What were some of your biggest concerns and questions growing up surrounding this situation?

Fear.
Fear that I would never see one parent or another. Losing my Maternal Grandfather the next year was a horrible blow as well. My Dad was an alcoholic and the year of the divorce he came over and passed out in the chair. For a long time I resisted Holidays as pagan when deep down I was fearful to face that memory again.
When Granddad died, it did cause my Dad to sober up with AA. That was good news/bad news for the Humanistic ideals he then fought with me over regarding faith.
