Bracing myself, I swipe to accept, clamping down on the overwhelming urge to address him by name. Antagonizing him will only make it worse, and it’s bad enough as it is. “Hi, Dad.” Doug Richards. Nationally renowned minor hockey coach, head of the prestigious minor hockey program at Copperhill Sports Academy, and world-class asshole. AKA, my father.
Just as i suspected. The overbearing, hard-ass, borderline abusive dad trope to explain emotional immaturity.
