My dad remains distant and apparently expects me to commit all of the effort to maintain a relationship.
I like my Mom better, but frankly, if I were to move far away, I probably wouldn't miss either one.
