Adult children of divorced parents w/ unequal custody, how do you view the parent you saw less growing up now & why do you feel that may be?

I used to think my father was a hero until I went and lived with him for 3 years at the age of 12. As it turns out HE had issues. BAD. He had a drinking problem. He had a bad temper. He was very controlling. His wife was a bitch and there was no pleasing her or getting on her good side. No matter what I did it seemed I was always getting my ass chewed over petty bullshit. It was not a fun 3 years. My mom finally let me move back in with her. She said it was because she got sick of listening to me beg and cry to see him. She wanted me to learn what he was like. After I moved back in with her, he wanted nothing to do with me. Still wants nothing to do with me to this day.

That was heartbreaking to read. So sorry you were treated like that :(
 
I didn't have a particularly close relationship with my father growing up, it didn't really feel like he made much of an effort with my brother and I..

It was only really when I got married and mentioned something in my speech that we truly formed more of a bond, and we're now closer than ever despite still not really seeing each other nearly enough! In fact I'd probably say that roles have reversed, and I'm now closer to him than I am my mother.
