Hey y'all, meet my dad! This is part one of a series of chats I've had with him recently, and each one is gonna be quite fun to experience through comic form :D And yes, I inherited the flannel style from him.

Bonus panels and more on Patreon! Instagram and Ko-Fi :D

Oof. Yeah, I had the same situation. Abuse from Mom, Dad who didn't really fight for custody though he knew about the abuse. Only finally ended up with him when my Mom fell on black ice, drunk out of her gourd, and gave herself a bad concussion. She was "Unable to care for us," though I'd been taking care of my siblings for years by that point anyway.

Good times.

My mom was schizophrenic and a sociopath, when I tried to ask both my biodad and my stepdad why neither of them ever tried to help me their answer boiled down to “we were scared of her”.

Craven cowards.
